 Over the next 30 days you will have the opportunity to read the entire New Testament. This will not be an easy thing to accomplish but the benefits will far outweigh the sacrifice.
Click here for the reading plan and study guide:
This reading plan has been designed to walk through the New Testament chronologically. That means you will be reading the books of the New Testament in the general order that they were written. We have also built in two grace days a week so that you will have time to rest (or catch up).
We’ve included a weekly thought that will help guide you through the reading. We’ve also included a daily verse that anchors the reading for each day.
This is going to be a life changing experience for all those who commit to the process and keep up with the plan.

WEEK 1| January 1-7
Weekly Thought:
Weekly Thought: Matthew 16:13 says, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” and Matthew 16:15 says, “Who do you (my disciples) say I am?” One of the primary questions being answered by the Gospel testimonies is, “Who is Jesus?” As you read, remember that everything points to the fact that He is the Christ!
Daily Key Verses:
WEEK 2|January 8-14
Weekly Thought:
You will read the second Gospel (Mark) and several of the Epistles, or letters. Keep in mind that each letter was originally written to a different audience and was trying to communicate a different point. For example, James was written to Jewish Believers who had gone too far with ignoring the law of God, while Galatians was written to Gentile converts who were being told that they needed to adhere to the Jewish law. There is strong language in both letters and both letters are completely true for us today.
Daily Key Verses:
WEEK 3|January 15-21
Weekly Thought:
Luke 7:50 - Your faith has saved you. The Gospels are a testimony of the "new way" of faith rather than works. Every other religion in the world requires you to earn favor with God except Christianity. Jesus loves us and forgives us because of our belief in Him and through His grace - this is truly good news! Obviously, this theme is highlighted in the Gospel of Luke but look for the same truth in each of the Epistles this week. The entire Bible is ultimately a testimony about Christ.
Daily Key Verses:
WEEK 4| January 22-29
Weekly Thought:
Often when we’re reading the Scriptures we can get very caught up focusing on what the Scriptures are telling us to do, or we’re trying to find answers to our questions. During this week, take the opportunity to focus on what the Scriptures are saying about God. In John Jesus is described as a reigning king with authority and power and in Revelation you will see that Jesus is the Beginning and the end of all things.
