This is the greatest hour to follow Jesus.

Ben has been such a blessing to this house really from its earliest days before we even knew it was a church.

I think when we were, yeah, Ben and I held a baptismal service at St. Andrews, the Little Presbyterian Church, in the freezing cold winter.

I'll leave it there.

It was quite the interesting baptismal.

But Ben has been a dear friend to Jess and I.

He's a loyal man.

He is a man who loves the Lord and loves his people.

He loves the Word of God.

And God has placed a zeal on him that we need.

And as we were worshiping, the Lord began speaking to me.

I feel like God is going to very specifically minister to some of you between this morning and tonight.

I want to encourage you get here early tonight.

It will be pandemonium in the best, most glorious way. But Ben is a real treasure. He's a gift to the nations. He's a gift to this house. He's a gift to people who know and love him.

We go way back to Reading. That's where we really first met. And so it's an honor to

have you here. Thank you for loving us. Thank you for loving this house and these people. I know we

missed him, didn't we? It's been about a year. So can we just give Ben the most honoring

welcome we know to give and open our hearts to the power of the Holy Spirit that is

about to flow.

Hallelujah. You want to give a mighty praise and shout to Jesus?

Come on.

Praise you.
