In this message from Romans 14, Pastor Byron draws a parallel between legalistic churches and marriages, teaching about the dangers of control, shame-based expectations, and judging one another. He explains how extending grace in marriage means allowing your spouse the freedom to be different, trusting God to guide their life rather than trying to change them, and walking in the Spirit with a servant’s heart rather than seeking to control or shame your mate.

In this message from Proverbs, Pastor Byron addresses the barriers to effective communication in marriage, including the destructive patterns of belittling speech, failure to listen, hasty speaking, and harsh words. He teaches that communication is to marriage what blood is to the body, and emphasizes that listening is an art requiring eyes and soul, not just ears, while encouraging couples to establish an atmosphere of acceptance and plan intentional times for meaningful conversation.

In this message from 1 Corinthians 13, Pastor Byron concludes a three-part series on the language of love, examining the final characteristics of agape love including bearing all things, believing all things, hoping all things, enduring all things, and never failing. He challenges believers never to give up on their marriages, trusting that God can restore and strengthen even broken relationships, and reminds couples that marriage is a marathon requiring determination and a commitment to “choose us” above individual desires.

In this message Pastor Byron shares about the transformative impact of Judgment House, an evangelistic outreach where many people were receiving Christ, including seven foster children who came through crying and making decisions for Jesus. He then shifts to teaching on marriage, exploring five languages of love and focusing on how love should not keep records of wrongs, should not rejoice in unrighteousness, and should continue to keep on loving throughout all the stages of marriage.

In this message Pastor Byron continues his series on marriage, teaching from 1 Corinthians 13 about God’s language of love and what authentic agape love looks like in the marriage relationship. He explains the difference between the Corinthians’ correct doctrine and their lack of love, emphasizing that without love all spiritual gifts and service mean nothing, and explores the first properties of love including patience, kindness, not being jealous, not bragging, and not being arrogant.

In this message Pastor Byron addresses the role of the wife in marriage from Ephesians 5:22, teaching about biblical submission as arranging oneself under another with an attitude of selflessness and respect. He clarifies that submission doesn’t mean the husband is superior, explains that wives are to submit “as to the Lord” with the standard being “in everything” (unless it’s immoral or unbiblical), and emphasizes that the attitude should be one of genuine respect, not just outward compliance.

In this message Pastor Byron teaches on the role of the husband in marriage from Ephesians 5:25-33, explaining that husbands are called to love their wives with sacrificial love (like Christ loved the church), sanctifying love (helping her grow spiritually), caring love (meeting her needs), and nurturing love (being the spiritual leader). He challenges men to be the initiators of love in their marriage, to spend quality time with their wives, and to take leadership in the home with grace and understanding.

In this message Pastor Byron casts vision for Mountain View Church’s purpose statement: “to deploy Christians into the world with great commandment hearts and great commission lifestyles.” He teaches from Matthew 22 about what it means to truly love God with heart, soul, and mind—not just going through religious motions—and connects this to cultivating personal evangelism, investing in unbelievers, and growing Christians to maturity through teaching the whole counsel of God rather than focusing primarily on seeker-driven approaches.

In this message Pastor Byron concludes his summer series on Hebrews chapters 1-7, teaching about Christ as our perfect high priest after the order of Melchizedek. He explains that Jesus qualifies as our priest despite not being from the tribe of Levi because His priesthood is of a superior, eternal order—one who knows us intimately, loves us completely, and continually intercedes for us before the Father, unlike the Old Testament priests who died and had to be replaced.

In this message Pastor Byron teaches from Hebrews 6 about trusting God’s promises and growing in faith, using the illustration of Crowfoot who received a lifetime railroad pass but never used it—similar to Christians who know God’s promises but don’t claim them. He explains that God’s desire is for His children to mature, emphasizes the unchangeable nature of God’s promises confirmed by His oath, and describes Christian hope as an anchor of the soul that is sure and steadfast, illustrated through the testimony of Ray Ortland’s unwavering faith at his death.
