Intro:
Good morning every, it is great to see all of you today.
May you be blessed in the Lord today as we continue our study on the parables.

So, in this parable, wait a minute, I think I have lost something, got my Bible, Got my notes.
Hold on (Run off stage, come back in with Gia), there she is, you know I knew there was something missing this morning.
