ONE YEAR BIBLE
Daily devotions train us to think differently and transform the spirit of our minds.
As we read God’s Word, we begin to see how God responds to things. Then, when we face similar situations, we begin to respond in the same way. Here is our church Bible reading plan. We will be following the One Year Bible reading plan that will enable us to read the entire Bible in just 15 minutes a day throughout the year.
DAILY GUIDES
Every year we read the One Year Bible reading plan on YouVersion. Here are a variety of options to our reading plan:

JOURNALING
Journaling is an excellent way to record and process what God has spoken to us. Without writing it down, you may forget those blessings and some very important lessons! While journaling is a very personal time with the Lord, you may want to share some of your daily journaling with your Small Group or mentors. Through discussion, you may be able to look deeper into what God is speaking to you, gain new insight and even encourage others. Click HERE for a worksheet to aid you in your journaling process.
SOAP is an acronym: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer. While doing this, write your thoughts down in a journal. Journaling is an excellent way to record and process what God has spoken to us. Without writing our experiences down, you may forget those blessings and some very important lessons! This is something we recommend adding to our church Bible reading plan.
SCRIPTURE
Take your time reading each chapter and allow God to speak to you. Look for a verse that particularly spoke to you and write it in your journal.
OBSERVATION
What do you think God is saying to you in this scripture? Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and reveal Jesus to you. Paraphrase and write this scripture down in your own words in your journal.
APPLICATION
Personalize what you have read, by asking yourself how it applies to your life right now. Write how this scripture can apply to you today.
PRAYER
This can be as simple as asking God to help you use this scripture, or it may be a greater insight on what He may be revealing to you. Remember, prayer is a two-way conversation, so be sure to listen to what God has to say and journal about it
