Charles Midkiff was pastor of First Baptist Church in Greenville, KY and a SEBTS Trustee. The service opens with a word of prayer (00:00-01:09).

Midkiff concludes his sermon by giving a story about when President Lolley visited his family in a time of need, and he thanks the Southeastern community for their love and generosity (30:12-36:14).
