    SEBTS Chapel - Debra Griffis-Woodberry October 27, 1982
    Description:
    Debra Griffis-Woodberry was the Minster of Education at Ridge Road Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC. The service begins with the reading of the Greatest Commandment from Matthew 22 and a word of prayer (00:00-02:12). Bob Richardson introduces himself, and Debra Griffis-Woodberry is introduced as the chapel speaker (02:13-05:19). Griffis-Woodberry delivers the Scripture reading from Micah 6:6-8 and Mark 9:2-8 (05:20-07:50). The choir sings the anthem (07:51-14:03). Griffis-Woodberry seeks to answer the questions of whether Jesus Christ and the church are relevant in today’s world, and she observes that Christian tend to either use their identity as a protection or compartmentalize their lives away from the world (14:04-26:18). Griffis-Woodberry concludes her sermon with the story of the Mount of Transfiguration, and she says that Christians should not make the same mistake as Peter who sought to stay on the mountain (26:19-32:41). The service ends with a benediction (32:42-33:11).
