- Description:
- Dr. William H. Willimon was Minister to the University and Professor of the Practice of the Christian Ministry at Duke University in Durham, NC. Dr. Willimon is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:20). Hymns are played (0:21-4:50). A song of worship is sung (cut) (4:51-5:14). Community concerns are recognized (5:15-7:14). A word of prayer is given (7:15-10:20). Dr. Willimon is introduced (10:21-11:41). He begins his sermon by reading from Luke 4, the account of the temptation of Jesus (11:42-13:24). Dr. Willimon speaks of how we can all identify with Jesus and His temptation, however, it is hard to understand why Jesus stood there and quoted Scripture instead of showing Satan a sign that He is the Son of God (13:25-17:05). We all want signs from God proving that He is with us (17:06-21:33). When we seek for Jesus to prove who He is through signs, we become like Satan the tempter (21:34-28:59). Dr. Willimon explains that Jesus must resist our “lustful demands” that attempt to make Him who we want Him to be so that He can be the God that we do not deserve (29:00-30:51). Dr. Willimon concludes with blessing the congregation (30:52-31:07). A hymn closes the service (31:08-33:35).

- Dr. John Keating Wiles was Assistant Professor of Old Testament at SEBTS. Dr. Wiles is announced as Chapel speaker (poor quality) (0:00-0:31). A hymn is played (cut) (0:32-2:44). Psalm 51:10-13 is read (2:45-3:15). The choir sings a hymn (3:16-6:47). Another Scripture reading comes from Isaiah 32:9-20 (6:48-8:46). Prayer requests are made (8:47-9:54). A word of prayer is given (9:55-11:50). Dr. Wiles speaks of how Isaiah addresses the women of Israel and tells them to mourn for the upcoming changes of their world (11:51-16:00). He emphases the difference between kings and prophets: kings do not call people to mourn when encountering changes, instead they instruct the people to forget the past, ignore the present, and look on the positive side (16:01-16:35). Kings use the managerial approach in life which focuses on statistics and budgets (16:36-18:24). Dr. Wiles discusses how prophets provide words of realism when they call people to live and die in a world that changes (18:25-21:14). Whereas kings and managers depend on continuity and do not expect real change, prophets realize that every historical world has an end and that God is in control (21:15-23:50). Dr. Wiles explains that kings and managers believe that their worlds will last forever (23:51-25:16). When God’s spirit pours out to end the mourning, fruitfulness will abide in the new world (25:17-26:44). Self-absorbed kings and managers do not know this kind of new world because they live in a fantasy world, not a historical world of change (26:45-27:57). Dr. Wiles concludes with a word on how we must not follow the managerial approach to life; we must allow the pouring out of God’s spirit to give us hope for a new world during our mourning (27:58-29:35). A word of prayer is given (29:36-29:54). Two hymns end the service (29:36-32:59).

- Description:
- Kurt Anders Richardson was Assistant Professor of Historical Theology at SEBTS. Dr. Richardson is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:14). A hymn is played (0:15-3:17). The congregation sings a hymn (cut) (3:18-3:35). The Scripture reading is Acts 1:6-11 (3:36-4:37). A word of prayer is given (4:38-5:50). The choir sings a hymn (5:51-9:57). Dr. Richardson focuses on the hope of Jesus and His second coming in his message entitled “Helplessness and Hope” (9:58-14:18). Jesus is coming for all as King to end the oppression of this world (14:19-16:25). Dr. Richardson speaks of the blessed hope of Jesus’ second coming and that we must continue to labor faithfully until that day (16:26-19:09). The Holy Spirit will help to keep us hopeful, as we minister the Gospel of hope to others so that they may be rich in spirit (19:10-22:50). Dr. Richardson ends with a benediction (22:51-23:37).

- Caralie Brown was a retired teacher and gave this address for “Missionary Day.” Brown is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:12). Hymns are played (the second one is cut) (0:13-4:08). A word of prayer is given (4:09-5:07). Dr. George Braswell welcomes the congregation and reads Acts 2:37-47 (5:08-8:03). The choir sings a hymn (8:04-9:58). Kay Culpepper introduces Brown (9:59-12:26). Brown thanks the congregation and speaks of the need for a new church in northwest Raleigh (12:27-16:17). She was initially against developing a new church, but eventually God caused her to have a change of heart and she became involved with this new church (16:18-18:29). Referring to Acts 2, she focuses on not planting a church, but being a church (18:30-19:30). Brown reveals that the Gospel, the mission field, and each other are all that are truly needed for a church (19:31-20:53). She provides four beliefs that were taught at the new church in Raleigh: 1) Acts 2:37-47 will serve as a guide, 2) men and women are equal, 3) everyone is a minister, and 4) youth participation (20:54-23:50). The new church grew in spirit and numbers once it acquired a full-time pastor (23:51-25:49). Brown teaches that we plant the Gospel, not churches, and God grows the church (25:50-31:13). Success is not evident by numbers, but how many actively participate in following the cross as a unified body (31:14-37:19). Dr. Braswell thanks Brown for her address and gives a word of prayer (37:20-38:39).

He speaks of Martin Luther King being not only a Civil Rights leader, but also a prophet of a utopian vision (15:01-17:26). Farrar discusses the need of social justice and brotherhood within the world and the Christian community (17:27-19:39). He provides examples of social justice in the biblical books of Amos, Isaiah, and Micah (19:40-21:28). Voices must be used to promote social justice (21:29-24:03). The prophets Nathan, Elijah, Malachi, and John voiced God’s words (24:04-25:06).

- Dr. Lewis Drummond was the fourth president of SEBTS. Dr. Drummond is announced (0:00-0:10). A hymn is played (cut) (0:11-2:05). A word of prayer is followed by a hymn (cut) (2:06-3:00). George Beaseley-Murray is welcomed along with a few others (3:01-5:35). Beasley-Murray gives a word prayer (5:36-8:27). The choir sings a hymn (8:28-11:00). Dr. Drummond addresses the congregation and speaks of preaching on “the great texts of the Bible” (11:01-12:10). He reads from Romans 12:1-2 (12:11-13:43). He gives a word of prayer (13:44-14:16). Dr. Drummond discusses that we can all be used by God according to His will (14:17-16:31). He provides a brief summary of the first eleven chapters of Roman (16:32-20:36). He then considers chapter 12 and speaks of surrendering our bodies to God—to give all that we are to Him (20:37-23:43). Dr. Drummond expresses Paul’s teachings within these two verses: do not conform to this world, but transform through the renewing of the mind so that we can see with God’s eyes (23:44-29:31). He explains that the purpose of these verses is to prove what is the will of God (29:32-29:56). He refers to the biblical story of when the prophet Samuel had to correct King Saul for his disobedience of God’s will (29:57-32:09). Obeying God’s will is what really matters in life (32:10-32:40). Dr. Drummond pledges to do the will of God, though he knows he will sometimes make mistakes, and challenges the congregation to do so as well (32:41-35:10). He concludes with a word of prayer (35:11-36:12).

- Dr. Edwin Luther Copeland was Visiting Professor of Missions at SEBTS. Dr. Copeland is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:09). Hymns are played (0:10-9:54). A word of prayer is followed by a hymn (cut) (9:55-11:33). President Lewis Drummond greets the congregation, welcomes new students, and presents Carson Grissom to bestow the Middler Theological Award (11:34-17:17). Grissom confers the award (17:18-18:25). President Drummond congratulates the student and presents Dr. George Braswell (18:26-19:12). Dr. Braswell introduces Dr. Copeland (19:13-23:15). Dr. Braswell reads Colossians 1:15-23 for Dr. Copeland’s sermon (23:16-24:41). Dr. Copeland is honored to speak for Spring Convocation (24:42-26:26). His sermon focuses on the centrality of the unitive mission of Christ to theological education (26:27-27:58). He defines the Seminary as the intellectual center of the church and theological education as intellectual thinking and researching of the life and work of the church (27:59-30:02). Dr. Copeland discusses that “the unitive mission of Christ is matched by the unitive intellectual mission of theological education (30:03-31:23). He then speaks on three areas where the unitive mission of Christ intersects with the unitive mission of theological education: Western secular culture, religious pluralism (awareness of other religions), and the inner division of Christianity (31:24-47:23). Dr. Copeland speaks of the action needed in the intellectual centers of the church so that the unitive mission of Christ can be executed (47:24-47:58). He concludes with a final word on these three challenges and with encouragement to do our best to fulfill the unitive mission of Christ (47:59-49:21). President Drummond gives a word of prayer (49:22-50:13). A hymn ends the service (50:14-53:56).

- Description:
- Dr. Samuel Eugene Balentine was Associate Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament at SEBTS. A hymn begins the service (0:00-5:11). The congregation sings a hymn (5:12-8:27). The Scripture reading comes from Genesis 22:1-14 and 1 Corinthians 10:13 (8:28-11:37). A word of prayer is given (11:38-12:55). Dr. Samuel Balentine begins with a recount of the story of God testing Abraham on Mt. Moriah (12:26-19:07). Mt. Moriah became the place where God tested and provided (19:08-20:12). Dr. Balentine asks whether we are prepared to encounter the same God who tests and provides (20:13-21:27). Abraham realized that the God, who tests all, also provides for all (21:28-25:11). Jesus demonstrated faith on the Cross at Golgotha (25:12-26:04). Dr. Balentine speaks about how we are “summoned to Mt. Moriah” like Abraham; we are expected to sacrifice everything and have faith in God (26:05:27:34). He concludes with Paul’s words regarding God: He is faithful and helps us to endure our tests (27:35-28:10). A word of prayer is given (28:11-28:35). A hymn ends the service (28:36-31:11).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of the sermon text, Luke 16:19-31 (00:00-02:55). Julius Carroll Trotter, Jr., Professor of Preaching and Speech at SEBTS, introduces himself, and personal identifiable information mentioned in the chapel service has been redacted (02:56-04:29). His message centers on the idea of personhood, specifically of personhood which has been overlooked as less important (04:30-09:49). This condition arises because men sometimes are motivated by a false sense of values, even religious traditions. These chasms between men are not placed by God or the will of man, but they simply exist (09:50-15:06). If we allow something that we hold onto to become a divisive factor between us and our fellow men, something happens to us as persons. When we treat or make another person into this or that, we become those things ourselves, losing part of our personhood in the process (15:07-19:50). The remedy for this, according to the parable, is the one who rose from the dead according to the Scriptures, even Jesus Christ; we sometimes fit into each of the men mentioned in the parable, but we must be the carriers of this gospel if anyone not knowing about it will come to know about it (19:51-25:07). He ends his time in prayer (25:08-25:47).
