• God's Convicting Love (2)

  by Mark Kunerth May 25, 2023
  Peter preached a sermon, the first sermon preached to Gentiles, in Acts 10. We all remember verse 38, but I want you to notice something. The Spirit of God did not fall when that verse was preached. The Spirit fell suddenly before Peter could even give an altar call. Acts 10:43 reads “He is t...

• God's Convicting Love (1)

  by Mark Kunerth May 19, 2023
  God the Holy Spirit is full of conviction. He convicts you that you’re righteous. He convicts you that you’re holy. He convicts you that He loves you. Romans 15:30 says “Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with m...

• Knowing Who You Are In Christ (2)

  by Mark Kunerth March 5, 2023
  In Romans 8:37 the bible declares through Paul that we are more than conquerors. That doesn’t do you or I any good until we are convinced of it’s truth. A millionaire would not benefit from his bank account if he didn’t realize it was there and that it was his. I believe that many...

• Knowing Who You Are In Christ (1)

  by Mark Kunerth March 3, 2023
  Knowing who you are in the natural brings security. That is why many people have what is called the RC factor. They are Reluctant to Change, because they are secure in what they know, but are fearful about what they don’t know. When presented with a truth, many will reject that truth and defa...

• Romans 8 (4)

  by Mark Kunerth February 19, 2023
  We ended part 3 with this verse in Romans 8:34: 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. Now Paul goes on to write the most powerful truth...

• Romans 8 (3)

  by Mark Kunerth February 18, 2023
  Here we go with part 3 of this teaching that just destroys religion, legalism, works, and performance based christianity. Not to mention the false teachings regarding sin such as we are "just old sinners saved by grace". That’s false and cannot be justified by scripture. We are forgiven, right...

• Romans 8 (2)

  by Mark Kunerth February 16, 2023
  Continuing on with part 2 of our study of Romans 8. 5 Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. 6 So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But l...

• Romans 8 (1)

  by Mark Kunerth February 15, 2023
  This teaching will be in four parts due to its length. This is a powerful teaching full of great truth, so study through it, don’t just read it. I remember studying Romans 8:1 the other day, which was 8/1/2013, and I felt compelled to share it at this time. I actually wrote thi...

• The Much More Increase (2)

  by Mark Kunerth December 16, 2022
  So the problem is that people do not step out and receive the seed God gives them believing a harvest will result. It’s too much of a risk. That’s the mindset. Let me tell you that Jesus took the biggest risk of all when He left the glory of His Father’s Kingdom to become fully man...

• The Much More Increase (1)

  by Mark Kunerth December 12, 2022
  I’m certain all of us have met people who get stuck in life. Seems there are times when there appears to be no progress or increase in their lives at all. They simply are existing from day to day. Some even grow worse. That is not what God wants for any of us. God’s plan is for us to gr...

• Paul's Thorn (2)

  by Mark Kunerth November 14, 2022
  In verse 7 of 2 Corinthians 12, right after the thorn in the flesh is mentioned, there is a phrase that says “the messenger of satan to buffet me”. This describes what the thorn was. It was not a thing, but rather a demonic messenger or spirit. Paul’s thorn was literally a demonic...

• Paul's Thorn (1)

  by Mark Kunerth November 13, 2022
  Now here is a topic that doesn’t get a lot of attention unless a religious or legalistic preacher wants to make a point about God causing someone to be sick and then not healing them. How ridiculous. I apologize up front for the length of this teaching. I put it in two parts, hoping it&n...

• God Is Not Anything (2)

  by Mark Kunerth September 17, 2022
  Scripture tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that we have a new nature. Our old nature is gone and ALL things have become new. We are righteous. The finished work of the cross was for the old man not for the new man. Many are still trying to crucify the new man through works and performance based Chris...

• God Is Not Anything (1)

  by Mark Kunerth September 16, 2022
  I’m sure that title got your attention, so let me finish the statement. Many people today are getting further revelation into the mysteries of God and have had to say – “God you are not anything like I thought you would be”. This statement will never be truer than when we all...

• Word of God and Truth (2)

  by Mark Kunerth July 7, 2022
  Oh but he’s a sovereign God. Yes He is, but that doesn’t mean He controls everything. That's where we ended part 1 of this teaching. Now let's look at the definition of sovereign and get the religion out of it: -–noun 1. a monarch; a king, queen, or other supreme ruler. 2. ...

• Word of God and Truth (Part 1)

  by Mark Kunerth July 6, 2022
  The title almost sounds ignorant. Of course the Word of God is absolute truth, but many have a hard time receiving it just as it is stated. Saying the Word of God and truth will hopefully get your attention to find out what is meant. Those who have difficulty simply letting scripture say what it me...

• Justified By Grace (Part 4)

  by Mark Kunerth June 12, 2022
  Now look at this scripture. Romans 5:17. “For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one (now that would be Adam); much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ”. There...

• Justified By Grace (Part 3)

  by Mark Kunerth June 10, 2022
  We ended Part 2 of this teaching discussing Abraham believing God, as revealed in Genesis 15:6 and confirmed in Romans 4:3. Paul discusses this matter many times in his writings. Just look at the rest of Romans then jump to the book of Galatians. Paul makes a strong statement about the difference b...

• Justified By Grace (Part 2)

  by Mark Kunerth June 9, 2022
  Ephesians 1:6 states we ought to live To the praise of the glory of his grace. That means everyday. We ought to be giving God Praise for his wonderful grace everyday, because His grace brought to us what Jesus provided for us. Without His grace we would have no blood covenant, no calvary, no resurre...

• Justified By Grace (Part 1)

  by Mark Kunerth June 8, 2022
  Many Christians know some things about Grace. Many Christians know some things about Faith. The problem is they don’t have an understanding about Grace and Faith. Being saved by grace through faith does not ring a clear bell of revelation that there is a merger of Grace and Faith. There is a m...

• What About My Sin? (Part 2)

  by Mark Kunerth May 5, 2022
  We ended part 1 with this question - What is it that makes us completely clean from the evil WE have done? The answer - His Blood. You'll notice from the scriptures shown that it MAKES us completely clean. It does the work. WE DON’T! Let's look at the truth. Hebrews 9:13-15 goes on to declare...

• What About My Sin? (Part 1)

  by Mark Kunerth May 5, 2022
  Wow! What a question. First of all, it’s the wrong question, because it’s not your sin, It’s His. Now don’t stop studying. I know there may be those of you who are completely offended by that statement. Just keep studying, if for no other reason than to see if I can prove tha...

• Spirit of Grace (Part 2)

  by Mark Kunerth April 22, 2022
  We ended part 1 with the following statement. "Trying to bring your sin to God and trying to act humble about it is nothing more than dead works. It's nothing more than chocolate and roses. So, trying to keep a set of rules, or adhere to a religious program man has created in order to...

• Spirit of Grace (Part 1)

  by Mark Kunerth April 21, 2022
  Let me start this teaching with a statement from Graham Cooke. “Performance based Christianity is one of the biggest problems that we have in the church today. People feeling they need to perform in order to receive something from God, or in order to be taken seriously. We put on this kind of...

• Pursuing What Others Ignore (Part 2)

  by Mark Kunerth March 30, 2022
  We ended part 1 with these words - "Okay. I can already hear the cries of the religious audience saying “Wait a minute! Satan is powerful”. I never said he wasn’t powerful. I’m simply showing you where he gets his power from. He was given that power by man." Then I challenged...

• Pursuing What Others Ignore (Part 1)

  by Mark Kunerth March 29, 2022
  Pursuing what others ignore. Sounds strange when you say this, but when you pursue what others ignore there will be many misunderstandings. 1 Corinthians 4:20 reads “For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power”. You remember the old saying, I can’t hear...

• Effortless Faith - Part 4

  by Mark Kunerth February 28, 2022
  Going back to salvation once again. Faith is a recognition of what He has done. Your altar call moment did not save you. You were saved because Jesus responded to the altar call! Religious minded people have a great deal of problems with this because it is too easy. The scandal of the gospel has alw...

• Effortless Faith - Part 3

  by Mark Kunerth February 27, 2022
  Now, moving onto part 3 of this awesome Truth. We have all heard about the “faith” chapter located in the book of Hebrews, Chapter 11. Studying this chapter reveals the “actions” of faith taken by the people mentioned, so it is a good place to start this part three. I’...

• Effortless Faith - Part 2

  by Mark Kunerth February 25, 2022
  We ended part 1 with the following: "He died for us and as us so we could become one with Him. When that happened everything about me died and I took on Him and His nature. So it is His faith and His faith never fails. He did all the work. We get all the prizes and rewards through resting in His fin...

• Effortless Faith - Part 1

  by Mark Kunerth February 24, 2022
  This teaching will be in four parts. The truth about Faith is being falsely taught by religionists and legalists, and must be addressed with Truth. So here's part one which will destroy the traditional false beliefs about what faith is. Faith ought to be effortless. Having said that, I ne...

• God's Message Stands Firm (2)

  by Mark Kunerth January 16, 2022
  We ended part one of this teaching with the following: "23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Notice it is a past tense statement when it says “everyone HAS sinned”. The KJV says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory...

• God's Message Stands Firm (1)

  by Mark Kunerth January 15, 2022
  This teaching in 2 parts. Here's part 1. The average church and most Christians simply do not dare to check their beliefs or practices with the truth of God’s word. They want to enjoy the thrill of feeling right, but are not willing to endure the inconvenience of being right. Most people jus...

• What Covenant Is Ours? (2)

  by Mark Kunerth October 12, 2021
  Religion demands performance and causes people who cannot live according to the legalistic rules to at least act like they are. Religion causes people to live in defeat and despair, which forces them to act as though they are victorious and happy. Hence the phoniness and hypocrisy. Religious people...

• What Covenant Is Ours? (1)

  by Mark Kunerth October 11, 2021
  Let’s start with the the question that is the title of this teaching, because it is a good one. First you must establish which covenant is yours. Are you under the old covenant of law, or are you under the new covenant of grace? Here’s the problem. Many people shake their heads yes, the...

• One Is And Two Are Yet To Be (2)

  by Mark Kunerth October 3, 2021
  As promised at the end of part 1, we will continue with Ephesians 1:9-20 in this teaching. In this part, we will reveal the mysteries and truths behind these scriptures just as we have in part 1 of this teaching. Remember, it's about us being three part beings. Body, Soul, and Spirit.  9 ...

• One Is And Two Are Yet To Be (1)

  by Mark Kunerth September 28, 2021
  This teaching has a long introduction by necessity, but don’t fret. I will give plenty of scripture to support everything that’s said. Have you ever heard the little verse “Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So”? The majority of the people who have ever sung this little stanza...

• High Rock (2)

  by Mark Kunerth September 17, 2021
  As promised at the end of part 1, here's another example of failing to give honor. It is found in 2 Kings 2:23,24. 23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald...

• High Rock (1)

  by Mark Kunerth September 16, 2021
  The Rock That Is Higher. This study is more in the line of a message, but be sure you will find grace laced throughout and teaching in the truth of scripture. David wrote the following Psalm at a time when his son Absolom was trying to kill him. It was a terrible time in his life. Psalms 61:1-8 1&...

• God's Way (2)

  by Mark Kunerth August 26, 2021
  You'll notice James 1:12 doesn’t say if, it says "when he is tried". People will say that God is sending the trials and temptations into your life. That’s totally wrong. James 1:13 says so. God will use the trials and temptations, but he is not the author of them. James 1, vers...

• God's Way (1)

  by Mark Kunerth August 25, 2021
  It is difficult for people to discard the God of the Old Covenant when we talk about discipline. God is a God of justice. In the Old Covenant under the law, His justice demanded judgement of pain and even death. In the New Covenant under grace, His justice demands love, grace, mercy, and favor. I h...

  by Mark Kunerth August 13, 2021
  We all have a different view or opinion about what the Christian life should look like or be like. Well, what is the scriptural truth about the Christian life. We’ve already seen in John 10:10 what God says about life for us. We’ve seen that it is Christ’s life in us the hope of gl...

  How many wake up in the morning and just know God’s on your side? Do you say “GOOD LORD – it’s morning again”? Or do you say “GOOD MORNING LORD”? Do you get up depressed or do you wake up fully impressed with who He is and who you are in Him? Well, let&rsqu...

• What Stresses You (2)

  by Mark Kunerth July 24, 2021
  As promised in part 1, lets look here at Matthew 11:28-30. Jesus gives us an absolute solution to stress and worry. 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] So our part is to simply c...

• What Stresses You (1)

  by Mark Kunerth July 23, 2021
  In many of the studies or teachings on this website, reference is made often to God doing all the work and we simply receiving from Him. It’s God working to get us to see the mystery of the inheritance that’s ours in Christ Jesus. What happens when we get this backwards is we move into ...

  Continuing on and completing this teaching beginning with Mark 5:30. 30 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that the power proceeding from Him had gone forth, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?” 31 And His disciples said to Him, ...

• Grace, Love, Jesus (3)

  by Mark Kunerth July 11, 2021
  Here we go with Part 3 of this teaching. If you remember, we ended Part 2 stating God is not in control of everything, but He is in charge. Why is this concept of the wonderful grace of God so hard for believers to receive? It has to do with the heart. Those who insist on performing in order to rec...

• Grace, Love, Jesus (2)

  by Mark Kunerth July 10, 2021
  By definition, the word grace means unmerited, unearned, undeserved favor. Therefore, the good news is, grace has nothing to do with you. Grace existed before you ever came to be. Another way of saying it is, grace is God’s part. Faith is defined as being a positive respon...

  by Mark Kunerth June 28, 2021
  So, we ended Part 1 with the promise we would discuss, not just another day of rest, but a SPECIAL day. Here it is in Hebrews 4. 8 Now if Joshua had succeeded in giving them this rest, God would not have spoken about another day of rest still to come. 9 So there is a special rest still w...

  by Mark Kunerth June 28, 2021
  I posted a 2 Part teaching on May 14 and 15, 2021 entitled “DON’T WORK – REST” that compliments this teaching. It would be worth going back to that one and relating it to this one. I originally wrote that teaching in July of 2012. This teaching was written in August 2015. Wel...

  by Mark Kunerth June 21, 2021
  This post will be a bit different. The scripture references will be 2 Corinthians 8:12-14. Here it is in the NLT - 12 Whatever you give is acceptable if you give it eagerly. And [give according to what you have, not what you don’t have.] 13 Of course, I don’t mean you...

• Discouragement and Fear - NOT (2)

  by Mark Kunerth June 6, 2021
  We finished Part 1 with the statement we have been set free from all that legalistic religious double speak that says you have to be good enough for God to bless you or answer your prayers. Don’t fall back into that way of thinking. It is for freedom that Christ has set you free. Fre...

  by Mark Kunerth June 5, 2021
  As the Lord impressed me to study the Word this particular morning on October 4, 2015, I was perplexed as to what part of the Word I was to study. If there's one thing I have learned in this great revelation He has given me concerning His ridiculous, radical, inexhaustible Grace, it is how to wait. ...

This post updates my profile picture and also includes a short statement about the religious church and a response. He...

  As was stated at the endof part 1 of this teaching, we will reveal what the man's answer should have been when Jesus asked him in John 5 verse 6 - "Do you want to be healed. Of course the correct and immediate answer to the question should have been yes. I want to be healed. But instead, ...

  In Psalms 110:1, David writes the following. This is in the Easy To Read version. The Lord said to my lord, “Sit at my right side, while I put your enemies under your control.” Jesus is our example. So what God is saying to Jesus is He will put His enemies under His contro...

  Continuing on with part 2, let's start with Ephesians 3:14-21 in the NLT. 14 When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, Did you notice that Paul says the same thing in verse 1? “When I think of all this”. In the NAS it reads “For this reason I&rdquo...

• God's View of Your Past (1)

  by Mark Kunerth May 6, 2021
  When we feel like we are not good enough to be loved by God, we should remember that God’s love is greater than our doubts. Consider the kind of extravagant love the Father has lavished on us. He calls us children of God! It’s true; we are His beloved children. Let me drop this scriptur...

  Here comes that very important question asked by Paul in 1 Corinthians 2:16.  16 For who has known the mind of the lord, that he will instruct him? Once again, notice that’s the only part of the verse either in italics or set apart. That's because Paul is quoting an old testament s...

  Here we go with Part 2. In Part 1 we studied a man called Asaph in Psalms 77 and discovered that he employed the same method of praise that Hezekiah did when confronted by Sennacherib.

So, please forgive the length of both parts 1 and 2. Enjoy this teaching. Here's part 1. For the last several weeks before w...

• Personal Touch (2)

  by Mark Kunerth March 4, 2021
  Grace is always the manifestation of God’s power to do something that we cannot do ourselves. Our part is to take or receive. I’m not talking about greed. I’m talking about understanding what faith simply is. Like I said before, faith is an action word. The action is to receive wha...

  Hello everyone. I've been traveling a bit lately, so haven't had much chance to put up any posts. Good to be home for awhile. Hope you enjoy this post. Why is it important to give someone a personal touch? By that I don’t necessarily mean a physical hands on touch. Maybe it’s just time ...

• Grace - An Excuse To Sin (2)

  by Mark Kunerth February 2, 2021
  Those who are afraid of the grace message will teach that you can take grace too far. Grace is God expressing His unconditional love and mercy for you and me independent of anything we ever do or don’t do now or in the future. Grace is Jesus personified. So to say you can go too far with grace...

• Grace - An Excuse To Sin (1)

  by Mark Kunerth January 31, 2021
  Lets start with Truth. Grace does not excuse you to sin. Grace does not cover up sin. Grace empowers you to live righteously. Grace is not right doing, it’s right believing. Romans 6:1-3 uses an almost rhetorical question to get the point across regarding the grace of God. It would be rhetori...

• Truth vs Untruth (2)

  I mentioned in part 1 we would pick this teaching back up with verse 15 of Romans 4. So here we go. 15 For the law always brings punishment on those who try to obey it. (The only way to avoid breaking the law is to have no law to break!) Well, I guess since you think you have to live up to th...

  I am convinced that what keeps people in bondage is pride. Not arrogant pride. False pride. It goes something like this. “I’m not worthy. I’m worthless. I’m not valuable. I’m useless. I keep screwing up. I don’t deserve it.” This is false humility which is t...

  by Mark Kunerth December 28, 2020
  A review of part 1 will help tie this into part 2. Paul explains the failed situations in Romans 3 verses 10-18. Then in verse 19 he explains the futility of trying to live under the law. 19 We want to be clear that whatever the law says, it says to everyone who is under its authority. It...

• God Remains Faithful (1)

  by Mark Kunerth December 27, 2020
  God’s salvation consists essentially of His presence with us. Given this truth, then His wrath consists of His absence or separation from us. The bad news is this, without the good news of Jesus, no hope exists and God’s wrath is real. In the latter portion of Romans 2 and going through...

  Her answer is simple, “No man, Lord.” His forgiveness is instant, “Neither do I condemn thee.” This is where we left off in part 1, right after verse 11 of John chapter 8. Jesus first gave her the gift of no condemnation. He said “I don’t condemn you”. Then...

  by Mark Kunerth December 20, 2020
  The New Testament relays many stories about Jesus and his encounter with women. He was very controversial during His time on earth because He was the only one at the time who came to restore women to their rightful positions in the Kingdom. Stories that come to mind are the woman at the well, Jairu...

• Discern Good and Evil (2)

  by Mark Kunerth December 17, 2020
  In Mark 3:4 Jesus asks if it is lawful to do good or to do evil. He didn’t ask if it is lawful to do right or wrong. Why? Because He knew they were religious law keepers and legalists. He knew they didn’t understand the difference between right and wrong verses good and evil. That is wh...

  In the garden of Eden stood the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It wasn’t the tree of the knowledge of right and wrong. Right and wrong will always change, but good and evil will not. Here’s a couple examples. I don’t like broccoli, but my wife does. So, it’s right f...

  So, Saul has this great encounter with grace. Instead of being killed by God, God says “get up, go into the city”. Once he gets there God says, here’s what I want you to do. You will be called Paul, you will write half of the new testament about my love and grace. You will preach t...

• God Is Misrepresented (1)

  by Mark Kunerth December 7, 2020
  Why is that? Why is it that God is being misrepresented? It’s because many in the Christian community know the God of the law, but not the God of grace, peace and love. The problem with that is you will become what you are, based on the God that you know. Religious people think they have...

  As you continue to study the rest of the scriptures in Numbers chapter 32, you’ll discover what belongs to you, but you’ll actually be able to possess those things and enjoy them. The people said we will march into battle. We will utilize our gifts and talents. We will reject religion a...

• Fighting For What's Yours (1)

  by Mark Kunerth November 30, 2020
  This teaching developed as I was studying the book of Numbers and came up on Chapter 32. Now, you may be asking, what is a grace teacher doing studying the boring book of Numbers? Well, if you have to ask that question, then it’s clear you haven’t been studying the teachings on this webs...

• Comparing Grace and Law

  by Mark Kunerth November 27, 2020
  You’ve heard me say this before, but it bears continuous repeating, because it is such a profound Truth. “Holiness is not a requirement for God to have a relationship with you.” That statement right there immediately lets me know where people truly are in their understanding of th...

  So now let's talk about Saul of Tarsus. If God didn’t stay with him and bring him to the knowledge of His grace, I wouldn’t be writing this revelatory teaching right now. Come on. God does not remove His gifts and callings. He uses the broken and beaten to bring the message of His kingdo...

  This title is from an old commercial that Dr. Pepper put out years ago. They even had it as their logo on their bottles in the 1960’s. “Dr Pepper Time”, according to one promotion, was at 10, 2 and 4 o’clock. In the 1960s, the tune of the chorus of “The Glow-W...

  by Mark Kunerth November 20, 2020
  Hebrews 10:8-10 continues on with what was discussed in part 1 of this teaching. That being to declare the truth of the better covenant and destroy the untruths surrounding legalism and religion associated with the law.  8 First, Christ said, “You did not want animal sacrifices...

• And Then Comes The Law (1)

  by Mark Kunerth November 19, 2020
  Many new believers are overwhelmed by scripture when they first start reading the bible. Especially when they read from the beginning. Much of their confusion, frustration, and despair can be blamed on the lack of guidance and mentoring they receive. It appears we are over zealous when it comes to ...

• No Condemnation (2)

  by Mark Kunerth November 17, 2020
  We ended part 1 with this - "Finally, no one can condemn me. They can’t even reject me, because how can you reject something that’s already been accepted". Too many Christians allow their experiences to dictate and dominant their lives, rather than receiving the truth of what scripture ...

  by Mark Kunerth November 16, 2020
  Romans 8:1 says “There is therefore now NO condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit”. That means there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus….period!!!! Yes but you are a stickler...

• Foolish Galatians - Don't Be One (2)

  by Mark Kunerth November 13, 2020
  In chapter 3, Paul calls the Galatians foolish. Foolish for what? For leaving the grace of Christ and going back to relating to God based on their performance. He also calls them bewitched. Why did they go back into legalism after they had originally put faith in Jesus alone and recei...

  by Mark Kunerth November 12, 2020
  There is no room for compromise in the gospel of the Grace of Christ. Understand this. Paul makes it very clear. He was extremely adamant about this. The book of Romans is Paul’s masterpiece on the study of God’s great grace, but the book of Galatians is his strongest teaching on th...

  by Mark Kunerth November 10, 2020
  Galatians 4:7 says “Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir”. That’s a powerful truth, but so many Christians are still acting like orphans. God has MADE (past tense) you his heir. Quit walking around like you...

  I am convinced that what keeps people in bondage is pride. Not arrogant pride. False pride. It goes something like this. “I’m not worthy. I’m worthless. I’m not valuable. I’m useless. I keep screwing up. I don’t deserve it.” This is false humility which is t...

  Okay. Now let's get to this subject called great faith. Only two people in bible are mentioned, that I could find, that were titled as having great faith. The first is the Roman centurion and the second was the Canaanite woman. Let’s look first at the Roman centurion. Matthew 8:5-13. 5 ...

  by Mark Kunerth November 5, 2020
  That title should get many curious, but God does not bless us based on our love for Him, or our good works toward Him. God blesses us based on his love toward us. God’s blessing are not given us based on the measure of our performance, but rather based on the security of His promises. There a...

  Hezekiah is not a great man of faith. He’s not a student of faith, he’s a King, a ruler of people. But he does the right thing. He hails the man of Faith. It’s Isaiah. He’s one of the great men of faith. He’s the man who hears from God daily. He’s the student...

• Telling God He's God (1)

  by Mark Kunerth October 14, 2020
  You may have heard me say this before on a previous teaching. True worship is when God’s people are telling God that He’s God. It’s not necessarily all verbal, but more resting in the promises of God and trusting in Him to do and perform what is needed. This story beginning in 2 K...

  What a title for a teaching. The title of this teaching will perk the interest of many people. On the surface it would imply a form of works.

  by Mark Kunerth September 21, 2020
  Actually, we could flip the title and call this Rest Holy. Faith is seeing the finished work of Christ and resting there. When God gives you a word it’s a word He wants to work in your life. It’s not up to you to work it. You simply receive it and enter into his rest. How do we do that?...

  This is part 3 of the authority of the believer and the grace of God. So picking up where we left off. Religion says, you have to believe, but then you have to do something also. That’s wrong. My purpose is to bring you the truth, because the bible says it’s the knowledge of the truth th...

• Believer's Authority (2)

  by Mark Kunerth July 21, 2020
  If you think part 1 was filled with Truth, buckle your spiritual seatbelts, because we've just got started. In John 16:27 Jesus says “The Father himself loves you because you have loved me. And he loves you because you have believed that I came from God”. The Father loves you, because y...

  by Mark Kunerth July 20, 2020
  There are many teachings about the authority of the believer and the grace of God. Both of these subjects remain on my heart. So I asked God what message He wanted me to teach about. God’s reply was “My people are walking around in defeat, because they don’t realize the author...

  As I was studying Hosea 11:1-3, then 7, God spoke this Word to me. “I am always trying to get favor and grace to my people, but Here’s what happened. As the ministers of Truth sent forth the Word or called the people with the truth, the people didn’t like it and went to the “...

  by Mark Kunerth July 17, 2020
  James understood this whole truth of grace by revelation from the Spririt of God. Look what he wrote in James 4:6 – And He gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Romans 10:3 says “for they being ignorant of God...

  Forgiveness, legalism, law and grace. Now there is a set of words that we could teach on for years to come. Frankly, we have been teaching on them for years. Yet with all the previous teachings on the subject of God’s Ridiculous, Radical, “all most too good to be true”, Inexhaustib...

  by Mark Kunerth July 14, 2020
  Legalism as defined in the dictionary is “strict and literal adherence to the law”. So many are locked in the bondage of religion and legalism. Thinking they must perform in order to be good enough, holy enough, righteous enough for God to accept them. This teaching comes on the heels o...

  by Mark Kunerth July 13, 2020
  We left off part 1 with this question? "Can I really expect to receive forgiveness of all my sins?" Ephesians 1:7. “In whom we have (past tense again) redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” Colossians 1:14. Just ...

• Is There Enough Grace (1)

  by Mark Kunerth July 12, 2020
  Is there really enough grace? Will God truly extend to me His grace after all that I’ve done wrong? Can I really expect to receive forgiveness of all my sins? What do I have to do in order to get right with God? We hear these questions all the time. You may even have asked yourselves these qu...

  Let’s move on to the next one. I was glad when they said, “Let us go into the house of the Lord”. So lets put this in context also. First understand that if you’re not glad when you go to church, then you shouldn’t go at all. Again, it’s a heart thing, not a requi...

  Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. We quote this scripture all the time, but do we ever see the importance, emphasis, and power in this word. People listen to preachers and teachers and the words they say. However, if they are not speaking words that are God’s words, the r...

• Encouraged by the Holy Ghost (2)

  by Mark Kunerth July 6, 2020
  At the end of part 1 of this subject, I suggested you briefly review it before starting part 2. Here's part 2. This is a good place to drop this quote in from A.W. Tozer: “If the Holy Spirit were taken away from the New Testament church, 90% of what they did would have come to a halt. B...

  by Mark Kunerth July 5, 2020
  Acts 9:20-31 begins the story of Saul (later Paul the Apostle) and his bold ministry. If you remember, this was a man that had very poor behavior and totally wrong believing. He was a Pharisee of Pharisees, keeper of the law to the strictest order, and a killer of believers. He was there at Stephen&...

  by Mark Kunerth July 4, 2020
  So, we see that “and suddenlies” occur in many different circumstances. They are not just for healing, or provision, or salvation, or restoration, but can occur for any need that befalls us. I believe Bill Johnson said this also. “We occupy something only for the purpose of advanc...

• Healing From God's Pantry (2)

  by Mark Kunerth July 2, 2020
  Here's where we left off in Part 1. "It isn’t that God doesn’t want to heal. It’s that He already has. The healer lives on the inside of you. Healing is present within you. It s the manifestation of that healing that we continue to seek. What is it we still do not know about healin...

  by Mark Kunerth June 30, 2020
  As we continue from Part 1, here’s another thing the law does. It keeps you in your old dead state and prevents you from entering into life. 2 Corinthians 3:6 – “He has enabled us to be ministers of His new covenant. This is a covenant not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The o...

  It’s just continuous. It’s the same old story. Paul ran into it when he was correcting the Galatians. They were saved and set free by the grace of God, but then they let others convince them there was something more they needed or had to do. It’s what we call Galatianism. Mixing la...

  Continuing on from part 1 with John 5 verse 15 and following. 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. 16 And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. What a rebel Jesus was. Again, how dare H...
