Chronological Bible 2025
This year our church has been reading through the Chronological Bible together. On September 24, we enter the final stretch of our Chronological Bible journey and turn the page to the New Testament—the life, ministry, and message of Jesus! Whether you’ve fallen behind or have yet to get started, now is the perfect time to jump in. This isn’t just about checking a box—it’s about meeting with God, hearing from Him, and letting His Word reshape your hearts.
Let’s finish strong—anchored in God’s Word, abiding in Christ, and eager to hear what God wants to say! Go to the Bookstore to purchase your own copy of the Chronological Bible, or you can find a free reading plan online or at the Resource Centers.
A guide for every day’s reading
To help you through the journey of reading through the Bible in a year, Bellevue is producing a daily podcast and YouTube series to break down important messages from each day’s reading. The Chronological Bible Journey podcast features members of Bellevue’s staff discussing and elaborating on the themes we see throughout Scripture so you can better understand the whole story of God’s Word from Genesis to Revelation.

Reading the Bible changes you
“Before reading through the Bible chronologically for the first time, I didn’t fully know the depth that I could trust in the God I had put my faith in.”
Ashley grew up going to church and knew the Lord, but it wasn’t until she started to read the Bible each day that her faith began growing exponentially. Read more about her story below.
