1. SEBTS Convocation - William Randall Lolley August 31, 1982

Description:
William Randall Lolley was the 3rd president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. The service begins with a word of prayer and organ music (00:00-02:40). President Randall Lolley declares the opening of 32nd academic years, and he gives two announcements about evening classes (02:41-04:41). The speaker delivers the Scripture readings from Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Leviticus 19:18, and Luke 10:25-37 (04:42-07:53). C. Michael Hawn is inducted into the faculty of Southeastern, and Lolley introduces the adjunctive and visiting faculty (07:54-11:29). Bob Spiggs, member of the financial development office, presents an award to a Southeastern alumnus for his financial giving to the seminary (11:30-14:44). Lolley announces the completion of renovations to the first floor of Binkley chapel, and Dean Morris Ashcraft gives a word of prayer (14:45-19:40). Lolley recognizes the architect who worked on the renovations, and a song of worship is performed (19:41-24:12). Lolley delivers a sermon with the focus text being Luke 10:25-37, and he urges the students of Southeastern to live up to the soul of the seminary by loving their neighbors in the same way the Samaritan loved the man who was robbed and beaten to near death (24:13-44:30). Ashcraft ends the service with a word of prayer and a benediction (44:31-45:27).

2. SEBTS Chapel - Jack Stearns October 13, 1988

Description:
Jack Stearns was the Director of the Mid-Atlantic Region of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education. Stearns is announced as the Chapel speaker (0:00-0:14). A hymn is played (0:14-3:15). A word of prayer is given, followed by a hymn (3:16-6:40). Guest visitors for Clinical Pastoral Education Day are welcomed and Stearns is introduced (6:41-11:36). A hymn is played (cut) (11:37-11:42). Reading from Luke 10:25-37, Stearns focuses on the “good neighbor” image of ministry (11:43-16:28). He speaks of the internal difference of the three neighbors from the Scripture that caused the different responses to the injured man (16:29-17:30). Perhaps the priest and the Levite were preoccupied with their cultural duties or other matters (17:31-20:34). The Samaritan showed compassion, implying that he was a man willing to care and a man who had experienced brokenness (20:35-22:03). Stearns then mentions that we all have a little of the priest and Levite in us (22:04-23:37). He also suggests that maybe the Samaritan was fulfilling the law to love God and others by showing compassion (23:38-24:05). Believers have a common bond that causes us to come to together to answer God’s call to ministry (24:06-26:27). Stearns ends with a final word on the good neighbor image: we are one body that God calls on to minister to others (26:28-28:21). A word of prayer concludes the service (28:22-30:37).
