MAJOR LEAGUE Exploring the Major Prophets at Midweek | May 1 – July 31 __________________________________ During the summer of 2018, the Midweek community took twelve weeks to study the words, wisdom, and warnings from the twelve minor prophets. But what about the others? This summer, Midweek is eager to take a closer look at the themes and direction that Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and the writer or Lamentations (believed by many to be the prophet Jeremiah) have to offer.   What might God want to say to us through His prophets? How will these five books help us cultivate a deeper love for the Scriptures and be more sensitive to the prophetic voices in and around us?

Matt Lungren continues the series, Major League, about the major prophets in the Bible with a message from Isaiah.

And stopping, Jesus called them and said, “What do you want me to do for you?” They said to him, “Lord, let our eyes be opened.” And Jesus in pity touched their eyes, and immediately they recovered their sight and followed him.   Jesus performed many miracles and healings throughout His ministry here on earth. In this passage, we see that before He healed, He was moved in pity. What does this short yet significant passage tell us about the heart of Christ? What does this passage tell us about the condition of our own hearts – and what they should look like – in regards to acts of compassion and service in our lives?

WEEK #3 | MARCH 27 | FREEDOM TO (Gina Cherian) Possible Reference Text: Galatians 5:13-14 (ESV) For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” We were freed to live lives of love: to love freely as Christ did, reconciling the broken places all around us. The call to this kind of life won’t necessarily be easy or comfortable. Christ’s journey to give us freedom was downward and painful. But He proclaimed victory over death and, in the process, gave us freedom to live abundant lives in Him. This week will envision us to look at what free living looks like – really. Not in just getting to do whatever we want, whenever we want to. But in loving God and loving our neighbors.

Some understand that Christ came to free us from our sin, but what we don’t talk about as often is the effects of condemnation. What does it mean that Jesus came in the likeness of man, wearing the likeness of sinful flesh? And what does this intentionality on God’s part have to do with our freedom from condemnation? This week will invite us to look at the ways condemnation has played a role in our stories and to release the power condemnation has had on us in different aspects of our lives.

We know that baptism is a symbol of our proclamation of Jesus as Lord – but how did baptism show up in the Scriptures after Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection? Why did the disciples invite those who accepted the Good News to be baptized at once – and what implications does that command have in how we hear and respond to Christ’s commands in our lives?

At Midweek, we’ll take a look Behind the Journey to better understand not just what Jesus said and how it applies to us – but why it was so important and rich in meaning to the people who heard him first. In our day and time, a time in which cultural relevance permeates every aspect of our lives, the little details of how and where we’re living out our faith matter. Jesus cares about the details. He did then – and he does now.

Jesus washed His disciples’ feet in order to show him a different way – a way of service and humility. But where did this tradition start? What did it mean for Abraham to wash the feet of the three men who visited him at Mamre before Sarah and he were promised a son? This week we’ll explore the relationship between showing hospitality and blessing – and how the custom of feet-washing is still meaningful for us today.

We know Jesus performed miracles all throughout the Gospels – but what was different about how He chose to call Lazarus from death to life in John 11? What does how He spoke to that death have to do with us today? Ashlee Eiland continues in Midweek’s Behind the Journey series.
