Topical Bible Reading Plans

Are you looking to spend time in God’s word regularly?

A Topical Bible Reading Plan can help you with this! Each plan covers a specific topic or theme and lays out a timetable–anywhere from ten to thirty days–for you to follow. In addition to helping you read God’s word every day, they are also perfect for scripture writing. Read more about The Benefits of Scripture Writing here.

These plans can be done on your own or with a group. All you have to do is choose one of the plans below and start when you are ready.

If you want to do a more in-depth bible study, these plans can be used as a guide; however, I recommend reading the entire paragraph or chapter so that you can gain a better understanding of what’s going on in the text. For example, instead of only reading Psalm 103:7-9, read & study the whole Psalm.
