2024 Bible Reading Plan
A new year brings the opportunity to start new habits. The pastors of Princeton Christian Church would like to encourage each of you to join us this year in reading through the Bible. Reading through the Bible can seem daunting especially if you have never done this before. While reading the entire Bible in a year seems hard, the rewards are great. The Bible tells us, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away" (Matt 24:35). It also tells us that, "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness" (2 Tim 3:16).
This year we recommend the "Five Day Bible Reading Program" from fivedaybiblereading.com. It will take you through the entire Bible in one year. What makes this plan unique is that it requires only five days a week with the remaining two for catching up on missed readings or time for your own Bible study. There is not an app for it so it would be good to print out the 2024 schedule (the PDF file below) and keep it in your Bible.
When reading through the this plan, a participant may choose the following options (using Week #1 as an example):
Read everything, completing the OT and NT in 2024.
Read just the OT (Gen 1-15; Psalms 19,104, 148).
Read just the NT (Mark 1-5).
Read the NT and Psalms (Mark 1-5; Psalms 19,104, 148).
If you have never read through the Bible starting with Options 3 or 4 likely make the most sense. For those who are more seasoned with reading through Bible choose option 1 but may be with a different version.
If you prefer utilizing a Bible app, the M'Cheyne Bible Plan is another great alternative that can be found on many Bible apps!
We look forward to hearing how God uses His Word to grow you!
