For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!” (TPT) In continuation with our study on Psalm 91, let us turn our attention to verse 16.

Rock Piles

Contributed by Bobby Brewer on May 21, 2023

Before returning to Galilee, Jesus goes back to the Temple grounds where He’s presented with a woman who’s been caught in the act of adultery. It's a seemingly lose-lose scenario for not only the woman but also Jesus.
