The Bible is God’s Word for all people for all time, but it’s a big book and could seem overwhelming. So where and how should you dive in? The 260 Journal will help you make the leap into Scripture and take you deeper than you may have thought possible. While the entire Bible is important for believers, the New Testament is the foundational text for those who are growing as followers of Jesus. That’s where we’ll be reading together as a church in 2024. Join us by clicking the button below to download the 260 Reading Plan.

The 260 plan is to read just one chapter a day, Monday-Friday. By doing this you’ll complete the entire New Testament in one year. While the 260 plan will help you become a consistent Bible Reader, the 260 Journal will take you even deeper.
By journaling your way through the New Testament, you’ll find yourself engaging with God’s Word in ways that will strengthen your faith. This journaling model makes this easy by prompting you with just two words: insights and implications. By capturing what God is calling to your attention and why, you’ll be on your way to growing spiritually in new and transforming ways.

Why Journal?
Insights | Implications | Intercession | Interaction
Reading the Bible is an important practice for followers of Jesus — but it’s never meant to be just about checking off boxes on a schedule. It’s meant to lead to life transformation as we grow in our faith and become more like Jesus. Journaling helps us clarify and organize our thoughts, and writing moves ideas from short-term to long-term memory. It’s a way to capture important thoughts we can return to later, and perhaps share those thoughts with others. Plus, journaling helps move us toward action as we tend to do what we write down.
INSIGHTS
What is God showing you?
What grabbed your attention? Look for God’s promises and truths that seem to jump off the page as you read.
IMPLICATIONS
This answers the question, “So What?”
What impact will these insights have on your life? How is Jesus calling you to become more like Him or challenging you to take a new step of faith?
INTERCESSION
Turn what you’re learning into prayer.
Ask God for the courage and strength to put His Word into practice — then do it!
INTERACTION
Find someone you can talk with.
Talk to people about what God is showing you. Better yet, meet with others who are following the plan and share what you are learning.
