Notes From Psalms of Ascent – Week 4

This past week of psalms were difficult for me and maybe for some of you. Psalms 127 and 128 are about the fruitful family, with pictures drawn of the wife and mother surrounded by her children, and Psalm 129 is about protection of the oppressed. As someone who has been told that I will never [...]

Notes from Psalms of Ascent – Week 3
