1. SEBTS Chapel - William H. Willimon February 1, 1989

Description:
Dr. William H. Willimon was Minister to the University and Professor of the Practice of the Christian Ministry at Duke University in Durham, NC. Dr. Willimon is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:20). Hymns are played (0:21-4:50). A song of worship is sung (cut) (4:51-5:14). Community concerns are recognized (5:15-7:14). A word of prayer is given (7:15-10:20). Dr. Willimon is introduced (10:21-11:41). He begins his sermon by reading from Luke 4, the account of the temptation of Jesus (11:42-13:24). Dr. Willimon speaks of how we can all identify with Jesus and His temptation, however, it is hard to understand why Jesus stood there and quoted Scripture instead of showing Satan a sign that He is the Son of God (13:25-17:05). We all want signs from God proving that He is with us (17:06-21:33). When we seek for Jesus to prove who He is through signs, we become like Satan the tempter (21:34-28:59). Dr. Willimon explains that Jesus must resist our “lustful demands” that attempt to make Him who we want Him to be so that He can be the God that we do not deserve (29:00-30:51). Dr. Willimon concludes with blessing the congregation (30:52-31:07). A hymn closes the service (31:08-33:35).
