Are you wanting to get close to God but you don't know where to begin? We all know that reading our Bible is a huge part of our faith and that God’s word has the answers to our life questions- big & small! So let’s get started.

There are so many ways to read His word and here are some ways that I’ve done it over the years.

1. Beginning to End

   You can never go wrong with opening that new Bible right at Genesis. Make your way through each book and don’t forget to keep a journal and jot down your favorite scriptures.

2. Topical

   Have you ever felt like you needed more clarity on a topic? Maybe you feel like you have a lot of questions. Choose a topic and find scripture that touch on that subject and go from there.

3. Psalms & Proverbs

   Sometimes when you first start reading the Bible it can feel overwhelming. Starting right in the middle of the Bible with worship and wisdom is always a great place to start.

4. Gospels

   If you want to know more about Jesus and what He did while He was here, reading more about this “GOOD NEWS” is always an awesome way to understand our redeemer. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, tell Jesus story from His birth, death, and His resurrection.

5. Bible App/ Reading Plan/Devotional Book

   Downloading the Bible App right to your phone and getting started on a plan is a great way to get started. Once you download the app, you will find a ton of reading plans! You can also follow along with a devotional book and have your Bible ready to dive in deeper into scripture.

I’d love to hear how you read the Bible!
