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

0:10.8

I'm Keith Simon.

0:11.9

And I'm Patrick Miller. Right now we are asking who is Jesus.

0:17.1

Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of Jesus was like? What did he do? Who did he interact with? What was his story? Who were the power

1:30.0

Now we know from the Gospels that Jesus' dad was still alive when he was a young man but by the time that Jesus' ministry had started Joseph was probably already dead.

1:51.0

He very well had to train his brothers in their trade so that they could... and his Greek he was a architecton. Now architecton in modern parlance is really just a
