Engage Scripture
Read the Bible through in One Year Challenge
Below are links to this year’s church wide challenge to read through the Bible in a year.
Use these DJ Bookmarksto put in four separate places in your Bible.
Here is the list of readings and the instructions listed below in Full Version.
The Discipleship Journal Bible Reading Plan offers special features that will aid you
in your journey through the Bible.
• By reading from four separate places in the Scriptures every day, you should be
able to better grasp the unity of the Scriptures, as well as enjoy the variety of
four different viewpoints.
• You can begin at any point during the year.
• To prevent the frustration of falling behind, which most of us tend to do when
following a Bible reading plan, each month of this plan gives you only 25
readings. Since you’ll have several “free days” each month, you could set aside
Sundays either not to read at all or to catch up on any readings you may have
missed in the past week.
• If you finish the month’s readings by the twenty-fifth, you could use the final
days of the month to study the passages that challenged or intrigued you.
• If reading through the entire Bible in one year looms as too large a task, you can
alter the plan to meet your needs. For example, you could read the gospels and
the wisdom books this year, and the other two categories next year.
In the year ahead, ask God each day to speak directly to you from the Scripture
portions you read. Be expectant, and let your continual exposure to God’s Word
reshape your attitudes and behavior as you gain a better understanding of every
part of His written testimony to us.
