The Lord is doing a fresh work in my heart, you might even call it a 'Gospel Awakening.' I am coming awake once more to the astounding gift of grace that is ours because of the cross. My eyes are beginning to open up to a new discoveries found within the old truths of the good news. There is a lightness and a freedom in my heart. There is a joy and a renewed excitement in my relationship with Christ. I am seeing that the finished work of Christ on the cross is really and truly sufficient for our current, ongoing struggles in this life, not just our past sin. I see that the Gospel is more powerful, more expansive, and more satisfying than I've ever experienced. I see that practical holiness is a work of grace that comes through faith and nothing less. And all of this ties back to the simple, but powerful practice of communion. I can't wait to share the things the Lord has been revealing to me. I'm praying that he will open your hearts to a fresh discovery of the Gospel. Come expectant. - Pastor Ben Presten
