Living Faith's Reading Plan
As found in the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, we at Living Faith believe “The Holy Scripture is the only sufficient, certain, and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith, and obedience”. We are commanded to learn the scriptures (Col 3:16), to grow in the knowledge of the Lord (2 Peter 3:18), meditate on the scriptures (Josh 1:8), and teach our children the Scripture (Deut 11:18-19).
We began reading the Bible together in 2020 and have no plans of stopping now! We hope you will join us in 2025 as we read together!

About the 2026 plan:
We will be reading the Bible in a year in Chronological order.
Q: What is a chronological plan?
A: The chronological Bible plan has you read the Bible in order in which the events take place, rather than cover-to-cover. The benefit of reading chronologically is that the narrative becomes easier to follow. The chronological layout gives further clarity to the Bible as it makes sense of the Israelite’s journey, the prophets, the Psalms, and the books that cover the same time frames. Flipping around your Bible might feel strange at first, but the plan really does come together!
Q: What is the schedule of this plan?
A: This plan will have readings every day, taking 10-15 minutes to read or listen to.
Q: How can I follow the plan?
A: We will distribute paper plans (with handy little check boxes), and you can find the plan on Dwell. You can also download it and print it at home (double sided, print on short edge). We will also post the weekly schedule on social media.
Q: What if I fall behind?
A: You can try to catch up, or just jump back in! The main goal of the plan is to read the Bible in its entirety, but the second goal is to read it together. If you miss some days, it’s no reason to give up!
Q: What if I don’t understand something?
A: The elders are prepared to tackle your questions! The Bible is inexhaustible, and we will all struggle to understand things, so you can ask your questions and/or start conversation on Slack!
Q: Why should I read the whole Bible every year?
A: If you start this year, imagine how many times you will read the whole Bible in your lifetime! There is obvious value in doing deep studies of individual books of the Bible, but your studies take will deeper root as your knowledge of the whole Bible grows.
