  • SEBTS Chapel - Ferris Jordan April 22, 1970

    Description:
    Ferris Jordan was Adult Consultant for the Sunday School Department of the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. The service begins with a welcome and introduction of the Sunday School Board, and of the speaker Dr. Ferris Jordan (0:00-2:47). Dr. Jordan speaks on John 11, and the sovereign plans of God. Dr. Jordan begins his message with an introduction (2:48-4:06). Afterwards, he reads John 11:1-17, and prays (4:07-8:07). He continues by explaining that despite how it may appear, God is actively working in the present world (8:08-10:56). He states that God may appear to be delaying in His response, however biblical examples point to God always responding perfectly (10:57-13:40). He continues by explaining that Jesus always acted in obedience to the sovereign will of his father (13:41-15:03). He demonstrates that God is moving in the life of each believer, in order to keep His sovereign purpose, which allows Christians to partake in the benefits of His plan (15:04-26:50). He closes in prayer (26:51-27:53).

  • SEBTS Chapel - Gene Owen February 21, 1961

    Description:
    The service begins with the reading of Psalm 95:6-7 (00:00-00:18) and the sermon text, Isaiah 40:1-31 (00:19-03:15), followed by prayer (03:16-05:05). No introduction is given for the speaker, Gene Owen. He begins by emphasizing God’s sovereignty and providence as One who holds the entire world in His hands, as One who worked through Joseph’s evil circumstances for the good of him and his family (05:06-08:10). He warns next about having a childish view of the providence of God expressed in an unembarrassed use of God’s name. This will lead to us fashioning God in our image, according to ourselves (08:11-10:50). Others possess a “mature,” adult view of God’s providence, in which man denies his need for God or His self-revelation through the Bible. He links this view with American capitalism and independence, calling us to rethink our clichés according to the truth of God from Scripture (10:51-14:25). The view of providence which Owen advocates is a childlike view, a simple belief in the totality of God’s providence from a place of complete dependence on God (14:26-19:04). He ends his time in prayer (19:05-19:33).

  • SEBTS Chapel - Wilbur Todd April 29, 1969

    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).
