An Introduction to the Gospel

This reading plan is meant to introduce people to the Gospel and help them begin a lifelong habit of reading Scripture. I recommend using the SOAP reading method to help guide your thoughts, questions, and prayers as you read each passage. May the Lord bless you as you begin this journey.

You may also find this resource helpful for beginning a consistent devotional time.
