SEBTS student-lead chapel service focusing on prayer. This service featured multiple students discussing the importance, necessity, and the power of prayer. There were references to St. Augustine's Confessions, St. Francis of Assisi, Adoniram Judson, and Jesus as the service went on to display how valued the practice of prayer is in the Christian faith.
Dr. Garland A. Hendricks was Professor of Church-Community Development at SEBTS. Hendricks preached about how important it is to value prayer and pray for those who need it. He says that petitions for prayer are the most frequent questions a pastor will receive from people in the ministry. The audio recording is entirely Dr. Garland Hendricks, speaking from 0:00-15:30.
Willie Roberts, SEBTS student, gave this chapel address as part of a Student Coordinating Council Chapel. The service began with some opening scripture reading of Psalm 23 and John 4:31-36. Willie Roberts begins his prayer at 5:25 and immediately goes into his sermon afterwards. He speaks from 5:25-18:19. The title of his sermon was "Let Us Go Forward, Proclaiming the Gospel of Christ." Roberts speaks on how Christians must never stay still but instead should constantly press forward in the faith, recognizing that Jesus is always with us.
Rev. James O. Olaleye was from Abeokuta, Nigeria and was pastor of First Baptist Church in Fiditi-Ibadan, Nigeria from 1965-1969. Olaleye preached from 5:22-24:43. He preached on the importance of the Great Commission and how God is sovereign and works in the midst of the call to evangelize, a timely sermon preached here at SEBTS since SEBTS is a proud "Great Commission Seminary." Olaleye was studying at SEBTS at the time of this recording.
An unnamed female speaker begins the address entitled “Faith Dispersed” by telling a story about two creatures and taming. She transitions into how Jesus has tamed human hearts and how our evangelistic process must be a sort of taming (waiting some time while patiently pursuing someone’s trust) as we build bridges in love and understand their struggles in empathy (00:00-11:00). Next, James Y. Green follows up the initial address with an extension of the same title, “Faith Dispersed,” in which he calls his listeners to “jump in” to the world of God’s global mission (11:01-17:34). He mentions pre-requisites, essential presuppositions, and an understanding of suffering that we must have before we can “go out” on mission (17:35-19:13). We must understand not only who we are as Christians but also the social structures we are going into; we must know the presupposition that God is working actively in the world outside of the walls of a church building (19:14-24:59). Also, we must know the value of what we are sharing, not only in personal morality but also in concern for the world (25:00-35:21). We must go out in dispersion in response to the powerful sending God, even the Lord Jesus Christ; our dispersion must be done in relationship with the living God and in relationship with the community of the saints (35:22-40:46). Two reasons for dispersal are an assurance of the significance of being sons of God along with the concern for the world having been (and being) the objects of God’s concern (40:47-44:50). He ends his time in prayer (44:51-45:38), and the service ends with music (45:39-48:38).
The service begins with music and transitions into the first of two addresses, entitled “Trouble-Shooters For God.” In the first address, Eva Marie Kennard first outlines the purpose of the natural beauty of the created world as being designed to lead us to marvel at God, and she focuses next on being trouble-shooters for God. These people are those who find mechanical breakdowns and repair them to their original working order (00:00-11:39). In the second address entitled “The Trouble With the World,” Ross Coggins outlines this trouble with sin, displaying its effects in major world issues such as a hardening of the categories we have created (slavery and obesity), emotional disturbances (suicide and the need to go to war to prove strength), and metaphysical myopia (not knowing where God is or what He is doing). Coggins closes his message by speaking to a condition of the heart which he calls “passion fatigue” (11:40-44:51), and he ends his address in prayer (44:52-45:46). The service closes with music which gets louder toward 46:02.
The service begins with Joseph D. Coltrane introducing the Vice Chairman of the Student Coordinating Council, Leroy Fitz, and its Secretary Treasurer, Peggy Pore, leading the congregation in reading Psalm 24 (01:13-02:22) and prayer (02:31-04:56), respectively (00:00-04:56). The speaker states the Student Coordinating Council’s purpose (04:57-06:59), and various committee charimen speak. Firstly, Wayne Coley speaks as the dramatics committee head (07:00-08:24). Secondly, Jerry Robertson speaks as the athletics committee head (08:25-11:25). Thirdly, Gene Carnette speaks as the welfare committee head (11:26-13:13). Fourthly, Dianne White speaks as the chairman of the social committee (13:44-15:03). Fifthly, Ron Midlan speaks as the chairman of the ethics committee (15:15-17:47). Sixthly, Judy Henson speaks as the head of the music committee of the SCC (18:01-19:18). Next, Coltrane presents the committee’s student representatives to speak (19:19-22:37). Lastly, Coltrane presents some immediate challenges the SCC will be facing in the life of the seminary (22:43-25:54) before closing in prayer (25:55-27:03).
