- Description:
- 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).

- Description:
- 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).

- Description:
- 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).
