Today, as we resume our "I Am..." series, we welcome our friend Jared Erhardt as he teaches on Jesus being the light of mercy. In the teaching, Jared quotes American pastor and theologian Brian Zahnd: "To be on the wrong side of mercy is to be on the wrong side of God." Zahnd continues, though: "...no matter how many Bible verses you pile up."
Please find the slide deck for this week's teaching here.
