Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.

0:11.5

I'm Patrick Miller. And I'm Keith Simon. Right now we're working through the story of David's life found in First and Second Samuel.

0:18.0

So we're excited because today we're starting a new series on the life of David and first and second

0:24.9
