16. SEBTS Chapel - Robert H. Culpepper October 19, 1988

Description:
Robert H. Culpepper was Professor of Theology at SEBTS. Culpepper is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:07). A hymn is played (0:08-5:11). A word of prayer is followed by Scripture reading from Ephesians 2:11-18 (5:12-9:19). The choir sings a song of worship (9:20-12:27). Culpepper speaks on prayer to the Father through Jesus the Son in the Spirit, focusing on Ephesians 2:18 (12:28-14:51). He expresses that we need to remember to whom our prayers are addressed: to God as the Father, which is a dominate image of God (14:52-17:00). To address God as “Father” is to recognize Him in a personal, accessible, and intimate relationship, not necessarily to identify Him as male (17:01-21:15). Culpepper then discusses that we need to understand God’s holiness and thus approach Him with reverence and awe (21:16-22:07). Despite our sinfulness, we can come to God through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus and through the Holy Spirit when we conform to God’s will (22:08-28:47). Jesus serves as our model of prayer and ultimately, the Holy Spirit makes us want to pray and teaches us how to pray (28:48-32:13). Culpepper closes with saying that Christian prayer, through Jesus and empowered by the Holy Spirit, is directed to one who is concerned about us (32:14-33:56). The benediction is given (32:44-33:56).

17. SEBTS Page Lecture - Fisher Humphries September 28, 1988

Description:
Fisher Humphries was Professor of Theology at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Fisher Humphries is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:14). A hymn is played (0:15-3:07). A word of prayer is given, followed by another hymn (cut) (3:08-5:53). Humphries is introduced, and his message focuses on the Bible and spiritual formation as the second part to his previous message on the church (5:54-8:02). Humphries greets his audience and reads from Psalm 119 (8:03-9:24). He speaks of four ways Scripture forms our lives: it provides a Christian worldview, offers the experience of God’s reality, demonstrates how to live in ordinary life and in a community, and reveals our true identities (9:25-10:07). Scripture is effective in providing believers with a worldview that can be based on astronomy and geography, psychology, and history (10:08-13:08). Scripture impacts the Christian worldview: it assures us that the world is not shapeless, informs us that the world is not how God intended it to be, protects us against idolatry, teaches us to live in anticipation, and transforms the meaning of history (13:09-19:50). Humphries then speaks of how Scripture is a catalyst for experiencing God with a focus on conversion, prayer, guidance and strength, friendships, and Biblical stories (19:51-24:49). Reading from Proverbs, Humphries reinforces how Scripture gives practical guidance for living our lives (24:50-33:03). He also discusses how Scripture illustrates how to live in a community (34:00-35:49). Lastly, Humphries mentions how Scripture reveals our true identities and finally closes with a summary of the four main points of his lecture (35:50-41:19). A word of prayer is given followed by a hymn (41:20-43:43).

Dr. William “Bill” Hull was a New Testament professor, dean, and provost at Southern Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, as well as the pastor of First Baptist Church of Shreveport, Louisiana.

Hall introduces his sermon by speaking about the familiarity of the Lord’s Prayer and that it tells us not only what to pray but also how to pray (12:07-13:35). Hull’s first point is that the Lord’s Prayer teaches to pray in the imperative (13:36-16:34). Hull’s second point is that the Lord’s Prayer has two parts, the first dominated by the pronouns of deity and the second dominated by “we petitions” (16:35-20:42). Hull’s third point is that the Lord’s Prayer is “to call the realities of heaven into the actualities of time” (20:43-25:28). Hull concludes his sermon by leading the audience in praying the Lord’s Prayer aloud (25:29-26:10).
