2026 Reading Plan & Memory Verses

Reading Plan for 2026
Our reading plan for 2026 will continue through the OT narrative of God’s chosen people as God honors His covenant by blessing them and building them into a sovereign nation.  Like all of God’s covenants, God promises blessing for obedience and punishment for disobedience. The children of Isreal were punished by losing their independence many times.  They were finally exiled thereby losing much of their individual tribal identity (II Kings 25; II Chronicles 36).  Even to this day, we know them as the children of Isreal; as opposed to ones from the tribe of Rueben, Simeon, Levi, etc. God restored them to Jerusalem (Ezra, Nehemiah) but never restored their national independence. 
We will then pick up in the NT with Luke and Acts, God’s chosen people under Roman rule. This narrative will trace the incarnation of Jesus, His ministry, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension. We will trace through the narrative and birth of the early church.  We will see God’s hand upon both the Jews and Gentiles. The Gentiles being blessed through God’s chosen people with Christ.

We will next read through the epistles that were written, primarily to the Jews (1&2 Peter, Hebrews), followed by Pauline letters written to the Gentiles (Romans, et al).  All contain rich salvation theology.
