- Description:
- The service opens with encouragements to prayer from responsive reading #46 (00:34-02:33), followed by a public reading of Psalm 136:1 (02:44-02:51) and an opening prayer (02:52-04:57). John Terrill Wayland’s message is about the private devotional life of the Christian (04:58-05:07). He begins his message by talking about the shoeless town which is ironically “known” for its shoes, and he compares that with a people who claim to be known for prayer and religion yet lack those basic practices personally (05:08-11:07). He mentions that not only is prayer a lesson to be learned, but it is a friendship to be cultivated (11:08-14:45). Lastly, he mentions that prayer is a lifestyle to be lived, of which Paul’s key verse on the subject could be Galatians 2:20 (14:46-17:30). Wayland ends his message with a short prayer, reciting Philippians 4:7 (17:31-17:41).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Luke 1:68 (00:00-00:09) and prayer (00:10-00:46). Then the congregation reads aloud a responsive reading taken from Psalm 84 (00:47-02:37). An introduction is given for John M. Lewis, the pastor of First Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC, outlining his educational and ministerial background; he has been introduced as the “thinking man’s Baptist” (02:38-04:03). John M. Lewis begins his message by reading the Phillip’s translation of 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (04:04-05:07), and his message is “Wanted: A New Theological Map for Baptists” (05:08-06:32). He believes that Baptists have stressed certain distinctives at the depreciation or neglect of others, and his message centers on balancing Baptist distinctives for effective future ministry (06:33-08:56). Firstly, Baptists have emphasized individuality within Christianity; while Christianity is personal, it is not private but communal. He urges that the separation of church and state in America has led to a separation of secular and sacred, causing the church’s work in the public square to become that much more difficult to manifest (08:57-17:21). Secondly, Baptists have emphasized “once saved, always saved,” which Lewis argues has wreaked havoc on our ethical responsibility and has overlooked the progressive and futuristic realities of our salvation (“being saved” and “will be saved”). He also discusses the Baptist view of denouncing the Catholic practice of transubstantiation in Communion while overlooking our practical transubstantiational view of salvation, wherein we believe we are changed metaphysically but not in reality (17:22-22:47). Thirdly, Baptists have emphasized that Jesus Christ is Lord of the local church, but we have denied practically that “the body of Christ” refers to all of our brothers and sisters everywhere in the world (22:48-26:05). Lastly, Lewis suggests that the Baptist exaltation of the Bible as the “Word of God” needs to find its practical and theological home in the person of Jesus Christ, who is “the Word of God” (26:06-28:09); he also suggests that the Bible will be “a dead book” to others until they understand that the Bible is not just telling how God spoke and worked then, but also now in our own time (28:10-32:33). He then closes in prayer (32:34-33:31).

- Description:
- The service opens with the reading of Habakkuk 2:20 (00:00-00:13), followed by a period of silence and instrumental music (00:14-01:31) and the mention of a time of worship from hymn #312 (01:32-01:35). An opening prayer is given (01:36-02:03), and the speaker, Frank Wood, is introduced. He was at that time a Middler student at SEBTS, having graduated from Wake Forest College in 1964 with honors in psychology and having been serving at the time of this recording as pastor of Centerville Baptist Church located in the Tar River Association near Louisburg, North Carolina; he also was serving as editor of the student newspaper, “The Inquiry” (02:04-03:16). The chapel anthem is sung (03:30-05:18). Frank Wood begins with a brief prayer (06:09-06:23) and reads the sermon text, 1 John 1:1-4 aloud before preaching through it (06:24-07:26). Wood points out that John is speaking of some cosmic truth which he has experienced with his senses and which is the basis of fellowship between humans and between God and man (7:27-12:42). Understanding the text in reverse, Wood proceeds to mention how we are without joy when we do not have or know Christ, who was from the beginning; also, we are without true fellowship with each other and with God when we do not have fellowship with Christ (12:43-17:15). He sums the text up by saying that the divine intrusion and the gospel itself is not found in words, but in the person of Christ (17:16-26:31). He closes the message with prayer (26:32-27:43).

- Description:
- The service begins with a brief prayer, (00:00-00:25) and although there was no formal introduction for Edwin Calhoun Osburn, he was the Librarian at SEBTS. He begins his message by casting the minds of his listeners to think on God rightly according to the Scriptures (00:48-02:58), reading aloud Psalm 145 (02:59-04:55) and leading the responsive reading of Selection 62 (04:56-07:30). He mentions the hymn, “My Father’s World,” pointing to the day when Jesus Christ will reconcile God and creation into harmonious relationship (07:31-08:31). He then transitions into the responsive reading of Selection 30, entitled “God our security” (08:32-11:04). Continuing to focus on God as our refuge and salvation, Osburn transitions to reading aloud Psalm 37 (11:05-14:16). He concludes by reminding his listeners that in God we find refuge, adoring Him for His mighty works; also, we find in God assurance and hope (14:17-14:35). He then closes with a hymn, of which the audio is cut out (14:36-14:39), and a recitation of the Lord’s Prayer from Matthew 6:9-13 (14:40-15:13).

- Description:
- A brief time of worship is cut out of the audio (00:00-00:08), a responsive reading of Selection 93 is read aloud (00:09-02:14), and another brief time of worship is shortened on the audio (02:15-02:52). There is no introduction for David Mein, but he was a Visiting Professor of Missions and President of North Brazil Baptist Theological Seminary. His message is about “the Holy Spirit and human experience” (02:53-03:03). He notes the present condition in the world, and especially in America, both among Christians and non-Christians, of pessimism and defeat; he concludes these spirits are present because the Holy Spirit is not real and vital in most of our lives, noting that some refer to the Holy Spirit in the neuter gender, some with emotional excesses such as in some branches of Pentecostalism, and some as mere theological topics of conversation (03:04-04:16). Dr. Mein proceeds to testify to his own experience of the reality and vitality of the Holy Spirit in his own life, first by identifying himself with the words of Paul’s own self-reflection in Romans 7 (04:17-06:41). He mentions from Ephesians 3:16 that the same Holy Spirit who puts sin to death in us also strengthens the inner man and, according to Ephesians 4:13, leads us to mature manhood, to the measure of the fullness of the stature of Christ (06:42-07:20). Through the Holy Spirit, Mein says that God’s love is poured into our hearts, according to Galatians 5:22; apart from Him, we cannot love man or God as we ought (07:21-09:26). Next, Mein says that through the Holy Spirit we come into possession of that hope which produces in us assurance, quoting both Ephesians 1:14 and Romans 15:13, among other passages of Old Testament Scripture (09:27-12:22). He ends with a concession that as we walk in the Spirit, the Holy Spirit would be both real and vital to us, that He would give us victory over our sinful natures, that He would pour God’s love into our hearts, and that He would give us the hope that produces assurance (12:23-12:51). He ends with a prayer to the Holy Spirit to kindle love in the hearts of his listeners (12:52-13:40).

- Description:
- The service begins with the overlapping audio of the ending of a prayer and the introduction of Clarence Griffin, concerning his educational, ministerial, and missional background in Indonesia (00:00-01:03). He begins with gratefulness for the opportunity to speak (01:04-02:15) by reading Matthew 4:18-22 and telling a fishing story to relate to Jesus's call to fish for men. He explains that, from Matthew 5:13-16, we are called to also be the salt and light of the world, preserving those who are perishing and warning those who roam in darkness of the imminent Danger about them (02:16-07:42). In a world which desires peace where there is none, we must not be worriers but warriors for Christ (07:43-13:42). Griffin proceeds to read the story of Gideon from Judges 7, outlining two aspects of the victory of the 300. Firstly, God wanted to make sure His people gave Him the glory for the victory instead of themselves, and secondly, God wanted to increase His people's faith in Him (13:43-15:38). We cannot win the world by our own power, but we must fully depend on the power of the Holy Spirit (15:39-20:50). He ends his time in prayer, (20:51-21:51) and the service ends with a choral closing (21:52-22:17).

- Description:
- The service opens with Scripture reads from Psalm 24:7, Isaiah 40:3, Isaiah 40:5, and 2 Corinthians 4:6, (00:00-00:43) followed by an introduction for C. Y. Dossey and Julian Hopkins. Dossey was from the Division of Evangelism of the Home Mission Board (now the North American Mission Board), and Hopkins was the Secretary of the Division of Evangelism of the Baptist Convention of North Carolina. Hopkins read the sermon text, 1 Corinthians 1:17-25, and prayed before Dossey gave the sermon (00:44-06:00). Dossey began his message by highlighting the effective witness of the first-century Christians, and he challenges his listeners to have effectual ministries as well (6:01-07:10). First, we need a renewal of authoritative preaching, proclaiming what the Bible says in a way where people can understand it (07:11-09:03). He mentions that we must not become a Biblical critic or attempt to defend the Bible, but only preach the Bible well, not cleverly. He declares that the reason why some Baptists have chased the "tongues movement" is because we have failed to preach accurately about the Holy Spirit (09:04-13:38). He emphasizes the importance of experiencing Christ's power now instead of relying too heavily on Christianity's rich past or on Christianity's rich future (13:39-17:19). He also says there must be a renewal of the eschatological emphasis in our preaching accompanied by courage, and we must be willing to disturb people with the boldness of the Biblical message by holding some "over Hell until they can smell fire and brimstone" (17:20-24:23). He closes in prayer (24:24-25:00).

- Description:
- The service opens with a reading from a poem by nineteenth century theologian, Walter Rauschenbush, entitled “The Little Post and Gate” (00:00-01:31) and a time of silent prayer to God before John Wright’s “Prayer for Theological Students” is vocalized (01:32-05:04). An introduction is given for the Reverend C. Wade Goldston, Chaplain at Louisburg College in Louisburg, NC, graduate of both Duke Divinity School and Yale University, and a pastor in North Carolina. He was currently returning to SEBTS to teach a course in Methodist Polity, and he was a member of the North Carolina Commission on Town and Country (05:05-05:51). Goldston intends to share from his own Christian witness (05:52-07:58). Firstly, Goldston mentions that we are not only made right with God by faith in Jesus, but we also continue to live by faith (07:59-11:33), ministering with our lives by faith (11:34-12:42). Secondly, he mentions that we can depend upon God to guide us and provide for us (12:43-15:51). Thirdly, God causes everything to work together for good to those who love Him (15:52-19:53). Finally, Goldston shares that we get what we give out (19:54-24:06). He then closes the message in prayer (24:07-24:55).

- The service begins with the reading of Isaiah 40:31 and prayer (00:00-03:24), followed by announcements (03:25-9:59) and an introduction for Alan Compton concerning his education and ministry. He was a missionary and a representative of Radio and Television Works of Missionary Fields of Latin America (10:00-11:37). His message focuses on discipleship and the Great Commission, beginning by saying the Great Commission has lost emphasis in many Southern Baptist churches in America. Even its individualized interpretation over the years has resulted in talking about “what we are doing” instead of “what God is doing” (11:38-15:23). His text is taken from Acts 1, and he warns that discipleship has become the job of those called into professional ministry, when it is the necessary responsibility and call of God for every Christian. We can only have compassion for the world by being disciples of Jesus Christ, and we must be willing to go wherever God may call us (15:24-25:17). Obeying the Great Commission becomes less about what you do and more about the witness you become in Christ (25:18-27:29). We cannot depend on enthusiasm and faith by themselves to carry out this work, but we must depend on the Holy Spirit (27:30-34:43). He ends the service in prayer, but the words seem to cut out before he is done speaking (34:44-35:51).

- 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).
