Bible Q & A

Thank you, your ministry has drawn me closer to Christ Jesus.

Mark, you don't know me, but I have listened to all of your Return to the Word studies and plan to do so as many times as I can until I know the Word of God as well as you do. I can't thank you enough for your works. I found Return to the Word in a very despairing time in my life, but I held on to my faith and began to practice my faith through my works. I know the true praise belongs to the Lord, but your sermons are what led me to the strongest relationship with Jesus thus far in my journey....

Recently I did a search for bible teaching in the form of a podcast on Pandora. I happen[ed] to come upon your podcast "Return to the Word" and knew instantly God led me to the right place. I am very grateful [for] your knowledge and stories. I am a new Christian and have been listening to Billy Graham on Sirius but needed something different. Thank you....

I came across your radio program and I have been so blessed. I just started listening recently and I believe that God has been trying to get my attention. Your bible teachings have cleared up a lot of things I've had struggles with. I want to grow deeper in God's grace and truth. (Comments shortened for length)

May the Word of Jesus Christ continue to be preached all over the world. I thank God I found your station in Pandora, and I can’t stop list ...

Dear Sirs,
I just listened to an excellent teaching on John 1:1-5 and am very impressed. I do two Bible studies a week at the Lower Buckeye Jail (Arizona's largest) and have done so for the last 9 years. What I heard from your Pastor/Teacher deeply touched me and it’s the stuff I wish to convey to both the inmates and those attending a weekly Bible study I'm involved in at a neighbor's house every Tuesday evening.

I started listening to your podcasts about two months ago and it's changed my life. Keep up the good work. God bless. (Comments shortened)

Hi Mark. I would just like to tell you that your sermons are just this side of fantastic. I've listened to all you have on Spotify, some more than once. God has given you a truly good gift and I have liked the Bible Study as well (waiting for more). I wish you were still in Wisconsin, for that is closer for me than Alaska but I will listen all the same. Thanks. Sean

Thank you for connecting, Mark. I have been listening to Return to the Word on Pandora and I enjoy every sermon. Thank you for all that you do in the name of our Lord, God Bless you!

Dear Pastor Mark,

You do not know me, but God used you to save me. I am 53 years old. I have been a bad person and have done some very bad things all my adult life. Just recently, my sister moved to Texas, where I live. She has been walking with the Lord for some time. She would preach to me every time she saw me, and I would listen. One day, we were eating dinner, and she said I should get baptized. I thought about it in my head. That night, I had a bad experience. Something visited me, and ...

Great teaching of the Word.

Thank you, Mark. I always tell everyone that God has given me a true gift, which is Return to the Word Bible Study [and] to download it to their phones, but to me you changed my life through your teaching. It’s truly a blessing. I love it. Thank you again. I have definitely turned to Christ. God bless you and your family.

I listen to your podcast every day at work, at home, and before church. I have listened to all of them more than once. I want you to know that your understanding of the Word and your commitment to the faith is such an encouragement and a blessing. I am learning to fall in love with scripture and Jesus all over again through your works and dedication to Christ. With tears in my eyes, I want to thank you for allowing me to worship God with you every day.  It has changed my life and given me a ...

Hello,

My name is Alicia and I live in Australia. I have been recently listening to your Return to the Word program and I just wanted to write and let you know how much it means to me. It has truly been a blessing to be able to find sound biblical teaching that I can listen to each week. That is something hard to find in my area.

I especially appreciate the in-depth teaching and biblical applications of God’s Word that Mr. Fontecchio provides in each message. The illustrations help God’s ...

The Return to the Word podcasts are so educational and wonderful for me. I don't know how many times I have listened to the John 3:16 episode, but it always lifts me up. I thank God for what you do and can't wait to meet you; if not down here, then in Heaven.

Thanks for all you do.

Wish I went to see you when I was in the army. You have a good way of articulating and interpreting the scriptures. Love your messages.

Thank you for your Bible driven mini ...

Your teaching is a breath of fresh air. I learn so much from you. Thank you for using your gift to build up the Body.

Your message hit spot on. Thank you. I am also thankful for Return to the Word. Thank you for teaching the Bible and spreading the message far and wide. I am sure I have no earthly idea of what or how many feet, hearts, hands, hours of labor in prayer and study alone, not to mention management, money, tools, techs, toils and troubles inherent in any endeavor, it takes to send out through technology, truth from God.

"How lovely on the mountain are the feet of them who bring good news..."  ...

Hi Mr. Fontecchio,

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question. Mostly, I am just so glad (I cannot even really tell you how glad) to have discovered that there are men out there teaching the truth--men like you and Mr. Hixson. We have felt alone for so long. I cannot tell you what it means to me just to know you are there. Thank you for all the material you have available on your website that we can use and learn from. It is a blessing to us. Blessings to you and yours in C ...
