- Anne L. Neil was Consultant for Women in Ministry. Neil is announced as the Chapel speaker (0:00-0:07). A hymn is played (0:08-6:54). Luke 1:39-56 is the Scripture reading of the day (6:55-9:39). A list of concerns is discussed (9:40-11:05). A word of prayer is given (11:06-12:26). Anne Neil is introduced (12:27-13:14). Before she begins speaking, Neil asks for a moment of silence (13:15-13:59). Neil begins with a question, “where is the prophetic voice,” and then she expresses how Mary (Jesus’ mother) and her cousin Elizabeth were unlikely candidates to share the coming of Jesus (14:00-21:00). Both Mary and Elizabeth prophesied Jesus’ salvation (21:01-24:59). Neil discusses how Mary’s prophetic song in the book of Luke reveals the struggles of those who live in poverty and she asks the question: “where is compassion and biblical justice?” (25:00-28:26). She explains that the three sources of prophetic voices are the third world, the black churches of America, and women who all are called to proclaim the Gospel (28:27-33:19). A word of prayer is given (33:20-34:50). Neil closes with the wish that everyone would leave with “hope and God’s good humor” (34:51-35:02).

- Jack Stearns was the Director of the Mid-Atlantic Region of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education. Stearns is announced as the Chapel speaker (0:00-0:14). A hymn is played (0:14-3:15). A word of prayer is given, followed by a hymn (3:16-6:40). Guest visitors for Clinical Pastoral Education Day are welcomed and Stearns is introduced (6:41-11:36). A hymn is played (cut) (11:37-11:42). Reading from Luke 10:25-37, Stearns focuses on the “good neighbor” image of ministry (11:43-16:28). He speaks of the internal difference of the three neighbors from the Scripture that caused the different responses to the injured man (16:29-17:30). Perhaps the priest and the Levite were preoccupied with their cultural duties or other matters (17:31-20:34). The Samaritan showed compassion, implying that he was a man willing to care and a man who had experienced brokenness (20:35-22:03). Stearns then mentions that we all have a little of the priest and Levite in us (22:04-23:37). He also suggests that maybe the Samaritan was fulfilling the law to love God and others by showing compassion (23:38-24:05). Believers have a common bond that causes us to come to together to answer God’s call to ministry (24:06-26:27). Stearns ends with a final word on the good neighbor image: we are one body that God calls on to minister to others (26:28-28:21). A word of prayer concludes the service (28:22-30:37).

- Lewis A. Drummond was the fourth president of SEBTS. Billy Graham is introduced as the guest speaker for Drummond’s inauguration (0:00-0:15). A hymn is played (0:16-7:36). A word of prayer is followed by another hymn (cut) (7:37-8:47). The audience is greeted, and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Roy L. Honeycutt is presented (8:48-10:08). Honeycutt represents all the seminaries and theological schools in the U.S. and Canada and shows his support for Drummond’s inauguration (10:09-17:00). The Scripture reading for the day is from Psalm 84 and Acts 20 (17:01-20:53). Billy Graham is introduced (20:54-25:19). The choir sings an anthem (25:20-30:30). Dr. Graham greets everyone and reads Proverbs 29:18 and Acts 16:9 (30:31-37:21). He speaks of the calls to hear, help, and heed with a focus on evangelism and social service as well as proclaims his support of Drummond as SEBTS new president (37:22-1:04:58). A soloist sings (1:04:59-1:08:32). Chairman of the Board of Trustees Robert Crowley announces Drummond as the right leader for the Seminary and asks him to come forward to sign his name on the articles of faith (1:08:33-1:18:00). Drummond speaks of how proud he is to be the new president and promises to help students fulfill the Great Commission (1:18:01-1:28:12). Drummond and his wife kneel, and Dr. Graham gives a prayer of dedication (1:28:13-1:32:17). The soloist sings another song (1:32:18-1:34:30). A word of prayer is followed by a hymn (1:34:31-1:41:56).

- Fisher Humphries was Professor of Theology at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Fisher Humphries is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:14). A hymn is played (0:15-3:07). A word of prayer is given, followed by another hymn (cut) (3:08-5:53). Humphries is introduced, and his message focuses on the Bible and spiritual formation as the second part to his previous message on the church (5:54-8:02). Humphries greets his audience and reads from Psalm 119 (8:03-9:24). He speaks of four ways Scripture forms our lives: it provides a Christian worldview, offers the experience of God’s reality, demonstrates how to live in ordinary life and in a community, and reveals our true identities (9:25-10:07). Scripture is effective in providing believers with a worldview that can be based on astronomy and geography, psychology, and history (10:08-13:08). Scripture impacts the Christian worldview: it assures us that the world is not shapeless, informs us that the world is not how God intended it to be, protects us against idolatry, teaches us to live in anticipation, and transforms the meaning of history (13:09-19:50). Humphries then speaks of how Scripture is a catalyst for experiencing God with a focus on conversion, prayer, guidance and strength, friendships, and Biblical stories (19:51-24:49). Reading from Proverbs, Humphries reinforces how Scripture gives practical guidance for living our lives (24:50-33:03). He also discusses how Scripture illustrates how to live in a community (34:00-35:49). Lastly, Humphries mentions how Scripture reveals our true identities and finally closes with a summary of the four main points of his lecture (35:50-41:19). A word of prayer is given followed by a hymn (41:20-43:43).

- Description:
- Fisher Humphries was Professor of Theology at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Humphries is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:28). Two hymns are played (0:29-4:37). A word of prayer is given, followed by another hymn (cut) (4:38-6:44). Humphries is introduced (6:45-9:43). Humphries thanks the Seminary for allowing him to speak (9:44-13:27). Based on 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, Humphries’ message concerns sanctification and spiritual formation (13:28-15:51). He provides four examples of believers’ self transcending impulse towards God: freedom, the need to understand, a desire for happiness, and the impulse to love and be loved (15:52-17:44). All these impulses are fulfilled in God, as spiritual formation (17:45-18:33). Humphries states that the best analogy of spiritual formation is one’s influence over another without manipulation (18:34-20:53). He plans to speak on two means of spiritual formation, the church and the Bible; the lecture on the church is for this day’s message while the one on the Bible is for the following day’s message (20:54-23:25). The church is both an institution and a fellowship, but God is more concerned with the people not an organization (23:26-24:53). Humphries explains that the church as an organization consists of people who contribute to spiritual formation and asks whether this is true of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) where opposition exists (24:54-27:23). He discusses Liberal Protestantism, Fundamentalism as a response to the former movement, and finally Evangelicalism which resulted due to the problems of Fundamentalism (27:24-32:42). However, disagreements in the Evangelicalism movement have occurred because it did not plant strong roots (34:43-38:31). Humphries compares the SBC, with its unstable foundation, to this movement; it also needs to strengthen its roots (34:38-38:31). He does say that God has and is using the SBC for spiritual formation despite its flaws, as the church has never been perfect and the church’s mission continues to be performed (38:32-40:19). He reinforces that the church is the people of God and a place of spiritual formation (40:20-42:47). He concludes with a recitation of the scripture reading from 1 Thessalonians (42:48-43:51). A word of prayer is given, and a hymn ends the service (43:16-46:13).

- James H. Blackmore was Emeritus Professor of A. Div. Studies and Visiting Professor of Biblical Studies. Blackmore is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:20). A hymn is played (0:20-4:50). A brief explanation of the use of a shofar (ram's horn) in scripture is provided, followed with one being blown for the congregation (4:51-8:50). A prayer is given, and a hymn is sung (cut) (8:51-9:48). The scripture reading is from Luke 22:24-34(9:49-11:21). Another prayer is spoken (11:22-13:23). The subject of the message regards believers facing temptations (13:24-18:45). Blackmore mentions a book based on the temptations of a preacher, from which he plans to discuss four temptations (18:46-19:14). The first temptation involves believers equating their thoughts of God with God Himself; however, words are limited and inadequate in comparison to God’s greatness (19:15-21:39). Though our minds are incapable of fully comprehending God, He calls us to a greater understanding (21:40-23:31). Blackmore speaks of the second centuries-old temptation which is to be jealous of one another (23:32-25:04). We should not be jealous because God has given everyone a gift to use for His glory (25:05-25:54). The third temptation concerns ministers neglecting their families as they become more prominent in their work (25:55-29:46). Working for a wage is the last temptation, and Blackmore reveals that God provides Himself as the greatest reward for those who work for Him (29:47-31:50). Blackmore ends his message with a request that the Holy Spirit be with them all, followed by a song of worship (31:51-33:40). The service concludes with another hymn (33:41-36:20).

- Roy E. De Brand was Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Roy E. De Brand is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:07). A hymn is played (0:08-3:59). Scripture reading is followed by another hymn (cut) (4:00-4:36). Prayer requests are made, and a word of prayer is given (4:37-8:44). The choir sings a song of worship (8:45-12:15). De Brand speaks about the necessity of an enduring faith for difficult times such as when Americans were fighting for independence from England (12:16-13:59). He focuses on the expression of faith found in the book of Lamentations 3:19-26 (14:00-17:36). Faith comes easy during the good times, but it is during the bad times when faith seems hard to find (17:37-19:09). De Brand discusses that it is easy to find faith as long as we acknowledge God’s eternal, steadfast love (1910-21:26). However, during difficult times, we lose sight of God’s love (21:27-22:04). As De Brand quotes Whittier’s poem Eternal Goodness, he speaks of God’s love always being there for us (22:05-23:28). He then adds that hope is necessary for finding faith during our trials as it provides us the “assurance that our inner strength is greater than our outward problems” (23:29-27:31). We will always face tough times, but hope and the knowledge that God is in control will sustain us (27:32-29:02). God does not disregard those who seek Him so we must be continuously looking to God for enduring faith (29:03-32:00). De Brand concludes with citing from Paul’s epistle to the Corinthians: love is the greatest of the three lasting things of this world (faith, hope, and love) (32:01-33:27). He gives a word of prayer (33:28-34:12).

- Lewis Addison Drummond was the fourth president of SEBTS. The announcement of President Lewis Drummond being the Chapel speaker for the Fall Convocation is made (0:00-0:08). Hymns are played (0:09-10:48). A word of prayer is given (10:49-12:11). Another hymn is played (cut) (12:12-12:19). Adjunct professors, new students, Vice President of External Affairs George Worrell, and guests are welcomed to the 38th academic year at SEBTS (12:20-16:28). George Worrell reads Colossians 2:1-7 as the day’s Scripture reading (16:29-17:48). C. Michael Hawn, Professor of Church Music, is given an award for faculty excellence (17:49-21:40). Drummond begins his sermon, based on Colossians 2:6-7 (21:41-23:04). He focuses on us, as the body of Christ, determining our destiny (23:05-24:34). Titling his sermon “Waking into Destiny,” Drummond speaks of walking in the spirit as a personal experience, but it can also be experienced on a corporate level (25:08-26:18). He informs that there are four principles within the passage from which he read, with one involving walking in godliness as individuals (26:19-31:17). He desires SEBTS to walk in godliness on a more collective level, as a whole (31:18-32:00). Drummond mentions the time when he felt God’s presence at another university and declares that walking in godliness can be the Seminary’s destiny as well (32:01-35:18). Two other principles he speaks of are “getting” and “giving:” since we have received so much from Christ, we should give back to others by sharing Jesus with them (35:19-40:17). Drummond wants SEBTS as an institution to give Jesus to others and to be rooted in the faith so that it can grow and mature as a place of prayer (40:18-47:46). The last principle is gratitude as we have so much to be thankful for in our lives (47:47-51:44). Drummond closes with a goal for SEBTS to glorify Christ by walking in godliness, giving as much as it has received, and showing gratitude (51:45-52:57). A word of prayer concludes the sermon (52:58-53:35).

- Thomas A. Jackson was the pastor of the Wake Forest Baptist Church. Jackon is announced as the Chapel speaker (0:00-0:10). Two hymns are played (0:11-5:15). Scripture reading is followed by a hymn (cut) (5:16-5:54). A request for prayer is announced, and a word of prayer is given (5:55-9:22). Jackson is introduced (9:23-11:18). The choir sings an anthem (11:19-13:21). Jackson speaks of an actor, Paul Alexander, who came to know Jesus and memorized the whole Gospel of John (13:22-15:01). He then reads from John 13, focusing on Jesus’ commandment to His disciples to love one another (15:02-16:06). Jackson discusses the topic of us, as Christians, representing Jesus faithfully (16:07-21:17). He reveals that many churches claim to be true representatives of Christ based on certain criteria (21:18-22:23). Not one of the criteria includes loving one another as Jesus loves us (22:24-23:42). He then tells a story of love among comrades, comparing it to how Jesus wants us to love one another (23:43-26:33). Jackson asks the congregation to pray to God to help them love one another as Jesus so that they may become as one (26:34-27:59). He concludes with a word of prayer (28:00-30:09).

- Donald E. Cook was the Professor of New Testament at SEBTS. Cook is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:14). Two hymns are played (0:15-4:08). A word of prayer is given, followed by another hymn (cut) (4:09-4:36). Scripture reading from Philippians 2:5-11 is provided, and a word of prayer is given (4:37-7:09). The choir sings a song of worship (7:10-9:11). Cook speaks of the time when he was helping to recruit students, and a woman asked him what does some Jew who died on the cross have to do with her (9:12-13:33). He explains that we should believe because of the words of Jesus (13:34-16:10). However, a friend of Cook asked why we should believe based on words: words are simply words (16:11-17:45). Cook answers that Jesus’ deeds should give us reason to believe, yet his friend tells him that Jesus’ deeds are not compelling (17:46-20:56). Cook finally tells his friend words and deeds do not form the basis of his faith, but Jesus’ death on the cross (20:57-21:26). Another question is asked: what makes Jesus different from all the other Jews who were crucified? (21:27-22:32). Cook proclaims Jesus as the Son of God whose presence, love, and life give meaning to His words and deeds and who is the basis of the Christian faith (22:33-25:31). Cook ends with saying that Jesus is our light, courage, love, and forgiveness that brings us together before God as His children (25:32-28:14). The sermon is concluded with a word of prayer (28:14-28:59).

- Donna M. Forrester was the Chaplain at SEBTS. Forrester is announced as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:27). An opening hymn is played (0:08-2:51). A male soloist sings (2:52-3:51). Scripture reading is provided from Isaiah 40:28-31 and Romans 12:9-21 (3:52-6:06). Concerns and celebratory topics are addressed (6:07-7:42). A word of prayer is given (7:43-8:45). Forrester speaks of the destruction of Coventry Cathedral and the city where it is located that occurred during World War II (8:46-13:04). The city was at a crossroads: it could respond with vengeance or forgiveness (13:04-14:16). She explains that the rhythm of Christian faith is crucifixion, forgiveness, and resurrection (14:17-14:25). She then returns to the story of Coventry Cathedral with a recount of the creation of two crosses at the site of destruction (14:26-15:35). The crosses were eventually placed in the newly rebuilt cathedral with the words, “Father, forgive,” inscribed on one of them (15:36-16:11). Now, the new cathedral is growing as an example of love being triumphant (16:12-17:08). Forrester speaks of how Calvary became more real to her after seeing the cathedral during her trip to Coventry, England (17:09-19:15). She then asks how did Jesus forgive and what does it take to forgive? (19:16-20:09). She explains that anger, bitterness, and hopelessness characterize one who does not forgive (20:10-23:36). Since we have been shown love and grace, we should show this kind of love to others through forgiveness (23:37-25:50). Forrester states that “forgiveness restores integrity and freedom to oneself and one’s relationships to others and to God” (25:51-26:30). We need to discover who in our lives needs to be forgiven (26:31-27:17). She discusses that it is our need and command to forgive as it restores relationships, frees us to end relationships, and reconciles us to God (27:18-28:14). When we forgive, we can know that we too are forgiven (28:15-28:34). Forrester concludes with a prayer (28:35-29:20). Another song is sung (29:21-32:50). The congregation recites a litany of forgiveness (32:51-35:41). The event ends with another song (35:42-36:34).

- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Shaddix begins his sermon by reading from the book of Haggai with a focus on the question, “are you in hot pursuit of the effects and influences of the Holy Spirit in your life? (0:00-4:25). He reads about the time when the prophet Haggai beckons Israel to return to rebuilding the Temple (4:26-6:12). He tells the congregation he is going to address three questions: what is the relevance of this passage, what is the problem presented, and what is the solution? (6:13-6:32). To answer the first question, Shaddix explains that the Temple represents Christ’s presence, the laborers represent us as Christ’s followers, and the laborers’ lack of pursuing the rebuilding of the Temple represents our lack of pursuing the effects of the Holy Spirit in our lives (6:33-13:43). He states that if we presume the experience of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we cannot fully experience the full effects (13:44-14:37). Shaddix then presents the problem, which is that God’s people paused their work (14:38-15:22). Three reasons exist as to why they stopped working that can be applied to why today we presume the effects of the Holy Spirit (15:23-16:01). The first reason is that our enemies deter us from our pursuit (16:02-17:31). The second reason involves being discouraged by the lack of results in our ministry efforts (17:32-19:45). Allowing excess and pursuits of comfort to distract us is the third reason (19:46-22:52). Shaddix provides a three-component solution with the first component involving obeying the Word of God and returning to our work as His laborers (22:53-24:37). The second part of the solution is to fear the discipline of God (24:38-27:54). Rely on the grace of God comprises the third component (27:55-29:44). Shaddix concludes with how the solution can lead to our hot pursuit of the effects of Christ’s presence in our lives (29:45-31:53). He gives a word of prayer (31:54-32:37).

- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Shaddix begins his sermon reading from 2 Timothy 1:15-18 (0:00-2:24). Just as Paul refers to spreading the Gospel as running a race, Shaddix compares the relay event in track and field to spreading the Gospel: passing on the baton is similar to passing on the Gospel to others (2:25-7:27). In his epistle, Paul writes to a struggling Timothy who is on the verge of quitting the race, but Paul encourages him not to desert the race (7:28-9:00). Shaddix states that everyone is called into the race to preserve the Gospel and pass it on to others (9:01-9:38). To help Timothy, Paul provides examples of “runners” who deserted the race and who were devoted to it (9:39-12:16). Those that walked away from completing the race, deserted the Gospel (12:17-13:32). However, Paul mentions one man, Onesiphorus, who sacrificed his life to spread the Gospel, and Paul encourages Timothy to be like this man (13:33-18:16). Shaddix then presents Paul’s three instructions to Timothy with the first one telling him to depend on God’s grace for strength in this race (18:17-26:36). The second instruction is to develop devoted disciple-makers who will continue to spread the Gospel (26:37-28:46). Shaddix explains that discipleship is key to spreading the Gospel and that there will always be someone who desires to pass on the Gospel baton (28:47-31:28). The third instruction is to share in the sufferings that comes with spreading the Gospel (31:29-33:58). Shaddix speaks of how Paul is trying to tell Timothy that sharing the Word is not an easy task; there will be hardships (33:59-35:42). He then gives Paul’s three illustrations in the second chapter of 2 Timothy that demonstrate how we are to fulfill the Gospel race: denial, discipline, and diligence (35:43-36:13). Like a soldier, we must deny ourselves certain things in life (36:14-37:02). Passing on the Gospel to others requires discipline—rules must be followed (37:03-37:19). We must be diligent in this race as it can be tiresome work (37:20-38:18). Shaddix makes the congregation aware of not letting gifted people miss the opportunity of running the Gospel race because they were not provided with a stable “baton” (38:19-39:39). He concludes with asking the congregation to pray to God to give them the strength to successfully pass on the Gospel baton (39:40-40:20).

- Description:
- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Shaddix begins with asking the congregation to turn to Acts 6, focusing on ministry (0:00-6:22). The passage’s theme is church growth, but Shaddix delves deeper and discusses how the New Testament church overcame challenges to growth (6:23-11:36). The New Testament church leaders embraced their roles as stewards of God’s Word (11:37-12:31). Shaddix presents three answers to overcoming challenges of church growth (12:32-13:17). First, as a living organism, the church must grow by the Gospel; the church must be rooted by the Gospel (13:18-19:29). Second, as faithful stewards, we must protect the witness of the Gospel (19:30-23:52). Shaddix reveals that the New Testament church leaders protected two primary agents for Gospel advancing: prayer and preaching (23:53-24:19). Just as the New Testament leaders, we need to understand that prayer is how we unleash the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives (24:20-29:22). Regarding preaching, the New Testament church leaders referred to it as “distributing” the Gospel as they physically went out into secular places and spoke the Word (29:23-35:05). They grounded themselves by prayer while they distributed the Gospel to others (35:06-36:09). Third, we must share the work of the Gospel (36:10-39:07). Shaddix speaks about why the New Testament church leaders shared the Gospel: to minister to not just the poor, but also to all people so that they can spread the Word (39:08-46:00). Everyone who are saved are called to share the Gospel (46:01-46:22). Shaddix closes with three challenges for the congregation: 1) make time for prayer, 2) assign tasks for people in your church, and 3) lead your church to care for the disenfranchised (46:23-49:01). He gives a word of prayer (49:02-49:53).

- Description:
- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Dr. Daniel Akin welcomes listeners and provides the Seminary’s mission statement (0:00-0:32). A Scripture reading from Matthew 7 is given (0:33-0:49). Shaddix begins his sermon, which focuses on the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12) (0:50-5:39). There are three components he will discuss relating to the rule being used for a Great Commission School: 1) the rule itself, 2) the relationships guided by the rule, and 3) the reason for the rule (5:40-8:30). Multiple versions of the rule in history exist (8:31-10:30). However, these versions differ from Jesus’ version because they all are negative statements (10:31-12:19). The rule has often been and continues to be stated as “do not unto others that which you would not do unto them,” and thus is used as a tool for self-protection and self-preservation (12:20-12:59). Jesus’ version serves as a positive and proactive guide on how we should treat others with no consideration of how they treat us (“do to others that which you would wish to be done to you”) (13:00-14:51). This rule is positive because it is inconsistent with the negativity of the other versions since God is the opposite of negativity (14:52-16:34). It is also inconsistent with the guilt of man: the popular versions encourage people to do nothing in order to fulfill the rule and hence have the end result of people being guilty of passivity (16:35-18:10). Jesus does not want a church where passivity is present, but a church that is active in its response to God’s call (18:11-20:49). Shaddix then refers to verses 7-11, as he discusses how the rule guides our relationships and how we are to practice righteous discrimination by first looking at our own sins before we can help others realize their sins (20:50-31:00). He presents the reason for the Golden Rule (“this is the law and the prophets”) and explains that Jesus was referring to Himself as He had come to fulfill the law and the prophets’ sayings in the Old Testament (31:01-36:50). He concludes by saying that Jesus came to treat us as He wished we would treat Him (36:51-38:59). Shaddix gives a word of prayer (39:00-40:07). Akin gives a final word (40:08-41:11).

- Description:
- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Dr. Daniel Akin welcomes listeners and provides the Seminary’s mission statement (0:00-0:31). Shaddix’s sermon focuses on worrying less about answering God’s call to mission (0:32-3:38). He states that anxiousness arises usually due to the uncertainty of being financially secure in ministry work (3:39-6:07). He presents nine points on worry in his sermon, “Worry-less Ministry,” which is based on the passage in Matthew 6:25-34 (6:08-7:02). The first point is the principle Jesus discusses that involves God promising to take care of His children’s needs in order for them to fully occupy themselves with pursuing Him and His kingdom (7:03-9:00). Shaddix defines worry in the Bible as being distracted from absorbing oneself with God (9:01-14:32). He then discusses four distractions, with the first one being material things (14:33-14:44). He uses the parable of the seeds in Mark 4 to convey that we become absorbed with satisfying our material needs (14:45-16:49). The second distraction is service, and Shaddix refers to Martha’s anxiousness of serving people instead of sitting at Jesus’ feet with Mary in Luke 10:38 (16:50-18:47). Another distraction is one’s spouse: Paul says in 1 Corinthians 7:32 that married people are focused more on worldly things than God due to them obtaining more responsibilities that come with marriage (18:48-24:08). Suffering is the fourth distraction that can consume our time (verse reference is Philippians 4:4-9) (24:09-25:54). Shaddix proclaims that Jesus will take care of you so you do not have to worry and can give all your attention to God (25:55-26:43). However, we have become more absorbed in material needs and have placed answering God’s call to minister second in our lives (26:44-27:18). Next, Shaddix gives three applications, with the first one being to “minister for more than maintenance,” for more than just meeting your needs (27:19-29:36). Acting like a child and allowing God to take care of you is the second application (29:37-33:29). Do not try to be God is the third application: we must let God have full control in our lives (33:30-34:13). Shaddix ends his sermons with an exhortation to seize the day by applying the principle of not worrying (34:14-35:55). He gives a word of prayer (35:56-36:32). Akin gives a final word (36:33-37:35).

- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Dr. Daniel Akin welcomes listeners and introduces Jim Shaddix (0:00-0:35). Shaddix asks the congregation to turn to Matthew 28; he focuses on defining discipleship (0:36-3:46). He decides to “unpackage” the essence of discipleship: there are three components (3:47-6:34). First, discipleship begins with accepting Jesus as the Son of God and the Savior of the world, but one must be careful in celebrating because this is only the beginning of discipleship (6:35-13:09). Second, knowing that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior involves the Cross, for the Gospel is incomplete without the Cross (13:10-21:27). The Cross is part of the Gospel that we cannot live without, as it is the power of salvation (21:28-23:40). Shaddix reveals that in addition to realizing that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior who died on the Cross, a third component to discipleship exists (23:41-24:04). This key component is “denying oneself and unashamedly living for Jesus” (24:05-30:37). Taking up one’s cross leaves no room for things of tomorrow; we must only follow Jesus (30:38-33:30). All three components define the true essence of discipleship, and thus, are all required to achieve discipleship (33:31-36:07). Shaddix concludes by saying that discipleship centers on carrying one’s cross as a follower, not just a friend, of Jesus (36:08-37:27). He then gives a word of prayer (37:28-38:07). Dr. Akin gives a final word (38:07-39:25).

- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Dr. Daniel Akin welcomes listeners and introduces Jim Shaddix (0:00-0:32). Shaddix asks the congregation to turn to Ezra 8 and thanks the Seminary for allowing him to speak (0:33-1:40). His sermon focuses on spreading the Word without a backup plan, hence the title “Ministering Without a Backup Plan” (1:41-2:25). He reads from Ezra 8 (starting from verse 21) and gives a story about his unsuccessful attempt at growing a church (2:26-6:13). Shaddix describes two types of economies, with the first economy being one where growth/numbers mean success (6:14-7:09). The second economy is one similar to Ezra’s economy where no backup plan exists, where we have to depend on God showing up and revealing His glory (7:10-8:56). Shaddix provides three answers to what ministering without a backup plan looks like (8:57-9:13). First, it involves taking risks for the sake of God’s call to us to spread the Gospel: titles and salaries are not secure when we answer His call (9:14-16:16). Jesus talks of being prepared to give up everything in order to follow Him, but He will always be there by our sides (16:17-22:08). Second, having no backup plan is evident when we are jealous for God’s honor, when we desire for His glory to be shown (22:09-32:31). Third, it involves us humbling ourselves in desperate prayer, depending on God’s strength and crying out for God to show His glory (32:32-37:51). Shaddix concludes with saying that it is hard to minister without a backup plan and gives the congregation two challenges (37:02-38:37). He tells them to “make ministry moves that require God to show up” and to “make sacrificial prayer and fasting” (38:38-39:57). He then provides a word of prayer (39:58-41:07). Dr. Akin gives a final word (41:08-42:25).

The announcement of the Seminary’s Business Office setting up a fund for a Bangladesh relief offering is made (6:19-7:23). Another hymn is played (cut) (7:24-7:40). A Student Council member focuses on the question: what is truth (7:41-9:37)? Though not an easy question to answer, we still seek black and white answers for it (9:38-10:40). The member discusses that truth cannot be stated; it is seen in everyday life (10:41-12:32). Despite truth revealing itself to each of us uniquely as we seek it in our own ways, God’s revelations cannot be placed in a box: they must be experienced (12:33-13:49). The member concludes her discourse with the fact that we will always find more questions as we continue to seek the truth, and these questions will help us to realize that God is bigger than we ever imagined (13:50-14:41). The Student Council recites Scripture that focuses on truth (14:42-16:31). Three words of prayer are given (16:32-21:06). Candles are lit, symbolizing truth and love (21:07-21:49).

- Thomas A. Bland was Professor of Christian Ethics and Sociology at SEBTS. Bland is announced as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:09). Two hymns are played (0:10-6:39). Scripture reading is provided, and a hymn is played (cut) (6:40-7:15). A second Scripture reading, Isaiah 6:1-13, is given (7:16-10:14). A word of prayer is given (10:15-14:02). Another hymn is played (cut) (14:03-14:08). Bland begins his sermon with a focus on performing our privilege and obligation to gather together for real worship (14:09-17:04). He contrasts real worship to a theater: we are the actors and God is the audience/recipient of our worshipping whereas those watching actors on stage are the recipients of their actions (17:05-19:11). Bland discusses Isaiah’s “vital encounter with God” in chapter six (19:12-22:25). Just as Isaiah became aware of his sinfulness in comparison to God’s holiness, so do we when we truly worship God (22:26-23:49). Bland speaks of a cleansing and a forgiveness of sins that we can experience during real worship (23:50-24:38). During real worship, we must respond to God’s call (24:39-26:08). When we continually come to worship, we need to renew this response to God’s commission so that we may share the experience of true worship (26:09-28:37). Bland concludes with a word of prayer (28:37-29:30).

The congregation sings a song of worship (cut) (3:41-4:09). Prayer requests and a word of prayer are given (4:10-8:25). Haymes is introduced (8:26-9:20). The choir sings an anthem (9:21-11:46). Haymes begins with reading from Ephesians 3 (11:47-13:19). She gives a word of prayer (13:20-13:49). She speaks of turning to God’s Word when we need help/strength (13:50-18:13). Asking God for strength/power could be a good thing, but Ephesians 3 urges believers to seek God’s love (18:14-19:48). Haymes then poses the question: is God’s love enough against all our hardships (19:49-21:10)? This love seems simple; however, God’s love is uncommon as He loves us despite our sins (21:11-22:26). Though His love is a mystery, it is all we need (22:27-25:22). Haymes concludes with stating that nothing can or will separate us from His love (25:23-26:38). A word of prayer is given (26:39-27:02).

The congregation sings a song of worship (cut) (3:57-4:24). Headen is introduced (4:25-5:49). Habakkuk 2:1-4 is the day’s Scripture reading and a word of prayer is given (5:50-8:08). Another hymn is played (cut) (8:09-8:12). Headen praises Jesus and shows gratitude towards SEBTS (8:13-10:47). His sermon focuses on “the audacity of preaching” in the book of Habakkuk (10:48-12:48). He asks the question: why does God let His servants suffer (12:49-14:07)? In Habakkuk, Headen states that God’s answer is that He has a vision/purpose for His actions and that His followers are to write the vision plainly (14:08-19:14). Headen speaks of the vision God has revealed to him as one involving all people to be one in Christ (19:15-20:40). God can fulfill such visions, but we must be patient and not give up on these visions as they will only come to past in God’s time (20:41-23:06). Headen discusses two problems: 1) those who are too busy “being God” lose hope and faith and 2) the struggle of who receives the right vision (23:07-26:10). He concludes with urging the congregation to write the vision clearly and wait for it to happen when God commands it to happen (26:11-28:38). The sermon ends with Headen’s prayer and the benediction (28:39-29:36).

- Charles McMillian was the Director of Missions of the Raleigh Baptist Association. McMillian is announced as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:10). An opening hymn is played (0:11-5:28). The congregation sings a song of worship (cut) (5:29-5:40). Two Scripture passages (the first unknown and the second from 2 Kings 7:1-9) are read followed by a word of prayer (5:41-9:38). The choir sings a song of worship (9:39-12:38). A female missionary is welcomed and McMillian is introduced (12:39-14:48). McMillian begins with a word of gratitude towards SEBTS and its faculty and students (14:49-16:04). He focuses on the increase of a lack of missions, which has led to the disrespect towards ministers and denominational disharmony (16:05-17:37). He defines missions as “what we do in response to God’s commission to us.” (17:38-18:26). McMillian believes in Jesus’ second coming as well as judgment; however, he points out that there is also daily judgment (18:27-19:28). When we fail to prioritize missions, we are already being judged (19:29-19:43). McMillian compares the hopelessness that those in Samaria were experiencing due to a famine in 2 Kings 6 and 7 to today’s society (19:44-23:53). Despite this hopelessness, he mentions that there is good news: the gift of the Gospel (23:54-26:00). As Christians, we must be willing to risk everything to perform our responsibility of sharing this gift with the world (26:01-27:13). McMillian informs that unfortunately a loss of willingness to spread the Gospel has increased (28:38-29:38). He encourages individuals to find a reason to live through missions (29:39-31:04). He strongly states that churches need to make missions their priority and that hesitation leads to loss of missions (31:05-37:11). We must share the good news out of love as is required by the Great Commission (37:12-38:35). McMillian ends his address by comparing the story of not training his dog to the hesitation of not being involved in missions (38:36-41:23). The service concludes with a word of prayer and a hymn (41:25-46:35).

- Lewis Addison Drummond was the fourth president of SEBTS. The announcement that President Drummond will be speaking is made (0:00-0:07). An opening hymn is played (0:08-3:05). Eternal life and having fellowship with Jesus are briefly discussed (3:06-3:48). The congregation sings a song of worship (cut) (3:49-4:05). A word of prayer is said (4:06-5:05). The choir sings an anthem once the congregation is welcomed (5:06-7:12). Drummond preaches from 1 John 1, focusing on fellowship with God (7:13-9:29). Fellowship is an intimate walk with Jesus that displays His glory (9:30-10:38). Drummond reads from Exodus when Moses shone with the glory of God, as evidence that God is light just as John writes (10:39-14:53). We cannot walk in fellowship with God if we walk in darkness/sin (14:54-16:29). Drummond declares we must acknowledge that we sin and that Jesus’ blood cleanses us so we can have fellowship with Him (16:30-18:35). Walking continually in Jesus’ cleansing ensures our fellowship with Him (18:36-20:14). If we realize that we sin and confess them, Jesus washes them away (20:15-24:06). God forgives our sins because Jesus’ blood can “bleach out” the stains; and thus, allows us to have fellowship with Him (24:07-26:56). Drummond ends with a story about a pastor who found fellowship with God after experiencing a difficult circumstance (26:57-29:48). The sermon concludes with a word of prayer (29:49-30:16).

- Description:
- John Warwick Montgomery was a lawyer, Lutheran theologian, professor, and writer. Montgomery asks the congregation to write down two website addresses (0:00-2:19). He then begins his sermon by reading from Acts 26 (2:20-7:05). Using Paul’s defense against King Agrippa and Governor Festus as a guide, he focuses on how to preach the Word to a secular world (7:06-10:41). First, we must preach the Gospel for ourselves; the Gospel must be presented personally (10:42-12:28). Second, we must preach to all—the “small and the great” (12:29-14:58). Third, we must create common ground between us and non-believers (14:59-17:27). Montgomery speaks that we should begin with our testimonies, just as Paul did (17:28-21:37). However, the danger of testimonies is that non-believers have the tendency to focus on what the speaker experienced rather than connecting the experience to Jesus and His salvation (21:38-22:07). Testimonies should always lead someone from the subjective speaker to the objective Christ: this does not typically happen (22:08-22:57). A testimony is an overall good place to start when spreading the Gospel, but the message should be restricted to Scripture (22:58-24:42). The Gospel is the center of the message that liberals do not take seriously and that conservatives do not realize leads people to salvation (24:43-25:52). Jesus is the cornerstone that one must fall on to be saved, and the events in the Gospel occurred publicly for all (25:53-30:09). How the Gospel will be received is not certain, but we must remain faithful and always restrict the message to Scripture alone (30:10-31:02). A word of prayer concludes the sermon (31:03-31:33).

Simpson states that Jesus used the familiar to show the unfamiliar (41:01-44:37). He shares that in doing the will of God, one must trust and obey God and serve (44:38-57:25). The service closes with a word of prayer (57:25-58:26).
