- Thomas H. Graves was the minister of St. John’s Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina. The service begins with a moment of prayer (0:00-2:02). There is a congregational hymn (2:03-5:43). Dr. Morris Ashcraft mentions the changes with the order of service and recognizes the students and faculty members (5:44-11:00). Thomas Graves is introduced as the chapel speaker (11:01-11:59). Dr. Fred Grissom presents the Middler Theology Award (12:00-13:50). The ensemble sings “We glorify Thy name, O God” (13:51-16:29). Graves shares a story to illustrate the importance of integrity (16:30-18:12). Graves preaches that in a time of high emotions and transition that Southeastern should have pride in the seminary's integrity in all the seminary had been and stood for, in her faculty, her administration, and in her students (18:13-19:28). Graves sermon considers the loss of integrity and freedom in Baptist life. He mentions that Baptists lost their freedom to think (23:29), freedom to interpret Scripture through the agency of the Holy Spirit (26:43) and lost their freedom to minister (29:26). Graves states Baptists have lost these freedoms by falling into the temptation of telling people what they want to hear (32:37), the temptation of performance (33:25), and the temptation of power (36:05). Graves concludes his sermon indicating that Southeastern has been a place of integrity and will continue be a place where freedom lives (39:40). The congregation joins in singing a hymn (39:56-44:30). The service concludes in a moment of prayer (44:31-45:10).
