1. SEBTS Chapel - James R. Moseley September 30, 1969

Description:
There is silence (00:00-00:54) before the service opens in prayer (00:55-02:50). There is an introduction for Dr. James R. Moseley concerning his educational, working, and missional background. He was a medical missionary to Nigeria and became Seminary Physician, presenting his address entitled “My Personal Testimony” (02:51-05:12). He begins with cordialities and general information about his medical service at SEBTS (05:13-08:28). He admits not to know anything about theology or about church polity, but he intends to testify to God’s work in his life as he can best interpret it to be so (08:29-09:13). He was first called to missions in 1948, but he fought it and did not fully surrender to it until he heard a sermon about how he could make his best contribution to life (09:14-15:50). He worked with the Foreign Mission Board (now the International Mission Board) to go to Nigeria as a medical missionary, and he spends time telling key stories of his time there which impacted his life (15:51-27:47). The original speaker then comments on Dr. Mosely’s remarkable character traits to show even more of his authenticity (27:48-28:30) before concluding the service in prayer (28:31-28:54). Another prayer is offered in the audio (29:26-30:20).

2. SEBTS Missionary Day Address - R. Paul Caudill December 7, 1961

Description:
The service begins in prayer (00:00-03:06), and the speaker, R. Paul Caudill, was introduced as the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Memphis, TN, according to his educational and ministerial background (03:07-05:00). He says in this missionary address that the greatest danger that we face today is the blindness caused by materialism, and he gives examples of this from various countries (05:01-16:42). His word of hope comes from the Apostle Paul in Romans 1:14-15 (16:43-17:51). His first word has to do with acknowledgement of our debt which we owe to the world, namely, that the gospel should be proclaimed among the nations, withstanding the great price we must pay if we are to go to them (or not) (17:52-30:57). He mentions some modern missionary statistics (30:58-38:24). He closes with a challenge for his audience to actually obey Jesus’s command to “go” to the nations with the gospel (38:25-49:00), and he ends his time in prayer (49:01-51:10).

3. SEBTS Chapel - Clarence Griffin November 5, 1965

Description:
The service begins with the overlapping audio of the ending of a prayer and the introduction of Clarence Griffin, concerning his educational, ministerial, and missional background in Indonesia (00:00-01:03). He begins with gratefulness for the opportunity to speak (01:04-02:15) by reading Matthew 4:18-22 and telling a fishing story to relate to Jesus's call to fish for men. He explains that, from Matthew 5:13-16, we are called to also be the salt and light of the world, preserving those who are perishing and warning those who roam in darkness of the imminent Danger about them (02:16-07:42). In a world which desires peace where there is none, we must not be worriers but warriors for Christ (07:43-13:42). Griffin proceeds to read the story of Gideon from Judges 7, outlining two aspects of the victory of the 300. Firstly, God wanted to make sure His people gave Him the glory for the victory instead of themselves, and secondly, God wanted to increase His people's faith in Him (13:43-15:38). We cannot win the world by our own power, but we must fully depend on the power of the Holy Spirit (15:39-20:50). He ends his time in prayer, (20:51-21:51) and the service ends with a choral closing (21:52-22:17).

4. SEBTS Chapel - Robert Cook Briggs November 29, 1961

Description:
The service begins with the reading of a poem (00:00-00:40) and prayer (00:41-04:45). 2 Corinthians 5:11-17 is read and discussed briefly (04:46-07:00). There is a brief time of singing and worship (07:01-11:19). There is no introduction for the speaker, Dr. Robert Cook Briggs, but he was Professor of New Testament Interpretation at SEBTS. The notion of a personal testimony in conjunction with 2 Corinthians 5:17 is discussed (11:20-15:34). The “newness” of the Christian situation is Paul’s emphasis, and it can evoke different kinds of responses (15:35-18:00). In Paul’s new life, anxiety, worry, and distress all played a crucial role by causing him to cast himself onto Christ and other Christians (18:01-26:37). He ends his time with prayer (26:38-27:00).
