1. SEBTS Chapel - William J. Fallis March 29, 1960

Description:
The service begins with the reading of Proverbs 3:19-20 (00:00-00:18) and prayer (00:19-03:30). An introduction is given for the speaker, Dr. William J. Fallis, who was Editor of Broadman Press (03:31-04:18). His Scripture lesson comes from Genesis 1:1-5 and 26-27, Psalm 104:13-15, Isaiah 40:18 and 22, and Psalm 103:22 (04:19-06:27). His message focuses on four secrets of God in our world which we may often take for granted: the secret of the star, displaying God’s order (06:28-12:17), the secret of the seed, displaying God’s variety (12:18-14:23), the secret of the child, displaying God’s companionship with man (14:24-16:26), and the secret of the cross, displaying God’s power and wisdom (16:27-18:39). He ends with prayer (18:40-19:54).

2. SEBTS Chapel - Welton Gaddy April 30, 1986

Description:
Dr. C. Welton Gaddy was a PhD graduate from Southern Seminary and was the campus minister at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. The service begins with piano music (0:00-3:00). There is a word of prayer (3:01-4:00). Thanks are given to those who have attended and supported the chapel services for the year (4:01-4:52). Welton Gaddy is introduced as the chapel speaker (4:53-6:04). The choir sings an anthem (6:05-9:14). Gaddy speaks of the reasons Zacchaeus was up a tree, both figuratively and literally (9:15-11:30). He uses Zacchaeus’s action to illustrate how in the present faith is becoming reason and routine, leading to a “passivity which breeds mediocrity” (11:31-13:05). Gaddy speaks of the word “hallelujah” being “ecstatic, unrestricted praise” and shares that one must not hold anything back in worshipping Jesus even if people worship in different ways (13:06-21:16). Gaddy argues, using the idea that if Zacchaeus would have held back his abandon, he may not have experienced Jesus, to show that all believers should not hold anything back lest they miss experiencing Jesus (21:17-26:29). Gaddy closes the service in a word of prayer (26:30-26:56).
