Undecipherable music (3:40-7:20). Dr. Parks begins his message and focuses on the challenges and responsibility of accurately communicating the gospel to others (7:20-13:42). He introduces and reads passages from 1 Corinthians 4 and Ephesians 2 and 3 (13:42-18:45). His thesis is that God’s calling involving salvation and direction of life is a calling to become his steward, responsible for the good news of salvation which requires of everyone trustworthiness in completing the task (18:45-19:50). He illustrates this with a story about good stewardship (19:50-24:23). He exhorts that believers must recognize the lordship of God who created everything and that we must fulfill our stewardship faithfully, to be trustworthy (24:23-25:20). Dr. Parks says he also grows concerned when he reflects on the way he exercises stewardship of the gospel. He says it requires the sacrifice of the steward’s interest so that the gospel might go forward (25:20-32:05). He states that choice is the highest compliment a steward can be paid by God and that stewards must make hard decisions in order to help the gospel spread (32:05-36:00). The gospel is for all the earth and when we are saved, we must go tell everyone (36:00-39:50) He discusses the great potential of the Southern Baptists to share the gospel with the world (39:50-47:00). Dr. Parks closes the chapel in prayer (47:00-48:32).
