Resources · 30-Day Plan
New Believer's Bible Reading Plan — A free 30-day daily devotional from The Grove Fellowship.
Thirty days. One short reading, one honest reflection, one prayer. No jargon. Whether you just said yes to Jesus or you're starting fresh after a long detour — start here.
How to use this plan
- Read the passage. Open a Bible app or use a free one like YouVersion.
- Sit with the reflection for a minute. Don't skim.
- Pray the prayer — or your own version of it. Out loud is fine.
- Check the day off. Come back tomorrow.
The Plan
Day 1
In The Beginning
Genesis 1:1–31
Before anything else existed, God did. The story doesn't start with you — and that's actually good news. You were made on purpose, by a God who calls His work good.
PrayGod, help me see today through Your eyes — that everything starts with You.
Day 2
What Went Wrong
Genesis 3:1–24
Sin isn't just rule-breaking. It's broken trust. Everything we feel wrong about the world traces back here — and so does the first promise of a Rescuer.
PrayFather, show me where I've trusted my own voice over Yours.
Day 3
A People Called Out
Genesis 12:1–9
God's plan to fix the world started with one ordinary man saying yes. He's still doing that.
PrayLord, give me the courage to follow when I can't see the whole path.
Day 4
Rescued
Exodus 14:10–31
God doesn't just sympathize with people stuck in slavery. He splits seas. He still does the impossible for people who can't save themselves.
PrayJesus, I can't save myself. Make a way where there isn't one.
Day 5
The Shepherd Psalm
Psalm 23
Six short verses that have carried more people through more dark valleys than almost any other words ever written. Read it slow.
PrayShepherd, lead me. I'll follow.
Day 6
A Clean Heart
Psalm 51
David blew it badly and still ran back to God. The path forward isn't pretending you're fine — it's honesty.
PrayCreate in me a clean heart, God. I'm tired of hiding.
Day 7
The Promise of a King
Isaiah 9:1–7
Seven hundred years before Jesus was born, this was already on the page. God keeps His promises — even the long ones.
PrayPrince of Peace, reign in the parts of me that aren't peaceful yet.
Day 8
Jesus Arrives
Luke 2:1–20
God didn't enter the world in a palace. He came as a baby in a feeding trough — accessible, vulnerable, on purpose.
PrayJesus, thank You for coming close.
Day 9
The Sermon Begins
Matthew 5:1–16
Jesus flips the script on who's actually blessed. Spoiler: it's not who the world says.
PrayLord, teach me to see Your kingdom the way You see it.
Day 10
How To Pray
Matthew 6:5–15
Prayer isn't performance. It's a kid talking to a Father.
PrayOur Father — teach me how to actually talk to You.
Day 11
Don't Worry
Matthew 6:25–34
Worry is a habit. Jesus offers a better one: trust, one day at a time.
PrayGod, today's enough for today. Help me leave tomorrow with You.
Day 12
The Lost Found
Luke 15:11–32
The Father runs. That's the picture. Whatever you've done, He's already running.
PrayFather, thank You for running toward me.
Day 13
Born Again
John 3:1–21
Religion can't fix you. Only new life can. And only Jesus gives it.
PrayJesus, make me new — not improved, new.
Day 14
Living Water
John 4:1–26
Jesus crossed every social line to reach one woman who was thirsty for something real. He'll do the same for you.
PrayLord, satisfy the thirst I keep trying to fill with everything else.
Day 15
The Good Shepherd
John 10:1–18
Hired hands run. The Shepherd lays His life down. Know the difference.
PrayGood Shepherd, I trust Your voice.
Day 16
The Cross
Luke 23:32–49
This is the hinge of history. Don't rush past it.
PrayJesus, thank You. I don't have better words than that.
Day 17
He Is Risen
Luke 24:1–12
If the tomb isn't empty, nothing else matters. Because it is, everything does.
PrayRisen Jesus, give me the boldness of an empty-tomb faith.
Day 18
The Spirit Comes
Acts 2:1–21
God didn't leave us to figure it out alone. He sent His Spirit to live inside His people.
PrayHoly Spirit, fill me. Lead me. Don't let me fake this.
Day 19
Saul Meets Jesus
Acts 9:1–22
Nobody is too far gone. The chief persecutor became the chief missionary.
PrayJesus, do whatever it takes to make me Yours.
Day 20
Nothing Can Separate Us
Romans 8:18–39
Read this twice. Underline things. This chapter has held more wrecked people together than any therapy.
PrayFather, I am Yours. Nothing changes that.
Day 21
Saved By Grace
Ephesians 2:1–10
You can't earn it. You can't lose it. You can only receive it.
PrayThank You, God, for grace I didn't earn.
Day 22
The Mind of Christ
Philippians 2:1–11
Jesus had every right to demand. He chose to serve. That's the pattern.
PrayLord, give me Your humility — even when it costs me.
Day 23
Whatever Is True
Philippians 4:4–13
What you think about, you become. Aim higher.
PrayGod, retrain my mind toward what's true.
Day 24
The New You
Colossians 3:1–17
Following Jesus changes what you put on and what you put off. Both matter.
PrayJesus, clothe me with You today.
Day 25
Faith In Action
James 1:19–27
Real faith shows up in how you listen, how you speak, and how you treat people nobody's watching you treat.
PrayLord, make my faith real, not theoretical.
Day 26
Love One Another
1 John 4:7–21
You can't say you love God and hate people. The math doesn't work.
PrayFather, teach me to love like You love.
Day 27
The Greatest Love
1 Corinthians 13
Strip the wedding-day glow off this passage and read it as the real diagnostic it is.
PrayGod, make me patient. Make me kind. Make me Yours.
Day 28
Run The Race
Hebrews 12:1–3
You're not the first. A crowd of faithful people is cheering you on. Keep going.
PrayJesus, keep my eyes on You. That's it.
Day 29
He Is Making All Things New
Revelation 21:1–7
The story ends with a wedding, a city, and no more tears. Live like that's true — because it is.
PrayCome, Lord Jesus. Until then, use me.
Day 30
Go
Matthew 28:16–20
You weren't saved to sit. You were saved to send. Day 30 isn't the end. It's the start.
PrayJesus, I'm in. Send me.
What's Next
Finished the plan? Don't stop there.
The next step after reading is belonging. Come find a seat on Sunday — or talk to a real person about what God's doing in you.
