- Description:
- The service begins with an opening word and prayer (00:00-04:11). There is no introduction for the speaker, Robert Cook Briggs, but he was Professor of New Testament Interpretation at SEBTS. He begins by reading Romans 12:1-2 (04:12-05:36). He bypasses “what one ought to do” and focuses on “how one is to interpret the meaning of student days” (05:37-07:00). He summarizes the sermon in three points: first, years spent in seminary are best seen as years of opportunity (07:01-14:44); second, this opportunity is related to both what one has been before seminary and also what one will be after seminary (14:45-18:06); and third, essentially, this opportunity must ultimately be seen as a gift from God (18:07-19:58). He ends in prayer (19:59-20:50).

- Description:
- The service begins with the theme of worship as the responsibility of growing missionary churches (00:00-00:32), the reading of Isaiah 52:1-7 (00:33-02:49), and prayer (02:50-04:45). The service continues with singing (04:46-08:17). There is no introduction for the speaker, M. Ray McKay, but he was Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. He begins by saying that every informed and obedient Christian is a missionary, for God in Christ displayed this exact love toward the world (08:18-15:49). The third aspect for Christians in this way is maturity, which can be reached in no other fashion than to have the world on their hearts in the same way as God (15:50-18:16). Everyone, everywhere who is an informed, obedient Christian is a missionary, and this task is not only up to foreign missionaries but up to local churches as well (18:17-19:33). He then responds to “how” to grow a missionary church by saying the pastor must be: first, a missionary himself in understanding, spirit, and purpose (19:34-20:08); second, the pastor will include missions in his preaching (20:09-21:07); third, he must have a planned educational procedure for the church (21:08-23:06). He closes with a benedictory prayer (23:07-23:31), and the service ends with singing (23:32-24:36).

- Description:
- The service begins with an introduction for the speaker, William M. Dyal, who was a missionary in Latin America for nine years and was then Missionary Personnel Associate for the Foreign Mission Board (now the International Mission Board) of the Southern Baptist Convention (00:00-01:11). A singing of the parable of the pharisee and the publican precedes the speaker’s message (01:12-05:17). He begins by speaking about the reason why he went (and why he did not go) to be a foreign missionary, as one beggar showing others where to find Bread (05:18-10:29). Between the sharer and the seeker, there must occur a dialogue, or a conversation (10:30-17:21). Dialogue also always leads into engagement and involvement, sometimes called “personal mobilization” (17:22-23:38). He ends in prayer (23:39-24:36).

- Description:
- The service begins with an introduction for the speaker, John McGinnis, who was pastor of Capital View Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA (00:00-00:50), and prayer (00:51-01:58). He reads John 14:1-9 (01:59-04:16). The subject for the sermon is “He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father,” and the general topic is “Christ is unique” (04:17-04:34). He then names seven influential sons of Abraham, with one who did not belong, Jesus, who was unique (04:35-06:06). He outlines that Jews had a high monotheistc view of God, which Jesus shared, while saying that He was the only road that led to God (06:07-09:43). If Jesus was just a good moral teacher and not divine, then He is a liar, a lunatic, and possessed by Satan, just as the people of Israel labeled Him; however, if He was truly divine, we must fall at His feet and worship Him (09:44-11:31). Jesus was unique in His nature, “very God of very God, yet our elder brother in the flesh” (11:32-15:09), unique in His life, tempted like us yet unstained by sin (15:10-16:46), and unique in His death, as it was planned and done willingly (16:47-20:31), and He is unique in His resurrection, as our eternal contemporary. To rob Jesus of His uniqueness forfeits the entire gospel message (20:32-22:51). He ends in prayer (22:52-23:32), and the service closes in choral singing (23:33-23:48).

- Description:
- The service begins with an introduction for the speaker, Robison B. James, who was Instructor in Theology from 1961 to 1962 (00:00-01:03). He begins by reading the sermon text, John 13:21-30 (01:04-02:32), followed by opening prayer (02:33-03:12). He begins by pointing out the uniqueness of John’s fourth gospel as the most symbolic gospel (03:13-05:17). The gospel writer is both subtle (in the sense of sophistication) and serious, a rare combination (05:18-08:05). The relationships between John’s symbols in his gospel are subtle, showing his mastery of communicating the gospel among the popular literary devices of his time (08:06-11:23). There are three relations of closeness in John’s seriousness: the use of concrete images instead of abstract concepts (11:24-14:03), the experiential and presented life in Christ (14:04-17:28), and the development of the disciples (17:29-21:41). He closes in prayer (21:42-21:57).

- Description:
- The service begins with a brief word (00:00-00:56) and prayer (00:57-02:12). A brief highlight is placed on missions as the core focus of the seminary (02:13-03:42). An introduction is given for the speaker, Dr. Henry E. Turlington, pastor of University Baptist Church in Chapel Hill, NC, and former missionary in China (03:43-06:43). He begins with cordial greetings and the importance of the Scriptures in Baptist life (06:44-10:00). The Bible is relevant from Paul’s time until now, even as it still is changing; Turlington illustrates this from 1 Corinthians 9:19-22 (10:01-12:30). After giving a brief history about the British East India Company, he speaks of how much circumstances for missions in China and the world have changed (12:31-25:45). The question arises: “Is there need for any particular religion?” (25:46-27:44). He then draws out three of Paul’s teachings about himself from 1 Corinthians 9:19-22. First, he adapted himself to the environment in which he lived without denying the nature of the Christian life (27:45-31:01). Second, Paul taught the gospel absolutely cannot be determined by the environment; it already is (31:02-35:38). He then speaks briefly of this concerning Hinduism (35:39-36:53). Third, Paul was not afraid to trust God with young Christian churches (36:54-41:21). He ends his time in prayer (41:22-42:34).

- The service begins with prayer (00:00-02:39) and the reading of Luke 24:44-49 (02:40-04:06). There was no introduction for the speaker, Dr. John Watson Shepard, but he was Professor of Christian Ethics at Seinan Gakuin University in Fukuoka, Japan. In his message, he intends to go over the “why, what, and how” of our global mission task (04:07-07:07:22). The “why” of missions is simple from Scripture: the Lord has commanded and sent us, and the burden in us to share the good news of what has happened to us in Christ with the unbelieving is heavy (07:23-10:57). The “what” of missions, on one hand, is simply the gopsel; however, on the other hand, “how” we communicate that gospel across cultures can be difficult (10:58-17:45). Remarking further on the “how” of missions, we are witnesses and testify to that experience; we need to know the culture and language of the people we are among, but ultimately salvation belongs to the Lord (17:46-22:28). He ends in prayer (22:29-23:17).

He capitalizes on the use of words and speech to communicate what we know to others in warm and affectionate ways (10:00-23:47).

- The service begins with prayer (00:00-03:34). There is no introduction for the speaker, Dr. William Claudius Strickland, but he was Professor of New Testament Interpretation at SEBTS. He spends his time in chapel going over six items about the nature of the Christian life (03:35-04:46). First, we live only by the grace of God (04:47-07:50). Second, there is little difference between the general existence of the Christian and non-Christian (07:51-09:56), saying thirdly that we have nothing to lose because we are not our own (09:57-10:20). Next, transitioning from general to specific, he mentions that we live in faith (10:21-13:54). He then says we live in a radical love not produced by the world but by God (13:55-14:52), and we live in hope in God (14:53-16:41). The service ends with singing (16:42-19:44).

There was no introduction for the speaker, Dr. Jesse Burton Weatherspoon, but he was Visiting Professor of Preaching. He begins by reading Jeremiah 45 and expounding on the text (05:06-13:14). He warns of our concern for self when circumstances in life close in around us. He also exhorts us to then see God as involved, not as we may think, but as He really is (13:15-17:39). He then warns of our motives in seeking good things, such as God’s glory, testing to see if we are wanting these things for ourselves or for God purely (17:40-23:04). He ends his time in prayer (23:05-23:48).

- The service begins with the reading of a story and a brief update concerning inclement weather (00:00-03:34), entering into a time of prayer (03:35-05:14). An introduction was given for the speaker, Dr. Ralph Alderman Herring, who was a SEBTS trustee since the school’s beginning until recently. He was pastor of First Baptist Church in Salem, NC, but had resigned a year prior to this chapel, serving at the time of the chapel as SEBTS’s Secretary of the Extension Department (05:15-07:44). He begins his time with a word of welcome and a brief detailing of his position at the seminary (07:45-13:34). He focuses his message on the principle of circuitry from Jesus’s words in Mark 4:24, quoting Longfellow and another poet who express the same principle. He furthers the remainder of his sermon working from this principle (13:35-24:00). He postulates that success in the work of ministry depends on the acquisitiveness of our faith (24:01-25:31). He ends his time with prayer (25:32-26:18).

There was no introduction for the speaker, James Leo Green, but he was Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament at SEBTS. He begins his message with a story of a star pointing to Jesus Christ (03:35-06:15). Since the perfect star has five points, and since there are five points made about the Messiah from Isaiah’s prophecy, the two should be linked together, according to Dr. Green (06:16-06:34). First, Jesus’s name would be called Wonderful, and His character matched this perfectly (06:35-14:05). Second, Jesus’s name would be called Counselor, referring to His wisdom (14:06-19:44). Third, Jesus would be mighty God, referring to His power which could only come from God (19:45-27:00). Fourth, Jesus would be called Everlasting Father, referring to His personal relation with His people (27:01-28:36). Fifthly, Jesus’s name would be Prince of Peace, referring to His peace with God He would purchase for humans through His death on the cross (28:37-33:52). He ends his time in prayer (33:53-34:20).

There was no introduction for the speaker, James Leo Green, but he was Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament at SEBTS. The topic of grace is entertained historically and textually from the passage in Titus (03:02-15:18). To be saved is to be forgiven and made acceptable in the presence of Holy God (15:19-16:59). The primary purpose is the appearance of God’s grace is the creation and cultivation of Christlike character and conduct in us (17:00-21:03). He ends his time in prayer (21:04-21:42).

This is the Christian’s manifest destiny (09:50-17:37). He closes his time in prayer (17:38-18:00).

- This service was organized by the Student Coordinating Council, and the service begins with prayer (00:00-03:16). There was no introduction for the speaker, Jim Baucom, but he was a student at SEBTS. He begins by exposing the secularization of religion in America, becoming only a set of rules leading to moralism, devoid of the gospel; religion retreats into the walls of the church house and becomes institutionalized and couched in a secret vocabulary (03:17-08:51). He then illustrates total acceptance and total rejection (08:52-10:47) before applying it to the lives of Christians, stressing the need to merge religion with daily life (10:48-15:11). He ends his time in prayer (15:12-15:41).

There was no introduction for the speaker, Dr. Thomas Albert Bland, but he was Associate Professor of Christian Sociology and Ethics at SEBTS. He begins his message by reading Luke 11:1 and emphasizing that we can learn much about prayer from observing the example of Jesus as a man of prayer (02:45-06:29). We can also learn something about the nature of, and motivation for, prayer when we look at Jesus’s record (06:30-12:06). Jesus assumed that one who comes to the Father in prayer is free, but this freedom is a responsible freedom in the provident Heavenly Father (12:07-13:06). We must also learn the content of prayer from Jesus’s sample prayer (13:07-19:24). He ends his time in prayer (19:25-19:44), and the service ends with singing (19:45-21:04).

There is a brief time of singing and worship (07:01-11:19). There is no introduction for the speaker, Dr. Robert Cook Briggs, but he was Professor of New Testament Interpretation at SEBTS. The notion of a personal testimony in conjunction with 2 Corinthians 5:17 is discussed (11:20-15:34). The “newness” of the Christian situation is Paul’s emphasis, and it can evoke different kinds of responses (15:35-18:00). In Paul’s new life, anxiety, worry, and distress all played a crucial role by causing him to cast himself onto Christ and other Christians (18:01-26:37). He ends his time with prayer (26:38-27:00).

Henry Coffer, Jr., but was Instructor of Religious Education at SEBTS. His sermon topic is “the prodigal father,” based on Luke 15:11-32 (02:21-05:03). He begins with definitions from the dictionary on terms related to “prodigal,” understanding the son was prodigal according to his wastefulness, while the father was prodigal according to every sense of the word (05:04-10:01). He then transitions into identifying with the older brother’s outlook as the modern view towards life and the world (10:02-13:05). If the father was upsetting things, Jesus was doing more, and His words reveal the very “prodigal” love of God the Father in saving the Gentiles as well as the Jews (13:06-22:21). He ends with prayer (22:22-22:39).

- The service begins with the reading of excerpts from Psalm 95 (00:00-00:49) and prayer (00:50-03:04). No introduction was given for the speaker, Dr. Denton R. Coker, but he was Professor of Religious Education at SEBTS. He begins by reading from the preface to Martin Luther’s shorter catechism (03:05-04:20), and his message is directed towards the need to have teachers in local churches, not just executives to keep the organization to function smoothly (04:21-05:04). First, we must accept positively that the church has, of necessity, a teaching function; also, in relinquishing the responsibility of the family unit in teaching their children at God from home, the church suffered loss in three areas: neglect in homely religious instruction, little influence with catechumens, and teachers with little theological education (05:05-11:52). Second, the minister, of necessity, has a teaching responsibility (11:53-19:18). In conclusion, he points out two implications of this view: it is not a question of whether a church teacher is a theologian or not but of what kind of theology he will teach, and churches must be transformed into centers for genuine theological equipping (19:19-22:45). He closes in prayer (22:46-23:15), and the service ends with instrumental music (23:16-24:18).

- The service begins with the reading of various Scriptures (00:00-00:35) and prayer (00:36-02:10). An introduction is given for Dr. Pope Alexander Duncan, the speaker, according to his character and scholarly background, and his message title is “What We May Learn from the Anabaptists.” He was Professor of Church History at SEBTS (02:11-05:02). He begins his time with three presuppositions: Anabaptists as a whole were noble, sincere Christians (05:03-07:34), Baptists find a certain spiritual kinship with the Anabaptists (07:35-08:22), and Baptists are not Anabaptists (08:23-09:17). He then makes two observations, namely that we can be most discerning about that which we can objectify, and the Anabaptists provide a group from which we can learn much objectively (09:18-11:27). The main discussion of the lecture focuses on what the Anabaptists can teach us, such as: the church is a pure and free community subject to pride and fragmentation apart from unity in Christ (11:28-19:51); church discipline should be enforced in every local assembly without invoking the arm of the state for the purpose of restoring 1st-century Christianity as opposed to reforming from the Roman Catholic Church (19:52-28:35); their devotion and consecration enabled them to rejoice even in suffering and in martyrdom, and they set their eyes on the chiliastic (thousand-year) return and reign of Christ (28:36-40:06); negatively, their stubbornness to relax certain non-essential Biblical convictions caused divisions between them and the world as well as among themselves (40:07-45:47); they taught the value of lay-leadership and the danger of uneducated and unstable leadership (45:48-46:34); and finally, they warn us of the danger of Biblicism (46:35-52:10). The service ends in prayer (52:11-52:29).
