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)
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 ...
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, your ministry has drawn me closer to Christ Jesus.
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.
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 ...
I just want to take a moment to write to Return to the Word and say thank you. I have learned so much about the Word of God through the podcast. Give all the glory to the Lord. Thank you again for everything you all do.
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 ...
I would like to thank your ministry for providing a clear, informative, and thorough teaching of the Word of God. I listen to your podcasts as I work, as a landscaper. I grew up in a Southern Baptist Church, and have gradually drifted away as life started happening. Finding your podcast was definitely in God’s plan for me! Thank You....
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.
Thank you for your podcast. It helps me gain more knowledge of the Bible as I drive home nigh ...
Thank you Pastor Mark Fontecchio for your teachings in the Word of God. I just love it. Happy AND BLESSED NEW YEAR, with your Beautiful fami ...
Well done. Mark, you have a remarkable talent for teaching the Gospel. The best reading and interpretation relating to our contemporary lives I've heard anywhere.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to listen to your wonderful ministry.
Dear Brother,
Praise the Lord! Thanks for sharing your website with us. Kindly always remember our requests in your prayers. We are always in need of your assistance and your prayers.
With much love and prayers,
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 ...
I am not sure how I came across your site but I always pray that the Lord would lead me to pastors who have a genuine love of the Lord and are preaching His Word in truth. I have only listened to around three of your sermons so far but from what I have heard, I really like what you say. May the Lord bless your ministry abundantly!
Pastor Mark’s teaching influenced my then atheist husband. My husband started listening to him during the height of the Pandemic lock-down. I have been saved and a believer for years now but it was actually my husband who introduced me to this podcast. Pastor Mark’s teaching and situational stories speaks to my soul. Definitely an instrument of God. Now my husband and I are part of a growing church and are also serving. Just like what Pastor Mark said on his study of the book of Philippians, ...
Thank you for the podcast, I listen to it most nigh ...
