- Description:
- No introduction was given for Troy Bennett, but he was a missionary in Southern Asia and a former graduate of SEBTS. He recounts the cultural differnces between his home and the mission field, remembering what he and his family had to learn while there, including customs, language, etc. (00:00-05:58). He then talks about a bothering question, “What is a Christian,” concerning which he received affirmative answers from many who did not know themselves what it meant to be a Christian. Identifying as Christian here meant identifying against over 85% of the Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu population (05:59-12:52). He then speaks about his experience of those in the East viewing the American West as “Christian” (12:53-17:07). Bennett referred to the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5-7 to determine what it truly means to be a Christian (17:08-21:01) before closing his time in prayer (21:02-22:38). Organ music ends the service (22:39-24:42).

- Description:
- The service was organized by the Student Coordinating Council, and it begins with an announcement and a prayer (00:00-02:46), followed by singing (02:47-07:18). No introduction was given for the speaker, Paul Kercher, but he was a student at SEBTS. He speaks on “who is a Christian” and “what is a Christian,” speaking first about the different ways in which the word was commonly used in that day (07:19-09:59). He argues that a Christian must be spoken of in terms of the individual person, especially regarding one’s own three distinct (while not separate) parts: intellect, emotions, and will (10:00-13:52). He then says that a Christian is someone who experiences something, arguing that belief without experience is not enough (13:53-19:45). Finally, he says that a Christian is someone who practices his beliefs in his conduct, attributing the conversation to Christian ethics (19:46-23:56). He ends with two succinct definitions of a Christian (23:57-24:50) before ending in prayer (24:51-25:42).
