Daily Bible Reading Plan, 2025 – Crossroads Church

Daily Bible Reading Plan

The daily habit of being in the Word is vital to our walk with Jesus. The goal, of course, is not to check a box; the goal is to allow Scripture to shape you, for the truth to transform you, and to spend time with God.

This reading plan is intended to give you a resource that gets you in the Bible on a regular basis. As we study through scripture together, we can use simple study practices to help us get even more out of our reading:

HEAR
When we read through Scripture, we want to go at a pace that allows it to read us. Below is a simple acronym that will help guide our time as we read Scripture and seek to live it out. Each day we will follow the pattern of HEAR.

H- Highlight
Read through the passage for the day. As you read, pay attention to what stands out. Maybe highlight or underline a word or phrase that catches your attention.

E – Examine it
Examine what the passage has to teach you. Study words and their root meaning, and/or study the context of the passage. Pay attention to the Holy Spirit’s prompting as you read and press into what you can learn from scripture.

A – Apply it
Ask yourself how you might apply what you have read to your day and ask the Holy Spirit what you should take away from the passage. Write down what you want to apply, or make note of it some other way.

R – Respond in prayer
Close your time by using scripture and what you have read to lead your prayer time. Invite the Lord to continue speaking to you through the day on what you’ve studied.

The Plan

This year, we have set it up for you to read through the entire Bible in a year. There are passages from the Old Testament and New Testament to read through. You can read both to read through the whole Bible in a year or just focus on the New or Old Testament.

[Note: The plan will be updated as the year progresses. Currently, the plan covers January through June 2025)
