There are many schedules you could use to read the entire Bible. This Bible Reading/Listening Schedule provides chapters from the Old and New Testament for 5 days per week. This leaves Saturdays available for catching up in the event of missed reading, for deeper study of reading from the week, or other forms of reflection on what has been read, and Sundays for Church attendance.
You can download the 2023 PDF file and use it as a guide.
You can download the 2024 PDF file and use it as a guide.
You may choose to follow this schedule by reading your own copy of the King James Bible, by listening to the Audio Bible available here, or you can use mixed methods from day to day.
No matter what method you decide to use, if you follow this schedule, you will be able to study the entire Bible by the end of the year.
PLEASE NOTE: The books of Psalms and of Jeremiah are purposefully organized in the reading order displayed, and are not a typographical error.
Being in the Word daily and spending time in prayer is a spiritual discipline. Our flesh and human appetites would rather do just about anything other than read the Bible and think deeply on its truths. Although discipline is not easy, it is necessary. You may ask why it is so very important to spend time in the Word of God each day:
THE WORD OF GOD IS INSPIRED - 2 Timothy 3:16
The Greek phrase employed here describes how the wind moves a ship along. In the way the wind moves a sailing vessel, the Spirit of God moved men of God and guided them in writing Scripture. Nothing should be more important than filling our minds with inspired, God-breathed truth every day.THE WORD OF GOD IS INERRANT - Proverbs 30:5
The Word of God contains no errors because the God of the Word can make no errors. God is true. He cannot lie, so He will not lie and He has not lied. Every Word of the Bible is vital truth for our lives.THE WORD OF GOD IS INFALLIBLE - Psalm 119:140
Infallible means "incapable of error." Not only is the Bible free of errors, it is incapable of any error. Have you ever read a newspaper and seen countless errors? That is because the author is capable of making errors. The Word is God-breathed and it is pure and perfect, incapable of any error.THE WORD OF GOD IS COMPLETE - Deuteronomy 4:2
You do not need to dream dreams or see visions.You do not need voices in the night to hear from God. Everything He means to say to humanity is recorded in the words on the pages of the Bible. All we need to do is read them, absorb them, and obey them.THE WORD OF GOD IS SUFFICIENT - 2 Peter 1:3
Not only is Scripture complete, it is sufficient for everything we need. There is no need in life that is not addressed in the Bible. There is no relevant question that goes unanswered. Everything we need to live this life, in service to the Lord, is found in the Scriptures.THE WORD OF GOD IS EFFECTIVE - Isaiah 55:11
When sharing God's Word with someone, you do not need to fret or worry about if you have clearly explained what it says. You see, the power is not in you or your eloquent speaking skills, but in the Word itself.
