New Believers Bible Reading Plan
50 Days
When:
• Morning or Evening: Jesus and the psalmists are often found praying in the morning
(e.g., Psalm 5:3; Luke 4:42). The evenings less so, but choose a time when you
are at your best and most attentive.
• Lunch Break: If you have time during your workday to read during your lunch or
another break, this might be a perfect way to spend your time.
• Anytime: Some of you may have such busy lives that you need to fit it in whenever
you can. This is totally normal! Make sure that whatever time you decide to read
your Bible that you are in a place where you can focus and reflect on God’s
Word.
What:
• Study Bible: We recommend the NIV Life Application or NIV Study Bible. If you want
to get even more in-depth, look at some of the commentaries in the NIV
Application Commentary Series.
• Bible Reading Plan: Choose a plan and work the plan. If you miss some days, do not
try to catch up. Simply pick up where you left off.
• Journal: We recommend using a simple journal that’s easy to use. You can find these
at just about any store, especially bookstores or online.
• Pen: To take notes within your Bible or a journal.
How:
• Pray: Ask God to speak to you through his Word. And then expect God to speak. Your
approach to God’s Word will greatly impact your times of personal worship. Ask
God to search your heart and to transform your life.
• Read: Mark up your Bible as you read. If you have an interpretive question, use the
study Bible notes to explore answers. It may be helpful to join a Women’s or
Men’s Bible study to get further direction by your peers and leaders in the church.
• Journal (try to limit it to one page per day to start): Start a new page and record the
date and Scripture you read on the top line. Write down a verse or two that stood
out to you, word-for-word. Stay focused on what God is saying through his Word
that intersects with your everyday life. This is not about speculation, private
interpretations or manipulating God’s Word to say what you want it to say. This is
about bringing Christ to your everyday life based on the truth of God’s Word
rightly interpreted.
If you have any further questions about studying your bible or finding resources that are
right for you, please contact us at nextsteps@shorelinechurch.org for more information.
