2 Kings 8:16

Begin your journey through 1 and 2 Kings with clarity. On the first day, you will read a guided introduction alongside the opening chapters of 1 Kings. It explains the rise and fall of Israel’s kings and how each nation’s future was shaped by faithfulness or disobedience to God. As you read, remember that these books are still being translated today so communities around the world can encounter God’s Word in the language they understand best. This plan offers a clear starting point as you read 1 and 2 Kings.

This is the thirteenth installment of a Bible reading plan following the lectionary pattern, offering daily readings from the Psalms, Old Testament, and New Testament. Each day includes a devotional primer to help prepare your heart and mind for a deeper, more meaningful encounter with Scripture. Additionally, as we commemorate the 1,700-year anniversary of the Nicene Creed this year, this plan provides a daily focus to help us understand and celebrate this foundational confession of our Christian faith.

1 Kings is all about Jesus! This 13-day plan will walk you through the book of 2 Kings by reading just a chapter or two a day. Each day is accompanied by a short devotional and video that explains what’s happening and shows you how each part of the story points to Jesus and his Gospel.
