Day 274 | John 5:1-47; Mark 2:23-28; Matthew 12:1-8; Luke 6:1-5; Mark 3:1-6; Matthew 12:9-14; Luke 6:6-11; Matthew 12:15-21In today’s reading, Jesus clashes with the Pharisees over what it means to keep the Sabbath. The religious leaders had turned God’s gift of rest into a burden of endless rules, but Jesus revealed the true heart of God’s law. He healed the broken, defended His disciples, and declared Himself Lord of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was never meant to crush people with restrictions—it was given by God to bring life, mercy, and rest.Hosts: Michael Pritchard, Noah SidhomVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 273 | Luke 5:1-11; Mark 1:40-45; Matthew 8:1-4; Luke 5:12-16; Mark 2:1-12; Matthew 9:1-8; Luke 5:17-26; Mark 2:13-17; Matthew 9:9-13; Luke 5:27-32; Mark 2:18-22; Matthew 9:14-17; Luke 5:33-39At the miraculous catch of fish, Simon Peter falls to his knees, overwhelmed by the holiness of Jesus. The fishermen leave everything to follow Him, exchanging their nets for a new calling as fishers of men. As the gospels unfold, Jesus demonstrates His deity—receiving worship, healing the sick, commanding creation, and even forgiving sins. These signs confirm that He is not just a teacher but God in the flesh, the only One able to bear our sins and give us new life.Hosts: Michael Pritchard, Ben TaylorVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 272 | Mark 1:14-15; Matthew 4:12-17; Luke 3:23a; John 4:46-54; Luke 4:16-30; Mark 1:16-20; Matthew 4:18-22; Mark 1:21-28; Luke 4:31-37; Mark 1:29-34; Matthew 8:14-17; Luke 4:38-41; Mark 1:35-39; Luke 4:42-44; Matthew 4:23-25As Jesus begins His ministry, He proclaims the good news: “The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe.” He calls ordinary fishermen to follow Him and become fishers of men, modeling what it means to leave everything behind for the sake of the gospel. Jesus demonstrates His authority not only through His preaching but also by casting out an unclean spirit, showing that even demons must obey Him. These powerful moments remind us that following Christ means repentance, faith, and sharing His message with others.Hosts: Derek Ewalt, Tanya FranksVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 271 | John 3:1–4:45; Luke 3:19-20As John the Baptist’s disciples notice crowds shifting to Jesus, they express concern over losing influence. But John responds with humility: “He must become greater, and I must become less.” This pivotal moment shows John’s willingness to step out of the spotlight and exalt Christ above himself. His example challenges us to lay down pride, resist the pull of jealousy, and remember that the gospel is not about us but about Jesus alone.Hosts: Tanya Franks, Michael PritchardVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 270 | Mark 1:12-13; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-15; John 1:19–2:25Right after His baptism, Jesus is led by the Spirit into the wilderness to face forty days of temptation from the devil. Hungry, weary, and tested in every way, He resists Satan’s schemes—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—by standing firm on the Word of God. Unlike Adam and Eve in the garden, Jesus overcomes each test, remaining without sin. His victory shows us that temptation itself is not sin, and through the same Spirit and the Word, we too can stand strong when trials come.Hosts: Ben Taylor, Noah SidhomVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 269 | Matthew 2:1-23; Luke 2:41-52; Mark 1:1b-8; Matthew 3:1-12; Luke 3:1-18; Mark 1:9-11; Matthew 3:13-17; Luke 3:21-22The wise men worship the newborn King, Herod rages in jealousy, and Jesus amazes the teachers in the temple at age twelve. But as John the Baptist appears in the wilderness, a single word takes center stage: repent. From John’s preaching to Jesus’ own ministry, to the apostles after His resurrection, the gospel begins with repentance. God calls His people not only to confess sin but to turn from it, proving transformed lives by the good they do. The same call reaches us today: repent and turn to God.Hosts: Michael Pritchard, Derek EwaltVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 268 | Luke 1:39-80; Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 2:1-40After centuries of prophecy and expectation, the promise is fulfilled—the Savior is born. Mary visits Elizabeth, and John leaps in the womb, confirming God’s hand at work. Mary sings a song of praise, Zechariah prophesies about the Messiah, and at last Jesus is born in Bethlehem, conceived by the Holy Spirit, without sin. Angels announce the good news to shepherds, while Simeon and Anna recognize the Redeemer in the temple. God proves once again that He is a promise-keeper, sending His Son at just the right time.Hosts: Noah Sidhom, Tanya FranksVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 267 | Mark 1:1a; Luke 1:1-4; John 1:1-18; Matthew 1:1-17; Luke 3:23b-38; Luke 1:5-38After 400 years of silence, God speaks again through the angel Gabriel—first to Zechariah in the temple, promising a son who would prepare the way for the Lord, and then to Mary, announcing the miraculous birth of Jesus, the promised Messiah. Zechariah doubts, while Mary responds with wonder and faith, showing us the choice each of us has when God moves at the perfect time.Hosts: Ben Taylor, Michael PritchardVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 266 | Malachi 2:10–4:6; Joel 1:1–3:21With Joel’s prophecy, the Old Testament closes not in despair but with hope. God calls His people to true repentance—hearts torn, not garments—and promises restoration and the outpouring of His Spirit on all people. Malachi delivers the final warning, and then comes 400 years of silence. Yet in that silence, God is at work: kingdoms rise and fall, languages and roads are prepared, and a deep hunger for His Word grows. The stage is set for the Messiah to come and for the silence to be broken by the cry of a baby.Hosts: Tanya Franks, Noah SidhomVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 265 | Nehemiah 12:27–13:6; Nehemiah 5:14-19; Nehemiah 13:7-31; Malachi 1:1–2:9After celebrating the dedication of Jerusalem’s rebuilt walls with joy that could be heard far away, the people quickly drift from God’s commands. In Nehemiah’s absence, they break the Sabbath, intermarry with pagan nations, and offer crippled, blind animals on God’s altar. Malachi rebukes priests and people alike for their corruption, reminding them—and us—that God deserves our best. These chapters reveal how easily hearts wander, and why God calls His people back to covenant faithfulness.Hosts: Noah Sidhom, Ben TaylorVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 264 | Nehemiah 11:1–12:26; 1 Chronicles 9:1b-34After the walls of Jerusalem were rebuilt, the city still needed people to fill it. Nehemiah records how the leaders settled in the city, a tenth of the people were chosen by lot to move in, and others volunteered willingly. These names remind us that God’s Word is rooted in real people and real history. The blessing given to those who chose to resettle shows the Lord’s delight in willing obedience. Just as the people of old chose to make Jerusalem their home, we too are invited to choose daily to walk with the Lord and look forward to the new Jerusalem He has prepared.Hosts: Michael Pritchard, Derek EwaltVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 263 | Nehemiah 8:13–10:39After completing the wall, God’s people turn their attention to rebuilding spiritually. They rediscover the Festival of Shelters, obey God’s Word, and are filled with joy. Soon after, they gather again for a day of confession and worship, standing for hours to hear Scripture and then praying through their entire history with the Lord. Remembering God’s mercy and faithfulness, they renew their covenant to follow Him. These chapters reveal that true joy and strength come from obedience, repentance, and walking in covenant with God.Hosts: Noah Sidhom, Michael PritchardVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 262 | Nehemiah 7:4–8:12After years in exile, God’s people return to Jerusalem and gather with one purpose: to hear the Word of the Lord. Ezra opens the Book of the Law, and the people rise in reverence, listening attentively for hours as God’s Word is read and explained. Their hearts are pierced, and they weep in repentance—but Nehemiah and Ezra remind them that this is a holy day, a day to rejoice. The people are called to celebrate, for the joy of the Lord is their strength.Hosts: Tanya Franks, Ben TaylorVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 261 | Nehemiah 3:1–7:3When Nehemiah hears of Jerusalem’s broken walls, he mourns, prays, and seeks God’s direction. Sent by the king, he organizes the people to rebuild. Though mocked, threatened, and opposed at every turn, Nehemiah keeps pointing the workers back to the Lord. With prayer, planning, and perseverance, the wall is rebuilt in only 52 days. This powerful account shows how God equips His people to lead with courage, overcome opposition, and finish the work He calls them to.Hosts: Ben Taylor, Tanya FranksVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 260 | Ezra 9:1–10:44; Nehemiah 1:1–2:20Ezra returns to Jerusalem and discovers that many of God’s people have intermarried with the surrounding nations, leading their hearts away from the Lord. Grieved and horrified, he falls before God in prayer, confessing the sin of the nation and pleading for mercy. In response, the people repent, acknowledging their disobedience and turning back to God. This chapter reveals both the seriousness of sin and the hope of God’s restoring grace for a repentant people.Hosts: Derek Ewalt, Noah SidhomVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 259 | Ezra 4:7-23; Ezra 7:1–8:36Ezra leads the second wave of exiles back to Jerusalem, not to rebuild the temple but to restore worship. Scripture describes him as a man who devoted himself to study, obey, and teach God’s Word, and because of this the gracious hand of the Lord was on him. Even a pagan king gave Ezra everything he needed to strengthen worship in the land. Ezra’s example reminds us that ordinary people can have extraordinary influence when they faithfully live out God’s Word.Hosts: Michael Pritchard, Tanya FranksVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 258 | Esther 5:1–10:3As Esther and the Jews fast and pray for deliverance, God is already working behind the scenes. On the very night Haman plots Mordecai’s death, King Xerxes remembers Mordecai’s past loyalty and orders him to be honored instead. What seemed impossible is turned upside down, showing the unseen providence of God at work. Just as in Esther’s day, the Lord still hears our prayers and moves in ways we could never arrange ourselves.Hosts: Michael Pritchard, Noah SidhomVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 257 | Ezra 6:14b-22; Ezra 4:6; Esther 1:1–4:17With the temple finally completed and dedicated in Jerusalem, God’s faithfulness to His promises is on full display. Yet even as some rejoice, many Jews remain in exile under Persian rule. In the book of Esther, God’s name is never mentioned, but His providence is evident throughout. Esther is placed in the palace at just the right moment, called to risk her life to intercede for her people. Though the enemy seeks to destroy, God is sovereign, and He raises up deliverance in His perfect time.Hosts: Tanya Franks, Ben TaylorVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 256 | Zechariah 9:1–14:21Zechariah points far beyond the return from exile, prophesying the coming King who would ride humbly into Jerusalem on a donkey—and later return in glory to reign over all nations. He foretells a shepherd rejected by His people, yet promises a fountain opened to cleanse sin and impurity. In the end, the Lord Himself will stand on the Mount of Olives, bringing peace, restoration, and eternal hope. These visions remind us that while judgment is real, God’s heart is always to restore, and Jesus is coming soon.Hosts: Ben Taylor, Tanya FranksVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
Day 255 | Zechariah 6:1-15; Ezra 5:3–6:14a; Zechariah 7:1–8:23As God’s people rebuild the temple, opposition arises from local officials who question their authority and seek to halt the work. But the Lord turns the situation around when King Darius commands them not only to stop interfering but also to fund the project from royal taxes. At the same time, through Zechariah, God assures His people that what looks impossible will one day be a city full of peace, where the young play and the old walk in safety. The Lord reminds His people—and us—“Be strong and finish the task.”Hosts: Ben Taylor, Michael PritchardVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
