    SEBTS Chapel - Richard Groves April 23, 1986
    Description:
    Richard Groves was the pastor of Wake Forest Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The service begins with music (0:00-1:49). There is a moment of prayer (1:50-4:03). The visitors at the chapel service are recognized (4:03-4:59). Richard Groves is introduced as the chapel speaker (5:00-6:32). The choir sings an anthem (6:33-9:37). Groves reads Scripture from Matthew 5 and shares an anecdote from his life to illustrate retaliation (9:38-12:32). Groves shares that the church needs to give a critique about giving an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth and teach it (12:33-15:20). He discusses this idea regarding the tension between the Israelis and Arabs and how applying such a principal in practical ways “works” (15:21-26:35). Groves argues that only the way of Jesus holds open the possibility that one’s enemies will cease being one’s enemies (26:36-29:23). Groves ends the service in a word of prayer (29:24-30:31).
