Each July I preach a 4 week series while Jeff spends some quality time with God (2 weeks) and with his family (2 weeks). For the record, I've never seen anyone more energized and ready for ministry than Jeff in August. If you are a lead pastor and haven't given yourself the freedom to pursue God and family for several weeks straight then you are doing a dis-service to your church.
But I digress.
This summer I am contemplating doing a series on the minor prophets - you know, the books we never read. Over 4 weeks we will wrestle with issues of justice, faithfulness, complacency and 'robbing God' based on the messages of the minor prophets. Right now I'm leaning towards Micah, Amos, Hosea and Malachi... or maybe just spending the whole 4 weeks on Malachi.
That's just a working idea... what do you think? If you had four weeks, what would you preach?

I'm a little backed up on my reader, and I know this is late, but I think the Minor Prophets would be a great section to spend a few weeks on given the general lack of experience most Christians have with that section of the Bible-The books all hold an immense amount of value and play a pivotal role in the meta-narrative of the Gospel-I will podcast your minor prophets series for sure if you do it
