- Description:
- Lewis Addition Drummond was the 4th president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and Professor of the History and Theology of Evangelism. The service opens with a word of prayer from Dr. George Braswell (00:00-02:14). President Lewis A. Drummond gives a word of greeting for the day of convocation for the inauguration of the Center for Great Commission Studies, and he introduces the seminar leaders and plenary speaker, all the conference attendees, and the board of trustees (02:15-06:25). Dr. Wayne McDill briefly speaks about the importance of evangelism, the Great Commission, and missions for Southern Baptists and Southeastern Seminary, and he presents a theme for the convocation service of “Heart for the World” (06:26-11:25). Drummond reads from Matthew 28:16-20, and he begins his sermon with his first point that the fulfilment of the Great Commission comes through the power of the Holy Spirit (11:26-18:17). Drummond’s second point is that God calls us to make disciples and not decisions, and he says that the power of the gospel message is Jesus Christ and his defeat of death in the resurrection (18:18-26:36). Drummond’s third point is that we are to baptize converts into the community of God and teach them the Scriptures, and he says that God desires believers to know and be like Jesus Christ (26:37-32:35). Drummond’s final point is that we need the presence of God, and he says God’s presence must reach the ends of the earth (32:36-37:15). Drummond concludes his sermon with a Great Commission litany (37:16-39:56). Dr. Delos Miles closes the convocation with a benediction (39:57-40:33).

- Description:
- Lewis Addison Drummond was the 4th president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and Professor of the History and Theology of Evangelism. Introductory music is played (0:00-1:24). The service begins with prayer (1:24-2:44). Further music is played (2:44-5:23). A welcome is extended to the students in the 40th year of the seminary, and recognition is given to the presidential advisory council and the faculty (5:29-8:16). There is a reading of 2 Chronicles 7:12-14 and James 5:7-8 (8:25-10:10). The Citation of Faculty Excellence is presented to Professor Thomas Albert Bland (10:21-13:30). Using the concept of renewal from 2 Chronicles 7, Dr. Drummond tells the story of Yale University’s history and spiritual awakenings that took place as an illustration of what God can do at educational institutions (13:32-19:04). He asks what people really want and directs the question to the students as they begin their educational journeys. He suggests that what each person desires is an encounter and renewal from God (19:04-21:51). He then provides insight into what this renewal may look like. Spiritual renewal would be brought by the Spirit of God, bring awareness and sensitivity to sin, offer forgiveness, raise awareness of the necessity of complete commitment to God, and produce a life of genuine ministry with the gifts of the spirit (21:51-29:30). He emphasizes that all of these things are for God’s glory (29:30-30:30). In order to see this renewal Dr. Drummond says the audience must seek God’s movement and talk about God’s work in each other’s lives (30:30-32:56). He then gives a final challenge of spiritual renewal and prayer to the seminary (32:56-35:34). Dr. Drummond concludes with a story of Winston Churchill’s “Never Give in Speech” and calls the audience to hold onto God until renewal is seen (35:34-38:03). A final presentation of music is given (38:08-42:30). Convocation is closed with prayer (42:30-43:55).
