- 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).

- Description:
- Alton Hood, MD, was a missionary volunteer to Thailand, and this address was presented during the Student Coordinating Council chapel. An opening Scripture reading of Psalm 67:1-3 precedes an opening prayer (00:51-02:08) A brief time of worship in song occurs (02:09-07:53). An introduction was given for Hood as a native of North Carolina who received his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Tennessee and served in Washington state among Native Americans for two years (07:54-08:59). Another brief time of worship in song occurs (09:00-12:46). Alton Hood opens his message in prayer (12:59-13:38). He stresses that he will not present a formal academic paper; rather, he desires to share his own life of ministry to encourage his listeners (13:39-16:42). Strikingly, he mentions that they are not going to Thailand primarily to share the Gospel with medicine or because of Christ's command; instead, he grounds his reason for going in the direction he has (the call he was given) to go from the Holy Spirit (16:43-19:43). He believes that every act of healing is divine, and that work for the Lord either here or there is equally meaningful (19:44-20:50). Dr. Hood emphasizes two certain truths: he knows where he is going, and he knows that all will be well for him along the way, because of Romans 8:28 (20:51-25:22). He talks concisely about the relationships between worry and faith, worry and concern, and worry and prayer (25:23-27:23). He closes with a quote from Jim Elliot: "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose" (27:24-27:55). In his closing prayer, he thanks God for those who have equipped the saints and asks for blessing from God for the work ahead in God's mission (27:56-28:26). The first stanza of the hymn “Ye Servants of God, Your Master Proclaim” closes the sermon (28:27-29:08).

- Description:
- William J. Fallis was Editor of Broadman Press. There is an opening prayer and speaker introduction (00:52-03:22). William Fallis begins by citing from the journals of Kierkegaard from the 1850s (04:40-06:46). He then transitions into Romans 12:1-2, proceeding to warn Christians of being led astray from following Christ by the subtle enticements of the world's standards (06:47-15:15). The values of the world will tend to creep into the church, and Fallis warns Christians against becoming too concerned with statistics and multiplying institutions, instead encouraging them toward emphasizing genuine conversion experiences and the thrust of the Gospel in missions (15:16-18:24). He ends his message with a discussion about the “ease” of being a Christian in America (18:25-20:49). He constantly exhorts Christians to remain faithful to as pure a form of Christianity as is possible, according to the Holy Spirit's work (20:50-24:36). There is a closing prayer for the end of the service (24:37-25:56).

- Description:
- An opening prayer was given after the reading of Micah 6:8 (0:07-02:20). An introduction of Dr. Wendell Randolph Grigg was given, identifying him as Secretary of the Department of Interracial Cooperation of the Baptist Convention of North Carolina; he was a pastor, denominational worker, and co-laborer for the justice of the oppressed, especially other races (03:20-04:31). The title of the address is "Race and Relative Religion" (04:43-06:29). In his message, Grigg begs three considerations of his listeners: those who bear Christ's name would resemble His character to the world practically through humility and love; Christians would cease from treating the Faith as relative and begin treating it as absolute; and those who call on God as Father resemble Him as good sons and daughters should, acting in accord with His character to others in the world (06:30-08:09). Grigg points out that the myth of the superiority of racism has permeated in society, directly opposing science, the Bible, human unity, the Spirit of the Christian Faith, and the very will of God (08:45-09:48). He exposes racism's ultimate problem as one of wrong relationship with God, since no one can be in right relationship with God yet be in wrong relationship with any person (09:49-10:12). Grigg urges his listeners to take Christ and the implications of the Gospel seriously, acting on the Gospel instead of merely agreeing with it (10:13-27:12). A benediction was given by Grigg to close the service (27:13-27:26).

- Description:
- The opening prayer emphasizes a plea for God's forgiveness for our lack of obedience to Him and for our disobedience against Him (00:06-02:22). An introduction was given of Elmer West as the pastor of a church in Washington D.C., having formerly served for ten years as personnel secretary of the Foreign Mission Board (now the International Mission Board). Also stated, he received degrees from the University of Richmond, Colgate-Rochester Crozer Divinity School, and the University of Chicago. He completed his education from the North Carolina Baptist State Hospital, but his ultimate education came from marrying a missionary, the daughter of Dr. Watts who taught in Palestine (04:09-05:47). The title of this address is "Missionary as Servant" (09:02-10:13). Words such as pastor, teacher, administrator, organizer, popular speaker, etc. often characterize those who lead in the church, but "servant" is hardly ever one of them; yet, this is the description of Jesus Christ Himself, who came not to serve but to be served and to give His life as a ransom for many (10:14-10:45). Without a servanthood in missions, our churches will grow larger in size while shrinking in membership (17:00-17:27). West urges the denominations of Protestantism to come together in Christ for the propagation of the Gospel to those who have never heard it (17:28-28:24). He also strongly exhorts Americans to humility in hearing from our brothers and sisters overseas, valuing and benefiting from their input instead of just sending more American missionaries and funds their way (28:25-30:50). West calls for a reassertion of the high qualifications of missionaries, opposed to the growing "eases" of missions and saving the lost for some (30:51-41:43). [A brief loss of volume occurs between 35:35-35:43.] We have to give up our comfort and sacrifice much for Christ's name, but everything we gain will be more than worth the cost of what we gave up (41:44-43:47). The closing prayer ended with this emphasis as well, asking God to do this great work in and through His Church (44:01-45:04).

- Description:
- Instrumental music plays (0:00-01:59), and an opening prayer is offered to God (02:04-04:36). Worship continues with “God of Grace and God of Glory” (04:50-08:26), and a responsive reading from “Selection 96” occurs between the speaker and the audience (08:27-10:12). An introduction is given for other SEBTS faculty briefly before Dr. Copeland delivers his message (10:13-13:00). No formal introduction was given for Dr. Copeland, but he was Professor of Missions at SEBTS, and his message is on the person of Albert Schweitzer. Dr. Copeland begins his message with the words of Norman Cousins, a great friend and admirer of Schweitzer, a missionary to Africa, on the account of his death (13:01-17:33). Dr. Copeland outlines Schweitzer’s controversial character, offering criticisms that could be made concerning his pantheistic outlook on God, his neglect of the reality of divine atonement, and his representation of an age of paternalism in missions (17:34-20:14). However, Dr. Copeland affirms that these criticisms do not effectively detract from the impact of his life, including his positions against conformism, materialism, and inhumanity, his intellectual genius and mastery of certain fields, his faith that outshone his theology, his life that outshone his faith, and his successful efforts to block nineteenth century liberalism’s attempts to remake Jesus in the form of the nineteenth century as opposed to the first century (20:15-23:01). Dr. Copeland quotes Dr. Pelican’s words concerning Schweitzer’s answer to criticisms made concerning his life and theology. The quote communicates the relevant and relatable style in which the Gospels were written as opposed to the less relatable and existential style of Proverbs (23:02-25:08). Dr. Copeland ends by reading a quote from Dr. Schweitzer himself which emphasizes the authoritative real version of Jesus—the historical Jesus—who calls those who follow Him to be “other than” the world instead of “like” the world and who reveals Himself to both the simple and wise without regard of persons (25:09-29:23). Dr. Copeland closes his message with a brief prayer (29:31-29:49).
