- Description:
- The service begins with prayer (00:00-00:30). A brief word precedes another prayer (00:31-03:51). President Stealey introduces the speaker, Davis C. Woolley, who was Secretary of the Historical Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention (03:52-06:16). Dr. Woolley begins by speaking about what the Historical Commission of the SBC does and its purposes to accomplish (06:17-08:10). He speaks of finding things in this world oftentimes by serendipity, applying that practice to how discovering new truths from Scripture as we study God’s Word (08:11-09:49).

- The service begins with an introduction on missions with the reading of Matthew 28:18-20 and John 1:1-14 (00:00-03:10) before praying (03:11-06:25). There was no introduction for the speaker, Dr. Emily Kilpatrick Lansdell, but she was Professor of Missions at SEBTS. She gives information from Dr. Fisher for a love offering (06:26-07:46).

- 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).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Isaiah 1:18 (00:00-00:32) and prayer (00:33-02:44). 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).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of a poem (00:00-00:40) and prayer (00:41-04:45). 2 Corinthians 5:11-17 is read and discussed briefly (04:46-07:00). 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).

- The service begins with the reading of Habakkuk 2:20 (00:00-00:24) and prayer (00:25-02:20). No introduction was given for the speaker, Dr. J. 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).

- Description:
- 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).

- Description:
- The service begins with prayer (00:00-03:28), and there is no introduction for the speaker, Pope Alexander Duncan, Professor of Church History at SEBTS. His message is about the topic of forgiveness, specifically how it affects both the giver and the recipient (03:29-06:05). He speaks to the lack of sermons specifically on the virtue of Christian forgiveness (06:06-07:42). He calls his listeners’ attention to think on how often they forgive when they are the objects of wrongs committed against them, reminding them that Christians are obligated to forgive others regardless of the depth of hurt they have experienced from someone else (07:43-11:05). He ends his time with an illustrative story on forgiveness (11:06-14:41) before closing in prayer (14:42-15:10).
