Navigators 5 by 5 by 5 New Testament Bible Reading Plan

Read through the New Testament in five days a week, five minutes a day. LetŐs get started.

5 minutes a day.

If youŐre not used to reading the Bible daily, start with this easy to use tool to read a chapter of the New Testament in 5 minutes a day. This reading plan will take you through all 260 chapters of the New Testament, one chapter per day. The Gospels are read throughout the year to weave in the story of Christ all year long.

5 days a week.

Determine a time and location to spend 5 minutes a day for 5 days a week. It is best to have a consistent time and a quiet place where you can regularly meet with the Lord.

5 ways to dig deeper.

Pause in your reading to dig into the Bible. Below are 5 different ways to dig deeper each day. These exercises will encourage meditation. Try a single idea for a week to find what works best for you. Remember to keep a pen and paper ready to capture GodŐs insights.

1. Underline or highlight key words or phrases in the Bible passage. Use a pen or highlighter to mark new discoveries from the text.

2. Put it in your own words. Read the passage or verse slowly, then rewrite each phrase or sentence using your own words.

3. Ask and answer questions. Questions unlock new discoveries and meanings. Ask questions about the passage using these words: who, what, why, when, where, or how. Jot down your answers to these questions.

4. Capture the big idea. GodŐs Word communicates big ideas. Periodically ask: WhatŐs the big idea in this sentence, paragraph, or chapter?

5. Personalize the meaning. Respond as God speaks to you through the Scriptures. Ask: How could my life be different today as I respond to what IŐm reading?
