Have you always wanted to read through the whole Bible? Do you struggle to find time for regular Bible study? This page contains a number of ideas, ranging from a reading plan, podcasts and mobile phone apps.
Click here for a Bible reading scheme that enables you to read the whole Bible at your own pace.
Depending on how much time you have, you can read the whole Old Testament in a year and the New Testament in six months. If you have less time, you can choose a more manageable pace. Just follow the instructions on the printable PDF.
DA Carson has written an excellent two-volume companion to this Bible reading scheme, which is already used by several people in church. The daily notes are available free of charge on The Gospel Coalition website - click here for a direct link to the notes. Alternatively, you can buy the books at various bookshops including Amazon and Eden Christian Books (at the time of writing, Eden were the cheapest!).
The notice sheet (always available on the News page) will now have daily readings alongside each day on the diary page to help you follow the full plan.
If you don't have your own Bible, please ask a member of the ministry team.
Maybe you spend too much time driving, walking, in the kitchen or in the gym? Here's some links to Bible reading podcasts and mobile phone apps - most are free and well worth trying.
