The Narrative Lectionary is a four-year cycle of readings. On the Sundays from September through May each year, the texts follow the sweep of the biblical story, from Creation through the early Christian church.
The texts show the breadth and variety of voices within Scripture. They invite people to hear the stories of Abraham and Sarah, Moses and the prophets, Jesus, and Paul. Listening to the many different voices within Scripture enriches preaching and the life of faith.
You can prepare for each Sunday worship by reading the passage that corresponds to each Sunday. See the attached pdf of these readings.
You can also listen to a short but informative podcast in which scholars from Luther Seminary discuss this passage. Check out the video of the podcast for this upcoming week's discussion of Joseph here: https://youtu.be/sdOX62-14Gg.
