  • SEBTS Adams Lecture - John Rowan Claypool, IV February 13, 1980

    Description:
    John Rowan Claypool, IV was the pastor of Northminster Baptist Church in Jackson, MS. The service begins with a word of prayer and the singing of a hymn (0:00:00-0:02:26). Theodore Adams introduces John Rowan Claypool, IV as the Adams Lecturer (0:02:27-0:05:30). The choir sings a song of worship (0:05:31-0:07:54). John Claypool begins his lecture by speaking on the privilege to share a stage with Theodore Adam (0:07:55-0:09:04). He continues to speak on the question from the previous lecture about the aim of Christian ministry, and he says that the problem of our restless fulfilment begins with the first humans who chose fulfilment outside of God (01:09:05-0:15:22). Claypool moves to the topic of the current lecture, and he first investigates the nature of humans being image bearers and the need in ministry to value image bearers (0:15:23-0:42:11). He brings up the story of the prodigal son, and he uses the story to describe the process of a good minister faithfully working to bring the lost soul back to Christ (0:42:12-0:55:20). Claypool concludes his lecture by summarizing his key point that ministers are to help remind people of who they truly are as image bearers created for God’s good works (0:55:21-1:01:02). The service ends with a word of prayer and a benediction (1:01:03-1:02:17).

  • SEBTS Adams Lecture - John Rowan Claypool, IV February 12, 1980

    Description:
    John Rowan Claypool, IV was the pastor of Northminster Baptist Church in Jackson, MS. The service begins with a word of prayer (0:00:00-0:00:52). President Randall Lolley gives the community announcements, and he leads the audience in a word of prayer (0:00:53-0:04:16). John Rowan Claypool, IV is introduced as the Adams Lecturer (0:04:17-0:10:33). The choir sings a song of worship (0:10:34-0:13:36). John Claypool begins his lecture by speaking on the influence Theodore Adams has had on his life, and he asks the question of what he personally is about (0:13:37-0:19:11). His lecture centers on the objective question of what the aim of a Christian ministry is, and he first tells a story of a friend in ministry who suffered from what he called “cotton candy syndrome” (0:19:12-0:27:59). Claypool’s main idea is that humans by nature are restlessly looking for fulfilment, and he points to the message of Christ saying that fulfilment is not found somewhere else but God’s grace found in our hearts (0:28:00-1:02:57). The service ends with a word of prayer (1:02:58-1:03:37).
