About the Bible Plan
Hebrews 4:12 tells us: “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
Gain a better picture of the order of biblical events as well as historical context reading through The One Year Chronological Bible. This plan is based upon the YouVersion One Year Chronological Bible and will allow you to read through the entire Bible in one year.
The goal of the One Year Bible Plan is to provide enough framework to daily Bible reading that personal reading becomes an enjoyable, manageable part of your day. To help you in making Bible reading part of your daily routine, we’ve provided the resources below.
Sign up for the “Daily Post” to have Bible Plan resources delivered to your inbox and be encouraged by the work of the Lord in the lives of His people!
With so many of us reading through the same Bible reading schedule, why not make the Word of God part of our fellowship with one another? Rather than focusing our conversations merely on our families, health, or favorite sports teams, let’s remind one another to share what we have read in and are learning from The One Year Bible Plan. What a refreshing way to experience true biblical fellowship!
Consider asking family members, friends, fellow churchgoers, or even co-workers to join you on this life-changing journey. To use the program for discipleship, you can talk by phone a couple of times each week, or meet each other in person. Consider making this year the year to encourage one another in the Word of God!
