- Description:
- The service begins with prayer (00:00-01:45). Olin Trivette Binkley, the second president of SEBTS, addresses this chapel congregation according to its founding and direction, based in 2 Timothy 3:17 (01:46-06:57). He discusses that “man of God” was used of Moses and is used today to refer to the quality of life of those in Christian leadership. Two factors are noticed about authentic ministers for Jesus Christ (06:58-09:12). Firstly, a mature (complete) minister has a personal knowledge of God accompanied by a concern for the distresses of His fellows (09:13-12:19). Secondly, a mature minister has a knowledge of men, including an understanding of their patterns of behavior as well as their potentialities, through intercessory prayer (12:20-25:25). He ends his time in prayer (25:26-26:05).

- 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).

- M. Clay Warf was the Pastor of the Temple Baptist Church in Durham, North Carolina. The service begins with organ music (0:00-3:51). There is a Scripture reading as a call to worship and a moment of prayer (3:52-5:38). Dr. Clay Warf is introduced as the chapel speaker (5:39-7:55). The choir sings an anthem (7:56-10:18). Warf expresses his gratitude for his friends and for the opportunity to speak (10:19-11:11). He asks the congregation to turn in their Bibles to II Timothy 4:9-18 (11:12-13:00). Warf shares about his ministerial career, the culture of his church, and his work life (13:01-18:30). Warf finds comfort in knowing that Paul also faced trials in his ministry and church building, especially with Demas deserting him (18:31-32:47). Warf concludes the service with a prayer of benediction (32:48-33:56).
