Get The Bible App   Detailed Sign-Up Instructions

Starting January 1, 2026, our whole church is reading through the Bible together—and we’d love for you to be part of it! 

Checklist to Start Plan: 

  1. Download the App.
  2. Set “Seven Rivers Church” as your church.
  3. Connect with friend(s) you want to do the plan with on the App.
  4. Choose your plan (OT+NT or just NT+Ps/Prov/) on the App.
  5. Set start date of January 1, 2026.

TIPS For Using the App:

  1. Start on January 1 with your group.
  2. After click on passage, choose your version at the top (NLT or NIV are more readable versions). Example
  3. You can listen to it by pressing the speaker icon (can speed it up to like 1.25xs). Example
  4. You can comment for your group in the “Talk it Over” each day to encourage each other with something you read.
  5. I highly recommend watching the Bible Project video over each book (Click on circle with 3 dots, press “Related Content,” and then look for the “Bible Project” Videos). Example

Not using the App? Download PDFs to print.

TIPS For Reading Each Day:

  1. Set a time and a place each day you're going to read.
  2. Apply the “Scripture before phone” principle = Commit to read the daily passages before you look at anything else on your phone that day.
  3. If you miss a day or fall behind, show yourself grace and just starting again on the current day.
  4. Pray for one “gospel-nugget” to take away with you from the day. This could be something beautiful about God’s character or his grace, the person of Jesus or his work on your behalf, etc. 

To go deeper, ask 5 questions about what the passage reveals about:

  1. Who is God? (Father, Son or Spirit)
  2. What does God call me to do? (Commands, exhortations)
  3. Who am I? (Sin/weakness/fragility of humanity)
  4. Where is God’s grace? (His character, His kindness, His promises, His Son’s work on the cross)
  5. How should I respond or apply this to my life? (My loves, beliefs, behaviors, relationships, etc.)
