| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work. |
| 0:10.0 | I'm Keith Simon. I'm Tanya Wilmoth. And I'm Patrick Miller. We're in the middle of our Christmas |
| 0:15.5 | series right now. We're exploring the stories around Jesus's birth and the prophecies |
| 0:20.1 | pointing forward to it. We have a spiritual adversary, a spiritual enemy. First |

| 1:40.0 | Solomon develops into a great leader |
| 1:42.0 | who builds the temple and a palace, but after a while his heart |
