Stephen Blake Boyd was from the Department of Religion at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The service begins with organ music (0:00-6:55). Prayer concerns and celebrations are shared with the congregation and there is a moment of prayer (6:56-10:35). Stephen Blake Boyd is introduced as the chapel speaker (10:36-12:42). Boyd expresses his thanks for being able to speak and shares a portion of his testimony (12:43-14:34). Boyd speaks of the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and asks the congregation to remember what kind of life has been vindicated (14:35-16:00). He directs the congregation’s attention to the cleansing of the temple and the arrest in the garden of Gethsemane, reading the accounts from Matthew (16:01-19:19). Boyd speaks of the lifestyle of believers, which is not a way of self-abnegation or of a “martyr complex” but of the cross and sacrifice for the glory of God (19:20-31:22). Boyd closes the service in a word of prayer (31:23-32:14).
