- Description:
- 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).
