  • The Bible’s Most POWERFUL Second Chance Story – Message at the MAG EP 854
    May 16 2025
    Men, do you believe God still has a plan for you, even after you’ve blown it? We can all learn from Peter — a man who failed publicly and painfully, yet was restored by Jesus and used powerfully. In this week’s message, Pastor Jim Ramos dives into failure, redemption, and the relentless grace of God. Drawing from personal experience, Jim confronts the fact that we all fall short. This isn’t about pretending to have it all together. It’s about recognizing our flaws, stepping up, and turning to Christ — the only source of real, lasting redemption. This message is from The MAG, The McMinnville Area Gathering for men in McMinnville, Oregon.
