I have been listening to your sermons via the Pandora App every week (or when there's a new sermon). I appreciate how you don't sugarcoat the Word. I appreciate how you remain humble (acknowledge your sin(s) too). I appreciate how your message doesn't sound like an advert using Christ and salvation as a selling point. I just wanted to really say I appreciate all your work. And thank you. I felt moved to encourage you and I send all my love. Your congregation is blessed. (Comments shortened for ...
Return to the Word has to be my most influential Bible study that I follow. The lense that Pastor Mark sees and uses to share the gift of the Gospel with us with has to be the closest to a true heart for God that I have heard in my entire life. Thank you for sharing your gift with God's sons and daughters. I pray God continues to use you for the glory of Him in His king ...
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 ...
Thank you, your ministry has drawn me closer to Christ Jesus.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for your wonderful Return to the Word! I love to listen to it during the day all day. It fills me with more knowledge of my Lord and Savior. Mark Fontecchio is so common sense and easy to listen to and understand. He makes it a joy to take in as much as I can and increase my relationship with my Lord and Savior.
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)
Hi Mark. I live in Battle Creek, Michigan and I found your sermon series on Pandora. I love the Lord and I love deepening my faith and experience in Him. I just want to give you a very sincere and deep thank you for walking a life of faith. I know that you have spent time with God because I can hear His voice through yours. You're a good man and I have listened to several teachings over the last few days and I love the way that you are able to articulate what you're saying with metaphors. Very ...
Thank you so much for all you do. You will never know how much it means to me.
...I drive a truck, with many hours spent on the road I have wasted time with mindlessness until recently I found..... no God brought your ministry into my life. I now spend my time with the words of your Bible study immersed in God's Word, instructions, and love. Thank you for answering God's calling to spread His eternal Word. May God bless you fully and in His perfect wi ...
Every time I listen to your teaching from the Bible, I gain more insight as to the meaning of the text. The Bible is not just text to be read or listened to, but to be understood in the context of who is speaking, who is being addressed, where is it taking place, time period, etc. These are brought out in your messages. Thank you for the sound doctrine that is being taught at Return to the Word Ministries. The Bible is just as relevant today as it was when it was ...
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 ...
Thank you Pastor Mark for being a message of hope, especially now.
I love the podcast, thank you for holding true to the Word of God...!
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 Pastor. We have not met. I came across your (Return to the Word) sermons and Bible teachings from a Pandora program, and although I do not claim to be any type of biblical scholar, I would like to thank you in particular for teaching what I would consider disciplined sermons on the proper meaning and intent of God's scripture. Also as an added compliment the interjected humor and similes for more emphatic and vivid descriptions in your articulations are especially effective. (I enjoyed the ...
Mark is a fantastic teacher that simply shows us what the Bible says and does a great job explaining why. Thank you, Mark!
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!
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.
Hello, Mark.
I hardly know how to start this message. As a life long child of the Father, I have seen the Word watered down gradually over the years, until we have what it has become in most churches today. It was so refreshing that God led me to your podcast on Pandora. Your knowledge of the Word impresses me. But not as much as your love of the Father and your willingness to speak the truth of the Word. I listen to your teachings every morning during my workouts. It's like going to Bible ...
