  • SEBTS Chapel - Max Eller October 13, 1965

    Description:
    The service begins with the reading of Isaiah 40:31 (00:00-00:18), followed by instrumental music (00:19-02:00). An opening prayer is offered to God (02:10-04:38). An introduction is given for the Reverend Max Eller. He was a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy Chaplaincy. He graduated from Wake Forest College and SEBTS in 1956, and he began his chaplaincy in 1958. Before this, he served as a pastor in North Carolina (04:39-05:31). He begins with general thanks for the opportunity to speak and then reads Matthew 10:1, 5-8 (05:32-07:29). His message centers on the following two aspects which he considers to be most important in the ministry of the gospel: the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus and the compassionate ministry which we must carry out as we proclaim that ministry in the world (07:30-07:52). He transitions into a story about Count Zinzendorf’s prayerful reflections on the work of Christ and the response we will have for Christ as a result (07:53-09:25), and he uses that story to recapture his previous two aspects of gospel ministry (09:26-12:24) and place an emphasis on the cross of Christ in gospel ministry (12:25-15:22). Considering what we will do for Christ in response to His death on the cross for us, Max Eller quotes Matthew 28:19 and the opening passage from Matthew 10, going on to place the question in specific relevant contexts around the world (15:23-22:41). He then closes with prayer (22:42-23:11), and the service ends with singing (23:12-24:00). The last minute of the audio is silent (24:01-25:04).

  • SEBTS Chapel - Alan Compton November 2, 1965

    Description:
    The service begins with the reading of Isaiah 40:31 and prayer (00:00-03:24), followed by announcements (03:25-9:59) and an introduction for Alan Compton concerning his education and ministry. He was a missionary and a representative of Radio and Television Works of Missionary Fields of Latin America (10:00-11:37). His message focuses on discipleship and the Great Commission, beginning by saying the Great Commission has lost emphasis in many Southern Baptist churches in America. Even its individualized interpretation over the years has resulted in talking about “what we are doing” instead of “what God is doing” (11:38-15:23). His text is taken from Acts 1, and he warns that discipleship has become the job of those called into professional ministry, when it is the necessary responsibility and call of God for every Christian. We can only have compassion for the world by being disciples of Jesus Christ, and we must be willing to go wherever God may call us (15:24-25:17). Obeying the Great Commission becomes less about what you do and more about the witness you become in Christ (25:18-27:29). We cannot depend on enthusiasm and faith by themselves to carry out this work, but we must depend on the Holy Spirit (27:30-34:43). He ends the service in prayer, but the words seem to cut out before he is done speaking (34:44-35:51).
