Read the Bible in a year

16 January, 2015/1 Comment/in Blog

Join us as we read through The Bible together this year. We’ll be using a One Year Blended Chronological reading plan. With just a few chapters a day you can read through the entire Bible in one year, alternating between Old and New Testament readings. These readings are compiled according to up-to-date historical research, taking into account the order in which the recorded events actually occurred. It will help you to add valuable historical context to your reading of The Bible.

We have printed versions of the plan available from the info desk on Sundays at Bedfordview, or your resident leaders at the other sites.

Go digital

This Bible reading plan is also available on these popular free apps for your mobile device:

The Bible App

OliveTree’s Bible Study App

Once you’ve installed the app on your mobile device simply search for “Chronological” in the reading plans.

You can use the apps to set a reminder for yourself and even listen to audio recordings of your daily readings.

Tips for finishing

1. Breathe. Don’t panic. You can do this. There’s no pressure. The plan means you only need to put aside a few minutes a day. If you don’t manage, don’t beat yourself up! Try and catch up when you have some more time.

2. Make use of the audio options on the digital versions. This way you can listen to the reading of the day in the car on the way to work. Reading is better (you are more engaged) but if you’re falling behind, use this option!

3. Don’t expect it to be amazing every time. Sometimes we think that if we didn’t ‘feel anything’ we didn’t really do anything. Reading the Bible is about a deep and slow transformation. It’s not always a time of unbelievable revelation. Every time we read God is speaking to us.

4. Find a place and time. Mornings might work better for you. Or perhaps a lunch break. Or perhaps in the evenings after the kids are put to bed. Home might be easier or the office might be easier. Even at the office or home, pick a regular spot – a specific chair or something along those lines. We are creatures of habit. Having a dedicated place and time helps to make it easier to get it done.

5. Journal. As you go through the Bible, take some time to jot down your thoughts. You’ll be amazed when you read back on these thoughts! Journalling helps to inspire us along the way.
