- Description:
- The service begins with a general command to praise God (00:00-00:07), a prayer (00:08-02:08), and an introduction for the speaker, John Allen Easley, from Wake Forest College (02:09-03:20). He begins by reading selected verses from the end of John 6 (03:21-05:20) and opening appreciations for being in chapel at SEBTS (05:21-06:59). He then mentions different ways this tenth anniversary of SEBTS might be celebrated, according to reflecting on the past, looking forward to the future, or reaffirming convictions for the present. The latter is the view which Easley attributes most importance (07:00-07:58). According to the text of John 6 in light of John’s Gospel, His disciples needed to look beyond the events of Jesus’ ministry to Jesus Himself as the substance to which those events point (07:59-12:23). This “looking deeper” may cause us to reflect on both our churches and ourselves, and living for Christ will require us to show courage and dedication, promising eternal life and peace (12:24-21:21). He closes his time in prayer (21:22-22:36).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 42:1-2 (00:00-00:21) and prayer (00:22-01:52). Information about interactions between students and faculty is shared (01:53-03:35), and a brief introduction/welcome is given for Henry Riley, the speaker, as well as those present with him from Duke Divinity School (03:36-04:25). He reads from Mark 8:34-38 as his sermon text (04:26-06:16) before praying (06:17-07:14). He begins by speaking about different types of anxiety, highlighting the most severe and costly as the anxiety of the cross—the anxiety of losing one’s life in hope it will be raised up again (07:15-12:00). This anxiety of the cross calls for one to totally deny self, to participate in Jesus Christ, and to live worthy of the gospel, even Jesus Christ Himself (12:01-18:12). He ends his time in prayer (18:13-18:55), and choral music closes the service (18:56-24:22).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Isaiah 55:1-2 (00:00-00:38), prayer (00:47-03:37), and the reading of 2 Peter 1:1-11 (03:48-06:00). No introduction was given for Thomas Albert Bland, but he was Associate Professor of Christian Sociology and Ethics. He begins by talking about the importance of the “frontier” in American history, taking note of the race for space but placing importance on the frontier of the inner man (06:01-08:13). Bland says that Peter, in this text, focuses on Faith’s Frontier, identifying seven qualities of life which are to be added to one’s faith; he was not academic but practical, having been personally impacted by the life and ministry of Jesus Christ (08:14-11:37). Bland then continues walking through the list mentioned in the text one item at a time, building upon the foundation of faith. He notes that faith and knowledge go together, so long as knowledge has self-control so that it does not puff one up in conceit (11:38-19:06). He ends his time in prayer (19:07-19:46).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 34:8 (00:00-00:21). An introduction is given for Dr. Ernest Mayfield Ligon, who was the Director of the Character Research Project at Union College in Schenectady, NY, as he delivers the second meditation in this series on the Lord’s Prayer (00:22-00:44). Dr. Ligon begins by reading Matthew 6:5-13 and offering some opening words (00:45-02:55). He recaps from the first meditation briefly (02:56-03:47). His message this day focuses on what you will do, based on verses 10-12. He outlines that most discovery comes from creative conflict and not from individual discovery (03:48-11:05). Next, he posits that we could never learn enough to worry God in His omniscience; while we could never know more than God, we should always seek to learn more, for we will never know everything (11:06-15:53). He views verse 11 as the realistic part of the prayer (15:54-17:58). He views verse 12 in this light as well (17:59-19:36). His last petition is on the words “lead us” in verse 13, which he views as communicating the willing, humble attitude which people need if they tend to have a “self-made” mentality (19:37-22:22). He ends in prayer (22:23-24:12), and the service ends with the singing of Numbers 6:24-26 (24:13-25:26).

- Description:
- The service opens with the reading of an excerpt from the poem “The Marshes of Glynn” by Sidney Lanier (1842-1881), (00:00-00:32) the singing of hymn #263, (00:33-01:16) the mention of responsive reading of Selection 88 entitled “Victorious Assurance,” and an opening prayer (01:17-04:21). An introduction is given for William R. Steininger, the Chaplain of Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh, NC for fifteen years, concerning his education, chaplaincy, and ministerial background (04:22-05:13). Steininger offers reading Romans 12 as an introduction to his message which is titled “The Greatest Journey” (05:14-07:07). In describing life as a journey, Steininger begins by saying our experiences are all similar yet unique, mostly ordinary yet sometimes special (07:08-17:24). He describes all of life as beginning with a question mark of discovery and ending with an exclamation point of finding what was searched for. He finishes his message by saying that the greatest thing we are searching for in this life is God, and He has been revealed in the person of Jesus Christ (17:25-22:14). He ends his time in prayer to God (22:15-23:02), and instrumental music ends the service (23:03-23:40).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Luke 1:68 (00:00-00:09) and prayer (00:10-00:46). Then the congregation reads aloud a responsive reading taken from Psalm 84 (00:47-02:37). An introduction is given for John M. Lewis, the pastor of First Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC, outlining his educational and ministerial background; he has been introduced as the “thinking man’s Baptist” (02:38-04:03). John M. Lewis begins his message by reading the Phillip’s translation of 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (04:04-05:07), and his message is “Wanted: A New Theological Map for Baptists” (05:08-06:32). He believes that Baptists have stressed certain distinctives at the depreciation or neglect of others, and his message centers on balancing Baptist distinctives for effective future ministry (06:33-08:56). Firstly, Baptists have emphasized individuality within Christianity; while Christianity is personal, it is not private but communal. He urges that the separation of church and state in America has led to a separation of secular and sacred, causing the church’s work in the public square to become that much more difficult to manifest (08:57-17:21). Secondly, Baptists have emphasized “once saved, always saved,” which Lewis argues has wreaked havoc on our ethical responsibility and has overlooked the progressive and futuristic realities of our salvation (“being saved” and “will be saved”). He also discusses the Baptist view of denouncing the Catholic practice of transubstantiation in Communion while overlooking our practical transubstantiational view of salvation, wherein we believe we are changed metaphysically but not in reality (17:22-22:47). Thirdly, Baptists have emphasized that Jesus Christ is Lord of the local church, but we have denied practically that “the body of Christ” refers to all of our brothers and sisters everywhere in the world (22:48-26:05). Lastly, Lewis suggests that the Baptist exaltation of the Bible as the “Word of God” needs to find its practical and theological home in the person of Jesus Christ, who is “the Word of God” (26:06-28:09); he also suggests that the Bible will be “a dead book” to others until they understand that the Bible is not just telling how God spoke and worked then, but also now in our own time (28:10-32:33). He then closes in prayer (32:34-33:31).

- Description:
- The service opens with a reading from a poem by nineteenth century theologian, Walter Rauschenbush, entitled “The Little Post and Gate” (00:00-01:31) and a time of silent prayer to God before John Wright’s “Prayer for Theological Students” is vocalized (01:32-05:04). An introduction is given for the Reverend C. Wade Goldston, Chaplain at Louisburg College in Louisburg, NC, graduate of both Duke Divinity School and Yale University, and a pastor in North Carolina. He was currently returning to SEBTS to teach a course in Methodist Polity, and he was a member of the North Carolina Commission on Town and Country (05:05-05:51). Goldston intends to share from his own Christian witness (05:52-07:58). Firstly, Goldston mentions that we are not only made right with God by faith in Jesus, but we also continue to live by faith (07:59-11:33), ministering with our lives by faith (11:34-12:42). Secondly, he mentions that we can depend upon God to guide us and provide for us (12:43-15:51). Thirdly, God causes everything to work together for good to those who love Him (15:52-19:53). Finally, Goldston shares that we get what we give out (19:54-24:06). He then closes the message in prayer (24:07-24:55).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 130:6-7 (00:00-00:34), prayer (00:35-02:40), and a brief responsive reading (02:41-03:06). There was no introduction for Raymond Bryan Brown, but he was the Academic Dean of SEBTS and Professor of New Testament Interpretation. His sermon text centers on the freedom which Christians have in Christ, from Galatians 5:1 (03:07-06:23). Even though we as humans have the tendency to desire to show our mastery over certain areas of life, if freedom were up to us, it would never come at all. Freedom must not come from us, but it must come to us from Another (06:24-07:21). While we do not enjoy agreeing with the truth that we are not able to save, and while we admit an inward bend to roam away from the Living God, we must confess that we are truly free when we live by faith and love and are bound to Christ in dependence and obedience (07:22-14:49). There is a brief period of silence (14:50-15:24) before Brown ends his time in prayer (15:25-15:49).

- Description:
- The service begins with the mention of the recent tragic death of Norris Wilson, a SEBTS graduate from Henderson (00:00-00:38), followed by a reading of Psalm 34:1-3 (00:38-01:00). No introduction was given for Wilbur Todd, but he was Business Manager at SEBTS. He speaks on the individual familiarities of the two words “soul” and “power” in the world (01:01-03:47). He then considers the words together, “soul power,” to mean for the Christian one’s “strength of mind and heart” (03:48-04:21). Some say that God’s power can work in and through us only if we surrender to the point where this is possible; this view leads to a mindless, robotic obedience which is unlike the way God created us to love Him (04:22-06:37). Some effectively believe, while they may not say, they are self-sufficient, without need of Christian discipleship in their own lives (06:38-08:03). Todd argues that for most Christians, these two views are both present but balanced. Our soul power comes from the indwelling presence of the living Christ (08:04-12:09). He ends his time in prayer (12:10-12:39).
