You've probably heard about the infamous, wise King Solomon. The son of King David and Bathsheba, who was chosen by God for the throne instead of his older brother Adonijah. There is plenty of family drama in this story, and you may learn something new. I know I did!

We are reading 1 Kings chapters 1 through 3, and parts of chapter 4.

*Remastered* Listen to the story of the first set of twins mentioned in the Bible--Jacob and Esau--the sons of Isaac and Rebekah. I always enjoyed hearing about them because I am also a twin. It is a short story but full of deception and greed. To hear what happens after this episode, go to the episode entitled "The Story of Jacob and Rachel" followed by "Jacob Returns Home."

We are reading from Genesis 25, 26:34, and 27.

We continue with the story of Abram and Sarai, but this time they have brand new names. Meet Abraham and Sarah. The story in this episode is, in my opinion, one of the most interesting in the Old Testament. From Sarah's attitude, to how God handles Hagar's destiny. See if you can catch the error that Abraham and Sarah repeat in this story that they also made in the last.

We are reading from Genesis 16-18 and 20-21.

Paul wrote this second letter to the Thessalonians shortly after the first to clarify a few things and make sure they knew which letters were from him. This is the entire book of 2 Thessalonians.

Paul wrote this first letter to the Thessalonians to express his joy when Timothy shared that their faith remained strong. We are reading the entire book of 1 Thessalonians.

The miracle of a baby born of a virgin. The long-awaited arrival of the Messiah. In this episode, in an attempt to get the full picture of the birth of Jesus, I will be reading from Luke 1:26-56, Matthew 1:19-25, Luke 2:1-38, and Matthew 2.

We continue with another story of David, skipping ahead to when he is king. This is the story of how he met Bathsheba and what happens with their son Solomon.
