Bible Reading Plan An Overview

RiverLife Bible Reading Plan

An Overview The mark of a growing disciple is the discipline to self-feed. During this unprecedented time,

the Lord is redirecting His people to pause and rediscover Him and His ways afresh. This is the heart behind our Bible Reading Plan - that we, as a church will mature in loving Him and

allowing His Spirit to move us in obeying His Word in our lives.

We pray that as you carve out unhurried time to encounter God, you will revitalise your spiritual life and encourage others to experience likewise!

Duration 20 April – 31 December

Books & Passages Covered In alignment with our sermon series this year, the Bible Reading Plan is focused on two main books – Nehemiah and 1 Peter. Whilst reading through these two books, we will also go into

other related books and passages in the Bible where the various themes are dealt with in Nehemiah and 1 Peter. The final segment of the reading plan will focus on the life of Christ.

• Discipleship • Doubt • Grief • Suffering

Word.
