An Introduction to Bible Reading Plan 2026: Acts and the New Testament

After Jesus went back to heaven, His disciples went everywhere telling the world about Him. What if we had been there?

Can you imagine seeing the fire of the Holy Spirit fall on the day of Pentecost, listening to Peter preach that powerful prophetic sermon, and then watching as 3,000 people are baptized? What would it be like to meet regularly with other believers at the temple and from house to house, bonding together and praying for boldness to witness for Jesus?

What if we had been there when God used His servants to heal the lame man, raise Dorcas and Eutycus from the dead, or cast the demons out of the young slave girl?

Would you have traveled with Paul and his missionary assistants on their church-planting journeys across the Roman Empire, experiencing incredible joys while learning to trust God in suffering?

What would you have said or done to encourage unity when the church seemed so divided at the Jerusalem council?

Can you picture Paul standing before kings and leaders, boldly telling the story of Jesus while in chains?

What if you could hear Peter, James, Jude and John reading their letters to the churches aloud as they wrote, inspired by the Holy Spirit?

In our 2026 Bible Reading Plan, we will relive the experiences of Acts and the early church as our daily readings take us from Acts through Revelation, as well as through Acts of the Apostles from Conflict of the Ages Classic Commentary by Ellen G. White.

Let's let God's word and inspired insights transform us and prepare us for Jesus’ return!
