    SEBTS Convocation - Lewis Addison Drummond August 23, 1988
    Description:
    Lewis Addison Drummond was the fourth president of SEBTS. The announcement of President Lewis Drummond being the Chapel speaker for the Fall Convocation is made (0:00-0:08). Hymns are played (0:09-10:48). A word of prayer is given (10:49-12:11). Another hymn is played (cut) (12:12-12:19). Adjunct professors, new students, Vice President of External Affairs George Worrell, and guests are welcomed to the 38th academic year at SEBTS (12:20-16:28). George Worrell reads Colossians 2:1-7 as the day’s Scripture reading (16:29-17:48). C. Michael Hawn, Professor of Church Music, is given an award for faculty excellence (17:49-21:40). Drummond begins his sermon, based on Colossians 2:6-7 (21:41-23:04). He focuses on us, as the body of Christ, determining our destiny (23:05-24:34). Titling his sermon “Waking into Destiny,” Drummond speaks of walking in the spirit as a personal experience, but it can also be experienced on a corporate level (25:08-26:18). He informs that there are four principles within the passage from which he read, with one involving walking in godliness as individuals (26:19-31:17). He desires SEBTS to walk in godliness on a more collective level, as a whole (31:18-32:00). Drummond mentions the time when he felt God’s presence at another university and declares that walking in godliness can be the Seminary’s destiny as well (32:01-35:18). Two other principles he speaks of are “getting” and “giving:” since we have received so much from Christ, we should give back to others by sharing Jesus with them (35:19-40:17). Drummond wants SEBTS as an institution to give Jesus to others and to be rooted in the faith so that it can grow and mature as a place of prayer (40:18-47:46). The last principle is gratitude as we have so much to be thankful for in our lives (47:47-51:44). Drummond closes with a goal for SEBTS to glorify Christ by walking in godliness, giving as much as it has received, and showing gratitude (51:45-52:57). A word of prayer concludes the sermon (52:58-53:35).
