Guest Speaker: Byron Yawn
Byron (a.k.a. “Boo”) Yawn is the senior pasto
r of Community Bible Church in Nashville TN and is the author of Well Driven Nails, which examines the preaching ministries of John MacArthur, RC Sproul, and John Piper.
Byron was raised in the deep south—Mississippi to be exact. Through the faithful witness of his newly converted parents, he came to Christ as a teenager. God’s grace transformed Byron’s life. What was once an aimless, hopeless, rebellious teenager became a monument of God’s mercy and love.
Byron and his wife Robin grew up down the street from each other. They were high school sweethearts and had the special blessing of coming to faith during the same period of their lives. Their marriage has been about the Gospel from the very beginning. They have three children; Lauren, Wade and Blake. They arrived at Community Bible Church in early 2001. During their ten years they have seen the church flourish under a continuing commitment to expository preaching.
Today, the basic commitments of Byron’s ministry still guide everything he does. The tremendous pressure upon today’s pastor to stay “relevant” leads many pastors to adopt the latest evangelical fad. Byron’s heart is to stay basic. In his own words, “The most relevant aspect of our message will never make sense to the world. The Cross is an offensive thing. The Cross is the only thing.”
“For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2)
