  • SEBTS Chapel - Troy Bennett February 22, 1961

    Description:
    No introduction was given for Troy Bennett, but he was a missionary in Southern Asia and a former graduate of SEBTS. He recounts the cultural differnces between his home and the mission field, remembering what he and his family had to learn while there, including customs, language, etc. (00:00-05:58). He then talks about a bothering question, “What is a Christian,” concerning which he received affirmative answers from many who did not know themselves what it meant to be a Christian. Identifying as Christian here meant identifying against over 85% of the Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu population (05:59-12:52). He then speaks about his experience of those in the East viewing the American West as “Christian” (12:53-17:07). Bennett referred to the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5-7 to determine what it truly means to be a Christian (17:08-21:01) before closing his time in prayer (21:02-22:38). Organ music ends the service (22:39-24:42).

  • SEBTS Chapel - John Watson Shepard January 26, 1962

    Description:
    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).

  • SEBTS Missionary Day Address - Baker James Cauthen December 1, 1960

    Description:
    The service begins with prayer (00:00-03:49). A welcome and recognition of certain people from the Women’s Missionary Union (WMU) are given (03:50-05:39), and the speaker, Dr. Baker James Cauthen, is welcomed and introduced (05:40-08:06). He was the Executive Director of the Foreign Mission Board (now the International Mission Board). The service continues with choral singing (08:07-09:56). He begins by reminding the congregation of the seminary’s missional purpose from its inception and its level place among the other five seminaries (09:57-13:35). He stresses that the central theme of missions is seeking God in prayer (13:36-19:06). The Scripture text for the sermon is 2 Corinthians 5:18-19, entitled “the Ministry of Reconciliation” (19:07-20:55). Man’s basic need is to be reconciled to God, and we ought to leverage our means which we spend on buildings and programs to advance the gospel to the nations (20:56-34:57). He asks those in the congregation to consider their service to God as extending far instead of staying near, affirming God does call His people to both realms (34:58-53:18). He ends his message by talking about the seriousness of viewing oneself as a missionary, both near and far away (53:19-1:03:11).
