Hello Friends and Family! We’re so glad you came. We have been praying that each person would connect with God in a new way today. Summer is a good time to deepen your relationship with God and establish new relationships with people. We’re so glad you’re here.I hope you will take a moment to visit our Next Step Bookstore where we have a good selection of Bibles, books, music and miscellaneous stuff to help you deepen your walk with God. Also, I provide a selection of Pastor’s Picks for each series to help enhance your understanding. The Pastor’s Picks for this series will open your eyes to the beauty of the stories Jesus taught.Last week we began a new series on the parables of Jesus. We’re calling it “The Jesus Stories: Capturing The Hearts Of Ordinary People.” Each week, we’re going to take on a story Jesus told and try to understand how that story impacted the hearts of His original audience. Today Pastor John will guide us through a story called “The Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids” as we look at developing a prepared heart.Listening intently with you,Pastor Ron
