The Message of Habbakuk

Mike Leake

I realize that I did it again…waited about a week or two to post. I apologize! It is a bad spiral that I would love to climb out of. I want many of you to come to our website–I put lots of work into it then very few show up. So, I get discouraged and do not update it. But, how can I expect it to grow if those of you who do come are not filled with the Word? Why would you come back. Therefore, I am going to make it a discipline to try to post at least something every week day. Here is the message from two Wednesday’s ago on Habakkuk–When God Doesn’t Make Sense

The Message of Zephaniah

Mike Leake

I just realized it has been an entire week since I have written anything! Sorry. I guess if I expect people to visit then I need to update more. Last night we spoke on the Prophet Zephaniah and talked about God dancing over us because of what He has done in our lives through His Son. To be honest with you I do not think I feel the full weight of this message–I feel as if I did an insufficient job of presenting the message of Zephaniah. However, I trust in the fact that the Lord is sovereign and that He uses His word to accomplish His set purposes. With that being said here is the link to the sermon, The Dancing Surgeon.

The Message of Hosea

It astounds me how often the Lord works most in sermons that I feel went the worst. Last night I felt really flat and as if I were not preaching with the passion that I needed to. It is amazing the power that God has in his Word. I have had a fair amount of people say that the Lord spoke to them last night and that they were really blessed. The message of the prophet Hosea is very powerful!

Here is the sermon from last night: Loving Prostitutes

Keep looking on the page to find a link to your blogs…those should be updated. Also, if you read this before tonight don’t forget that you are invited to the Office Party at my house!

Enamored with the Gospel

Mike Leake

I am awestruck. I am afraid that words are going to fail me as I begin to share with you the passion that the Lord has created in my heart for His precious gospel. For the last 3 months or so the Lord has been causing the truth of the gospel to go really deep in my heart. The question has been running through my head; “Do you really belive the gospel, Mike?”

Do I believe the gospel enough to live it? Do I believe the gospel enough to not defend myself? Do I believe the gospel enough to forsake all in my pursuit of Christ? Do I believe the gospel enough to run to Christ in the midst of my sin? Do I believe the gospel enough to stand before a group of people and preach grace boldly? Do I believe the gospel enough to preach it in such a way that you are left thinking, “well then, can’t I just keep sinning”? Do I believe the gospel enough to trust and rely on grace rather than my penance and/or good works to make me acceptable to God? Do I believe the gospel enough to tithe, even when our bank account dwindles? Do I believe the gospel enough to trust God in the birth of our son? Do I believe the gospel enough to stop trying to please people and instead please the Lord? Do I believe the gospel enough to say what I mean and mean what I say? Do I believe the gospel enough to not hide behind a mask? Do I believe the gospel enough to not always have to know the answer? Do I believe the gospel enough to entrust to God’s sovereign grace the lives of the sheep he has entrusted me with? DO I BELIEVE THE GOSPEL!

Sadly, quite often I do not. But I am growing. Do I believe the gospel enough to know that even if I do not believe the gospel enough it still rings true? And to that I think I can say yes. I believe the gospel, Lord help me to believe the gospel more!
