Jesus had predicted that after His resurrection and ascension He would take His rightful place next to God the Father. After boldly witnessing for Christ before the Sanhedrin, Stephen was allowed to see the fulfillment of this promise from the Savior. Stephen died with great assurance before Christ.

How we handle our own death speaks to what we believe. Christians have the opportunity to glorify God when we die, boldly declaring our confidence that we will spend eternity with our Savior.

Is the Church the house of God? Could the Temple contain God? Where does He live? Where does God work? What does it mean to defile or desecrate the Church? Pastor Mark Fontecchio wrestles with these timeless issues in the book of Acts. The answers challenge the common understanding of men of every age.

Stephen reminds the Sanhedrin of the life of Moses to show that God worked in powerful ways outside of the Promised Land. Moses failed under his own strength, and once seasoned by God he became a great deliver for the people of promise.

In the life of Moses, we find guidance for today. Moses learned to dare to forsake his own plans for God’s. Study Acts 7:20-37 with Bible Teacher Mark Fontecchio on Return to the Word. Teaching God's Word and advancing the message of His amazing grace one verse at a time.

Jesus Christ was victorious over death. One day every believer in Christ will receive a new glorified body like that of our Savior. At the Rapture of the Church our bodies will be changed. We can look to Scripture and learn some about what these bodies will be like. Will we know our loved ones? Will we be able to eat? What will we look like? Bible Teacher Mark Fontecchio answers these questions in this dramatic message from 1 Corinthians 15.

Come grow in your faith and knowledge of the book of 1 Corinthians. Teaching God's Word and advancing the message of His amazing grace one verse at a time.
