A God of Mercy: Judgment, Grace, and the Gift of Salvation

In this powerful year-end message from December 29, 1991, we are reminded that God is not only a God of righteousness and judgment—but also a God of mercy, love, and redemption.

Drawing from the story of Jonah and Nineveh, the prophetic promises of the Old Testament, and the fulfillment of those promises in Jesus Christ, this message traces the unfolding plan of salvation from Israel’s history to the present day. It confronts misplaced expectations of a political Messiah and reveals the true purpose of Christ’s coming: to provide a substitute, a Savior, and the gift of eternal life.

This episode also looks ahead—examining biblical prophecy, the regathering of Israel, global political alignments, and the urgency of the gospel in a rapidly changing world. As history and Scripture converge, believers are reminded that now is the time to respond to God’s mercy and proclaim His salvation.
