In this week’s message, Pastor Jim Ramos delves into mercy, grace, judgment, and wrath. If you don’t understand these principles, you're fumbling the fundamentals of the Christian life. These aren't just theological buzzwords—they determine how you lead, love, and respond when it counts. It's time to stop defaulting to wrath and judgment, and start choosing the power of grace and mercy.
