Why Read the Bible?

The Bible is God's Word to us. It reveals God to us, shows us the way to be saved, brings us into a greater experience of friendship with God, and is a primary means of grace in our spiritual formation. This plan is created to assist us in the regular reading of the Bible that we might grow in our relationship with God and with one another as it changes us. 

PRACTICAL Advice

Schedule a Daily Time and Place: You must form a ritualized habit of reading the bible.

Pick a Bible: We teach from the English Standard Version (ESV), but also recommend the Christian Standard Bible (CSB) for readability.

Read the Bible Prayerfully: Pray for God's help to understand, enjoy, and apply what you read. 

Apply What You Read: Respond to God's word in trust and obedience.

Read it With a Friend: Join others in using the plan and share with them what God is showing you. 

Don't Give Up: If you get behind, start again at the assigned reading for the day and move forward.
