The 2026 Bible Reading Plan

Join our church family as we walk through the Scriptures together this year. This intentionally paced plan offers a manageable daily selection of Old and New Testament readings alongside the Psalms — whether you're reading the Bible for the first time or the fiftieth.

Today — September 27, 2026

Rest & Reflect

Rest & Reflect — no assigned reading today. Take today to review, catch up, or simply sit with what you've read this week.

What should my daily reading look like?

A simple rhythm for reading, understanding, and applying God's Word.

Read the Word
  • Read the selected passage for today.
  • Read the sections before and after it to understand the context.
  • Look for repeated words, phrases, or ideas in the passage.
  • Read with the overall context of that book in mind.
Understand the Word
  • Who wrote it, and who was the original audience?
  • What type of literature is it — narrative, poetry, wisdom, psalm, prophecy, parable, gospel, or apocalyptic?
  • What was happening in their world when they heard this message, and how does that world differ from ours?
  • What part of the Bible's overall storyline does this passage highlight?
Apply the Word
  • How does this passage connect me with the hope and redemption found in the Gospel?
  • Does it address brokenness or instruct me to avoid sin? What sin?
  • Does it call for action? If so, what action?
  • Does it teach a truth about the nature and character of God the Father, Christ the Son, or the Holy Spirit?
  • Does it speak to me individually, to the people of God corporately, or both?
Now What?
  • What in my life should change as a response to this Biblical truth?
