- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Dr. Daniel Akin welcomes listeners and introduces Jim Shaddix (0:00-0:35). Shaddix asks the congregation to turn to Matthew 28; he focuses on defining discipleship (0:36-3:46). He decides to “unpackage” the essence of discipleship: there are three components (3:47-6:34). First, discipleship begins with accepting Jesus as the Son of God and the Savior of the world, but one must be careful in celebrating because this is only the beginning of discipleship (6:35-13:09). Second, knowing that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior involves the Cross, for the Gospel is incomplete without the Cross (13:10-21:27). The Cross is part of the Gospel that we cannot live without, as it is the power of salvation (21:28-23:40). Shaddix reveals that in addition to realizing that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior who died on the Cross, a third component to discipleship exists (23:41-24:04). This key component is “denying oneself and unashamedly living for Jesus” (24:05-30:37). Taking up one’s cross leaves no room for things of tomorrow; we must only follow Jesus (30:38-33:30). All three components define the true essence of discipleship, and thus, are all required to achieve discipleship (33:31-36:07). Shaddix concludes by saying that discipleship centers on carrying one’s cross as a follower, not just a friend, of Jesus (36:08-37:27). He then gives a word of prayer (37:28-38:07). Dr. Akin gives a final word (38:07-39:25).

- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Shaddix begins with asking the congregation to turn to Acts 6, focusing on ministry (0:00-6:22). The passage’s theme is church growth, but Shaddix delves deeper and discusses how the New Testament church overcame challenges to growth (6:23-11:36). The New Testament church leaders embraced their roles as stewards of God’s Word (11:37-12:31). Shaddix presents three answers to overcoming challenges of church growth (12:32-13:17). First, as a living organism, the church must grow by the Gospel; the church must be rooted by the Gospel (13:18-19:29). Second, as faithful stewards, we must protect the witness of the Gospel (19:30-23:52). Shaddix reveals that the New Testament church leaders protected two primary agents for Gospel advancing: prayer and preaching (23:53-24:19). Just as the New Testament leaders, we need to understand that prayer is how we unleash the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives (24:20-29:22). Regarding preaching, the New Testament church leaders referred to it as “distributing” the Gospel as they physically went out into secular places and spoke the Word (29:23-35:05). They grounded themselves by prayer while they distributed the Gospel to others (35:06-36:09). Third, we must share the work of the Gospel (36:10-39:07). Shaddix speaks about why the New Testament church leaders shared the Gospel: to minister to not just the poor, but also to all people so that they can spread the Word (39:08-46:00). Everyone who are saved are called to share the Gospel (46:01-46:22). Shaddix closes with three challenges for the congregation: 1) make time for prayer, 2) assign tasks for people in your church, and 3) lead your church to care for the disenfranchised (46:23-49:01). He gives a word of prayer (49:02-49:53).

- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Dr. Daniel Akin welcomes listeners and introduces Jim Shaddix (0:00-0:32). Shaddix asks the congregation to turn to Ezra 8 and thanks the Seminary for allowing him to speak (0:33-1:40). His sermon focuses on spreading the Word without a backup plan, hence the title “Ministering Without a Backup Plan” (1:41-2:25). He reads from Ezra 8 (starting from verse 21) and gives a story about his unsuccessful attempt at growing a church (2:26-6:13). Shaddix describes two types of economies, with the first economy being one where growth/numbers mean success (6:14-7:09). The second economy is one similar to Ezra’s economy where no backup plan exists, where we have to depend on God showing up and revealing His glory (7:10-8:56). Shaddix provides three answers to what ministering without a backup plan looks like (8:57-9:13). First, it involves taking risks for the sake of God’s call to us to spread the Gospel: titles and salaries are not secure when we answer His call (9:14-16:16). Jesus talks of being prepared to give up everything in order to follow Him, but He will always be there by our sides (16:17-22:08). Second, having no backup plan is evident when we are jealous for God’s honor, when we desire for His glory to be shown (22:09-32:31). Third, it involves us humbling ourselves in desperate prayer, depending on God’s strength and crying out for God to show His glory (32:32-37:51). Shaddix concludes with saying that it is hard to minister without a backup plan and gives the congregation two challenges (37:02-38:37). He tells them to “make ministry moves that require God to show up” and to “make sacrificial prayer and fasting” (38:38-39:57). He then provides a word of prayer (39:58-41:07). Dr. Akin gives a final word (41:08-42:25).

- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Shaddix begins his sermon by reading from the book of Haggai with a focus on the question, “are you in hot pursuit of the effects and influences of the Holy Spirit in your life? (0:00-4:25). He reads about the time when the prophet Haggai beckons Israel to return to rebuilding the Temple (4:26-6:12). He tells the congregation he is going to address three questions: what is the relevance of this passage, what is the problem presented, and what is the solution? (6:13-6:32). To answer the first question, Shaddix explains that the Temple represents Christ’s presence, the laborers represent us as Christ’s followers, and the laborers’ lack of pursuing the rebuilding of the Temple represents our lack of pursuing the effects of the Holy Spirit in our lives (6:33-13:43). He states that if we presume the experience of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we cannot fully experience the full effects (13:44-14:37). Shaddix then presents the problem, which is that God’s people paused their work (14:38-15:22). Three reasons exist as to why they stopped working that can be applied to why today we presume the effects of the Holy Spirit (15:23-16:01). The first reason is that our enemies deter us from our pursuit (16:02-17:31). The second reason involves being discouraged by the lack of results in our ministry efforts (17:32-19:45). Allowing excess and pursuits of comfort to distract us is the third reason (19:46-22:52). Shaddix provides a three-component solution with the first component involving obeying the Word of God and returning to our work as His laborers (22:53-24:37). The second part of the solution is to fear the discipline of God (24:38-27:54). Rely on the grace of God comprises the third component (27:55-29:44). Shaddix concludes with how the solution can lead to our hot pursuit of the effects of Christ’s presence in our lives (29:45-31:53). He gives a word of prayer (31:54-32:37).

- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Dr. Daniel Akin welcomes listeners and provides the Seminary’s mission statement (0:00-0:32). A Scripture reading from Matthew 7 is given (0:33-0:49). Shaddix begins his sermon, which focuses on the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12) (0:50-5:39). There are three components he will discuss relating to the rule being used for a Great Commission School: 1) the rule itself, 2) the relationships guided by the rule, and 3) the reason for the rule (5:40-8:30). Multiple versions of the rule in history exist (8:31-10:30). However, these versions differ from Jesus’ version because they all are negative statements (10:31-12:19). The rule has often been and continues to be stated as “do not unto others that which you would not do unto them,” and thus is used as a tool for self-protection and self-preservation (12:20-12:59). Jesus’ version serves as a positive and proactive guide on how we should treat others with no consideration of how they treat us (“do to others that which you would wish to be done to you”) (13:00-14:51). This rule is positive because it is inconsistent with the negativity of the other versions since God is the opposite of negativity (14:52-16:34). It is also inconsistent with the guilt of man: the popular versions encourage people to do nothing in order to fulfill the rule and hence have the end result of people being guilty of passivity (16:35-18:10). Jesus does not want a church where passivity is present, but a church that is active in its response to God’s call (18:11-20:49). Shaddix then refers to verses 7-11, as he discusses how the rule guides our relationships and how we are to practice righteous discrimination by first looking at our own sins before we can help others realize their sins (20:50-31:00). He presents the reason for the Golden Rule (“this is the law and the prophets”) and explains that Jesus was referring to Himself as He had come to fulfill the law and the prophets’ sayings in the Old Testament (31:01-36:50). He concludes by saying that Jesus came to treat us as He wished we would treat Him (36:51-38:59). Shaddix gives a word of prayer (39:00-40:07). Akin gives a final word (40:08-41:11).

- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Shaddix begins his sermon reading from 2 Timothy 1:15-18 (0:00-2:24). Just as Paul refers to spreading the Gospel as running a race, Shaddix compares the relay event in track and field to spreading the Gospel: passing on the baton is similar to passing on the Gospel to others (2:25-7:27). In his epistle, Paul writes to a struggling Timothy who is on the verge of quitting the race, but Paul encourages him not to desert the race (7:28-9:00). Shaddix states that everyone is called into the race to preserve the Gospel and pass it on to others (9:01-9:38). To help Timothy, Paul provides examples of “runners” who deserted the race and who were devoted to it (9:39-12:16). Those that walked away from completing the race, deserted the Gospel (12:17-13:32). However, Paul mentions one man, Onesiphorus, who sacrificed his life to spread the Gospel, and Paul encourages Timothy to be like this man (13:33-18:16). Shaddix then presents Paul’s three instructions to Timothy with the first one telling him to depend on God’s grace for strength in this race (18:17-26:36). The second instruction is to develop devoted disciple-makers who will continue to spread the Gospel (26:37-28:46). Shaddix explains that discipleship is key to spreading the Gospel and that there will always be someone who desires to pass on the Gospel baton (28:47-31:28). The third instruction is to share in the sufferings that comes with spreading the Gospel (31:29-33:58). Shaddix speaks of how Paul is trying to tell Timothy that sharing the Word is not an easy task; there will be hardships (33:59-35:42). He then gives Paul’s three illustrations in the second chapter of 2 Timothy that demonstrate how we are to fulfill the Gospel race: denial, discipline, and diligence (35:43-36:13). Like a soldier, we must deny ourselves certain things in life (36:14-37:02). Passing on the Gospel to others requires discipline—rules must be followed (37:03-37:19). We must be diligent in this race as it can be tiresome work (37:20-38:18). Shaddix makes the congregation aware of not letting gifted people miss the opportunity of running the Gospel race because they were not provided with a stable “baton” (38:19-39:39). He concludes with asking the congregation to pray to God to give them the strength to successfully pass on the Gospel baton (39:40-40:20).

- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Dr. Daniel Akin welcomes listeners and provides the Seminary’s mission statement (0:00-0:31). Shaddix’s sermon focuses on worrying less about answering God’s call to mission (0:32-3:38). He states that anxiousness arises usually due to the uncertainty of being financially secure in ministry work (3:39-6:07). He presents nine points on worry in his sermon, “Worry-less Ministry,” which is based on the passage in Matthew 6:25-34 (6:08-7:02). The first point is the principle Jesus discusses that involves God promising to take care of His children’s needs in order for them to fully occupy themselves with pursuing Him and His kingdom (7:03-9:00). Shaddix defines worry in the Bible as being distracted from absorbing oneself with God (9:01-14:32). He then discusses four distractions, with the first one being material things (14:33-14:44). He uses the parable of the seeds in Mark 4 to convey that we become absorbed with satisfying our material needs (14:45-16:49). The second distraction is service, and Shaddix refers to Martha’s anxiousness of serving people instead of sitting at Jesus’ feet with Mary in Luke 10:38 (16:50-18:47). Another distraction is one’s spouse: Paul says in 1 Corinthians 7:32 that married people are focused more on worldly things than God due to them obtaining more responsibilities that come with marriage (18:48-24:08). Suffering is the fourth distraction that can consume our time (verse reference is Philippians 4:4-9) (24:09-25:54). Shaddix proclaims that Jesus will take care of you so you do not have to worry and can give all your attention to God (25:55-26:43). However, we have become more absorbed in material needs and have placed answering God’s call to minister second in our lives (26:44-27:18). Next, Shaddix gives three applications, with the first one being to “minister for more than maintenance,” for more than just meeting your needs (27:19-29:36). Acting like a child and allowing God to take care of you is the second application (29:37-33:29). Do not try to be God is the third application: we must let God have full control in our lives (33:30-34:13). Shaddix ends his sermons with an exhortation to seize the day by applying the principle of not worrying (34:14-35:55). He gives a word of prayer (35:56-36:32). Akin gives a final word (36:33-37:35).
