In this message Pastor Byron addresses the crucial question of how to know if the Spirit of God is actively working in a church and in individual lives, focusing on Acts chapter 2 as a measuring stick rather than relying on feelings. He provides in-depth teaching on the often-misunderstood doctrine of repentance, clarifying that biblical repentance means “to change one’s mind” about Christ rather than cleaning up one’s life before coming to Him, and he also announces his upcoming retirement from Mountain View Church to prioritize more time with family while continuing in ministry.

In this message Pastor Byron shares a powerful challenge to believers about standing boldly for Christ, drawing from Peter’s first sermon in Acts 2 where he proclaimed Jesus’s resurrection with supreme confidence. Using the analogy of political campaigns that passionately pursue their goals, Pastor Byron asks why Christians often lack the same boldness in sharing the gospel, encouraging listeners to develop confidence through understanding Christ’s resurrection, being equipped by the Holy Spirit, and proclaiming the truth at every opportunity.

In this message Pastor Byron explores how the birth of the church in Acts 2 connects to end-time events, examining Peter’s quotation of Joel 2 and what it reveals about “the last days” and “the day of the Lord.” He addresses the controversial question of whether Pentecost was the complete fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy, while emphasizing that God demonstrates His strength through our weakness and desires to display His power in our lives today.

In this message, Pastor Byron explores the birth of the church in Acts 2 and teaches on valuing what God designed for His church, beginning with an illustration about exclusive clubs to highlight how entrance to the church requires the precious blood of Christ.

In this message, Pastor Byron explores the significance of Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2, examining how this pivotal moment in church history serves as a model for spiritual maturity and Spirit-filled living today.

In this message Pastor Byron shares how believers can position themselves to experience the fullness of God’s Spirit and His blessing on their lives. Using Acts chapter 1 as the foundation, he identifies three essential attitudes believers need—expectant belief, expectant prayer, and expectant dependence—while also addressing the danger of placing unbiblical cultural expectations on one another rather than living as bondservants of Christ alone.

In this message Pastor Byron introduces a new study of the book of Acts, explaining why this book is essential for understanding both the early apostolic church and how Christians today can live stimulating, purposeful lives empowered by the Holy Spirit. He addresses the common criticism that many Christians experience a “ho-hum” faith and encourages believers to move beyond spiritual complacency by embracing the message of renewal, Spirit-filled living, and the assurance of Christ’s return.
