1. SEBTS Chapel - Robert H. Culpepper February 21, 1989

Description:
Robert H. Culpepper was Professor of Theology. Alan Sasser, pastor of Greystone Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC, is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:15). A hymn is played (0:16-3:53). Psalm 34:1-3 is recited (3:54-4:16). A hymn is played (4:17-6:48). Mark 3:31-35 and 10:28-30 are the Scripture readings (6:49-8:14). A word of prayer is given (8:15-9:20). A male soloist sings a song (9:21-11:49). Dr. Robert H. Culpepper announces that he will be replacing Alan Sasser who is sick and speaks on church life and family (11:50-16:15). Christian life is fellowship with God and family; it is not a life of solitude (16:16-16:29). Dr. Culpepper provides Scriptural basis for the concept of the church being a family of God (16:30-21:26). He recalls his mission family in Japan (21:27-23:48). He then discusses how the church family is responsible for providing life, promoting evangelism, and offering spiritual nourishment (23:49-27:24). The church family also establishes Christian value systems, provides renewal as a refuge, and serves as a place of acceptance (27:25-30:40). Dr. Culpepper reiterates that Christian fellowship is what makes up a church family, allowing the family to share everything together—joys and burdens (30:41-31:27). He gives a story of a lady who had poor hearing, focusing on her statement: “those who have ears to hear let them hear” (31:28-33:38). He ends with the benediction (33:39-34:31).
