Connecting with Christ Yearly Bible Readings
Do you want to experience a daily connection with Christ in your life? Do you want to have the Holy Spirit remake your heart as you draw near to God through His Living Word? This "Connecting with Christ" Bible Reading Schedule provides a pathway to finding God's presence daily. Choose to read one or two chapters daily to fit into your available time to study the Word of God. These selected Bible Readings are set up with readings for 5 days a week, with 1 or 2 readings a day with two days off for reflection.
How the Reading Plan Works
You will read through the New Testament in a year by reading the chapter in the first column five days a week. If you also read the chapter in the second column each day you will also read the entire New Testament plus the book of Psalms, Joel, and Habakkuk in the upcoming year in addition to many other pertinent chapters in the Old Testament.
The Old Testament Readings are designed to connect you in some way with the fulfillment of Jesus Christ as the Messiah and with the Holy Spirit working in your life to make you a new creation in Christ. May the Lord bless you as you read the Living Word!
Many hours of study and development by Sharon my wife and myself, were put into this Bible Reading Plan to connect the reader to Christ through the reading of the Word of God. Printed copies of this plan are available free of charge, by requesting them through this website or by emailing Pastor Steve Maas at pastorsteve116@yahoo.com at any time. The download for the Bible Reading Plan booklet can be found on a "Devotion" post on this website — Connecting with Christ, Yearly Bible Reading 2026.
