2025 Madison Reading Plan
We’re reading books of Wisdom and the Epistles together in 2025. At an average of just over 3 chapters per week, we’ll have an opportunity to really slow down and soak in these words!
This reading material is heavily devotional. There are almost no difficult city names to pronounce and little reason for a map. Much of this reading will jump right from the page into your daily life without the need to analogize. Go slow, soak in God’s Word, and let it change your life!
Every three years at Madison Church we try to read the WHOLE Bible together in a year. We last completed that in 2024. In the two years between we read at a slower pace so that we can really focus on the words that we’re reading instead of trying to fly through the text at a pace of 22 chapters a week as is required to get it all done in a year. If you up for the Bible-in-a-year challenge, you can find that reading plan here, along with study notes for each week’s reading.
