Start Over Creator McEachern, Alton H. Subject Communication

1. SEBTS Chapel - Alton H. McEachern April 8, 1986

Description:
Alton H. McEachern was the pastor at First Baptist Church in Greensboro, North Carolina and was a graduate from Southern Seminary. The service begins with organ music (0:00-0:59). Prayer concerns are shared with the congregation and there is a moment of prayer (1:00-4:08). Alton H. McEachern is introduced as the chapel speaker (4:09-5:20). McEachern speaks about the miracle of communication (5:21-8:13). He shares that words are the most common form of communication, which are magnificent tools that can bring hurt and build up (8:14-12:22). McEachern shares a personal anecdote to illustrate that communication is a problem internationally, between those of different hierarchal roles, social statuses, and nations, and to show that the meaning of words may change depending on the situation (12:23-18:18). He argues that because words change meaning so often, new translations of the Bible are often needed for the new generations to understand it (18:19-19:20). McEachern says God has a problem with communicating His Spirit and nature with His people (19:21-24:12). McEachern closes the service in a word of prayer (24:13-24:34).
