Prince of Peace uses the Narrative Lectionary for its Scripture readings during worship. The Narrative Lectionary guides worshippers through the breadth of the Bible, both the Old Testament and New Testament. People are invited to hear the many voices within Scripture. Beginning the Sunday after Labor Day through Advent, the Narrative Lectionary takes us through the Old Testament starting with the story of creation and moving through the Prophets. The Christmas Season through Easter focuses on readings from one of the four Gospels – Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Following Easter until Pentecost, Scripture focuses on the early Christian Church through the Book of Acts and the Apostle Paul’s Letters. During the summer months, there are three thematic units. They contain at least one series from the Old Testament; one series from the New Testament; and one catechetical series (Ten Commandments, Sacraments, Creeds or Lord’s Prayer).

This is week 2 in a six-week series called, "Returning to the Promise." Like us, faith in God and in God’s promises were a struggle for Abraham. Abraham wondered why Sarah was still barren. Would he ever have an heir, land to pass along to future generations? God told him it would happen, but why was it taking so long? Abraham doubted. Abraham challenged God time and time again. God knew that Abraham struggled in his faith. God knew what was on Abraham’s heart. Abraham’s laments moved him to a stronger faith and more reliance on God’s promise. It doesn’t seem logical, does it? That our faith grows stronger in times of barrenness, lament, and doubt?
