Bible Reading Plans
Picture
Experts believe that daily Bible reading is the number one factor in spiritual growth and development. With that in mind, we want to see you engaged in a daily relationship with God through His Word. Here are two options to consider: one if you're just getting started and one for a long-term reading plan​

Getting Started: Gospel of Matthew
Bible in a Year
Who was Jesus to those who knew Him and lived alongside Him? Join us for this 4-week study, "Matthew: This is Jesus."
This plan takes you through the entire bible with two readings each day: one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament. 
  • He Reads Truth
  • She Reads Truth
  • Bible in a Year
Check out He Reads Truth and She Reads Truth to join ongoing Bible reading plans.
Tips for Reading Your Bible
  1. Read a little bit at a time.
  2. Don't try to read from start to finish.
  3. Understand the type of writing. If it's poetry, don't try to read massive amounts. Combine it with stories that read faster.
  4. Start with an easy-to-read translation like the NLT or ESV.
  5. Join one of New Direction's reading plans or find a reading plan online and follow it. 
Sample Devotional Plan
1. Read Scripture
Use a translation of the Bible that you can understand.

2. Reflect and Meditate
Contemplation is a good discipline to help you discern what the Holy Spirit is speaking to you through the Scripture. 
  • Picture it! Visualize the scene in your mind.
  • Pronounce it! Say the verse aloud, each time emphasizing a different word.
  • Paraphrase it! Rewrite the verse in your own words.
  • Personalize it! Replace the pronouns or people with your own name.
  • Pray it! Turn the verse into a prayer and say it back to God. 

3. Respond and Concede
Acknowledge what God has shown you and obediently reply to Him. Has God revealed:
  • Sin to forsake?
  • Promise to claim?
  • Attitude to change?
  • Command to obey?
  • Example to follow?
  • Prayer to pray?
  • Error to avoid?
  • Truth to believe?
  • Something to thank God for?

4. Request and Share
Talk with God about your personal needs and petitions for others.
