2026 READING PLAN & HELPS
Published December 17, 2025

What are we reading together?
We will be reading through the foundational passages of the entire Bible this year, using the F260 Bible.
BTW, the F stands for Foundational and the 260 is how many days are in the plan.
That's 5 reading days plus a Scripture Memory challenge for each week!
Why read the Bible together, on the same plan?
- It’s good for our whole church family to join together in a spiritual task. It reminds us that we are not alone and also keeps us accountable to one another in this spiritual discipline.
- Reading together reinforces our church’s commitment to the Word.
- It can encourage more gospel-saturated Bible-centered conversations among our church family.
- Memorizing Scripture together - helps us all hide God's Word in our hearts.
Using the H.E.A.R. Journal Method
- HIGHLIGHT the verse from the day's reading.
- EXPLAIN the passage
- APPLY the verse to your life
- RESPOND to the text (write it out).
Using the DWELL Bible App
You’ve heard Pastor Chad speak of the Dwell app before. It’s a great way to listen through Scripture.
Mission Bible Church has a Dwell Account AND a Reading Plan set up for you to listen, too. You can listen while you read, you can listen in the car on a commute to supplement your reading. You can pick the voices, versions, backgrounds, etc. You’re going to love DWELL.
Let’s get in the Word so the Word can get into us!
Prayer is ESSENTIAL!
"I am convinced that a prayerless approach to God’s Word is a major reason for the low-level dissatisfaction that hums beneath the surface of our lives." (Smethurst)
Here are 2 articles I’ve found helpful to prayerfully get into your discipline of reading:
