Scripture Readings for September

As some of you may already know, I’ll be following a narrative lectionary from September through June. That means that in worship we’ll be hearing the story of the one God who creates and redeems the world as it’s told in our scriptures. Here are the stories we’ll be hearing during the remainder of this month:

September 15 - The Binding of Isaac (Genesis 21:1-3,22:1-14)
September 22 - Jacob deceives his father (Genesis 27:1-4,15-23,28:10-17)
September 29 - The Call of Moses (Exodus 2:23-25,3:10-15,4:10-17)

Unfortunately, we end up skipping a lot of really good stories! Here are some others you may want to check out, just so you don’t miss anything:

Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3)
God sends a flood to destroy wickedness on earth, but spares Noah and some animals (Genesis 6-9)
God confuses the language of human beings and scatters them across the earth (Genesis 11:1-9)
God calls Abram (a.k.a. Abraham) (Genesis 12:1-9)
Jacob is deceived by his uncle (Genesis 29)
