    SEBTS Esther Adams Seminar - Mary Cosby September 27, 1982
    Description:
    This audio recording was conducted in the Library of Southeastern. Mary Cosby was a minister at the Church of Our Savior in Washington DC. Cosby begins her sermon by laying out her outline and discussion topics (0:00:00-0:03:43). She speaks about her childhood memories of memorizing Scripture in her Baptist church, and she reads John 13:1-38 (0:03:44-0:11:16). In the first part of her sermon, Cosby says that salvation comes through freedom and not law, and she points to the act of servanthood as the way believers become children of God (0:11:17-0:32:37). In the second part of her sermon, Cosby speaks about salvation as the entrance into a new reality, and she discusses at length the current abuses of power and wealth the United States government is currently engaging in to show that Christians must not align themselves with the world but rather the alternative community of God (0:32:38-1:12:48). Cosby opens for questions from the audience, and the first question is about how Cosby’s church is structured for missions (1:12:49-1:17:07). For the second question, Cosby shares the story of a church member who met Jesus Christ through an advanced doctrine study (1:17:08-1:25:37). The librarian concludes the talk by inviting everyone downstairs for refreshments, and she gives a word of prayer (1:25:37-1:26:47).

    SEBTS Chapel - Frank R. Campbell January 23, 1986
    Description:
    Frank R. Campbell was the President of Averette College in Danville, Virginia. The service begins with organ music (0:00-3:11). There is a blessing read and a moment of prayer (3:12-4:11). Frank Campbell is introduced as the chapel speaker (4:12-5:26). Campbell expresses his gratitude for the opportunity to speak (5:27-7:22). Campbell turns his attention to I Corinthians 12:27 and begins his presentation, sharing about how his family and home church reacted to his moving from serving in a church to a college (7:23-9:52). Campbell emphasized the importance of being part of God’s kingdom and not just part of a church (9:53-12:35). He shares aspects of the church that he is thankful for: he encounters Christ most often through the persons in the church, he believes the church “repersonalizes” people, he sees that church is the place where people want to forgive and practice kindness, he finds help from the church to stand firm, and he sees a way to live (12:36-22:48). He closes the service in a moment of prayer (22:49-25:06).
