2020 Bible Reading Plans (& More)
What has your ear?
“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17).
Reading well impacts how we perceive and understand the world around us and nothing merits our time and study more than the inspired Word of God. If you have resolved to grow in faith in this new year, daily Bible reading must surely be part of the plan.
Any serious study of Scripture is profitable and many are put off by highly structured Bible reading plans. Noted pastor Robert Murray M’Cheyne even published a list of dangers when sharing with his own congregation the Bible reading plan he authored for their use. However, there are great benefits to a prescribed plan for the daily study of Scripture.
Here are our recommendations for your consideration as you begin 2020 with a commitment grow as a student of the Word of God:
Read the Bible Initiative
This partnership between The Gospel Coalition and Crossway provides free access to the M’Cheyne Bible Reading plan, along with options to receive a daily newsletter, daily podcast commentary, and weekly access to online articles to support your understanding of the assigned texts.
PFWB Resources
The PFWB website contains a variety of resources for individual and corporate growth, including a Bible Reading Program and a daily Bible Reading Plan.
Audio Bibles & Apps
The science of learning suggests that reading in print is superior to electronic options for deep reading of complex material (here and here). But for some, reading portable electronic formats on the go is better than not reading at all (for sure!). For others, reading in any format just doesn’t come easy. Fortunately, there are great options for listening to the Word of God that can be used with the Bible reading plan of your choice. If you’re looking for a good audio Bible app, consider the following (listed in no particular order). Most have options that work on any computer or mobile device.
Dwell (audio only)
ESV Bible (Audio and daily reading plans, including the M’Cheyene plan, available within the mobile app.)
Above all, grow as a student of Scripture in 2020. Whether on paper or in print, following a daily reading plan or working through on your own, commit to dig deeply into the revealed Word of God.
God has spoken. Does He have your ear?
TONIGHT: Watch Night Service
Springfield PFWB Church is excited to welcome The Browns from Wallace, NC as featured ministers for this year’s Watch Night service. Please join us for a time of worship, testimony, & fellowship beginning at 9:00 pm. All are warmly welcomed. Heavy hors d’oeuvres will be served.
What is a Watch Night service?
Watch Night services tap into the PFWB denomination’s Wesleyan roots. While older examples may be found, John Wesley instituted Watch Night services in 1740 as an opportunity for Christians to gather to honor the faithfulness of God through worship, testimony, & prayer. Sometimes called Covenant Renewal Services, these corporate celebrations offered a time of reflection on the sovereign goodness of God. Indeed, reflecting on God’s merciful providence during the past year instills holy hope for the year to come.
These services are longer than average weekly worship services and are late at night. To that end, we encourage you to not only come, but dress comfortably.

TOMORROW: Hayride
