Many Christians take the beginning of a new year to evaluate their Bible reading habits, and then change or begin a Bible reading plan.
Bible intake is critical for growth, for spiritual health, for direction, guidance, counsel, and more!
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105)
For your convenience, we’ve added this list of Bible reading plans from Ligonier Ministries for you to choose from. Maybe in 2020 you will read more of the Bible each day. Perhaps you’ll slow down your reading and instead spend more time considering what you read.
In 2020, we want every member of Hardy Street Baptist Church to:
Get into God's Word - Bible Reading Plan
Grasp God's Word - "Feed Yourself" Workshops
Grow in God's Word - The Disciple's Path Curriculum and the 2017 Bible Memory Plan
Whatever it is you’re looking for in a reading plan, you should find it below! There are lots of choices... our main concern? GETTING YOU INTO THE WORD! The best plan is the one that you actually use!
