Bible First is a quiet, beautifully designed place to study God's Word — and keep it at the center of your day. Explore 224 guided studies across sixteen pathways into Scripture, highlight the verses that speak to you, keep private notes, and pray through it all in a built-in prayer journal. 224 STUDIES ACROSS SIXTEEN PATHWAYS • Biblical Topics • Jesus' Parables • Jesus' Teachings • The Ten Commandments • Proof of the Bible • The Psalms • Key Figures • Prayers of the Bible • The Gospels • Letters of Paul • Great Testimonies • Miracles of Jesus • Women of the Bible • The Prophets • Old Testament Stories • Names of God SCRIPTURE FIRST Every study opens with the passage itself, so God's Word comes before commentary. Psalms, parables, and longer passages flow as cohesive, easy-to-read Scripture — followed by clear reflection and context. HIGHLIGHT, NOTE & FAVORITE Highlight the verses that matter, jot personal notes as you read, and bookmark any study with a tap for quick return during devotions or group discussion. A PRAYER JOURNAL Keep your prayers in one private place. Add who and what you're praying for, organize with tags, mark prayers as answered, and watch a simple record of your faithfulness grow over time.
