Bible Reading Plan: October 18-24

October 17th, 2026

We invite you to join us in reading through the Bible together. We're not trying to complete it in a limited time frame like a month or a year; but rather, we want to create a habit (or discipline) of getting to know God's heart through what He's told us about Himself.

Over the remainder of 2026, until Advent, we will be looking at a series, What is the church? The series will be divided into three parts, including the role of the pastor and the role of every believer.

When reading, ask yourself the following questions:

What does it say about God?
What does it say to/about me?
What can I learn from this reading?
