- Dr. L. Keith Harper was Assistant Professor of Church History. Dr. Harper is introduced (0:00-2:19). The choir sings a song of worship (cut) (2:20-2:25). Dr. Harper thanks the musicians and instructs the congregation to turn to 1 Kings 22 (2:26-2:51). Before delving into Scripture, Dr. Harper briefly mentions Dr. Stephen Andrews and his archaeological work (2:52-3:56). He asks the question: what do you do when you want to do right, but everyone else wants you to make the decision that is morally wrong? (3:57-4:50). He then reads from 1 Kings 22, focusing on the prophet Micaiah and how he faced adversity (4:51-7:49). There will be times where it feels like you are against everyone else (7:50-9:00). Dr. Harper provides three ways how Micaiah dealt with adversity, with the first one involving Micaiah knowing his identity (9:01-17:58). Second, Micaiah knew what to expect (17:59-19:44). He knew that he faced a demand for conformity, false religion, and intense hatred (19:45-22:35). Dr. Harper discusses that as believers we must make a stand for Christ by not conforming, not following false religion, and acting more Christ-like in the face of hatred (22:36-28:06). Third, Micaiah knew how to cope with adversity by enduring the consequences (28:07-30:39). Dr. Harper concludes with expressing that God’s path is not the one with the least resistance and that a generation that will not conform to this world is needed (30:40-32:57).

- Dr. L. Keith Harper was Professor of Baptist Studies. Dr. Daniel Akin offers a word of welcome and provides the school’s mission (0:00-0:35). Dr. Harper begins his sermon by reading from Philippians 3:1-14 (0:36-3:17). He explains that the main theme of Philippians is the sufficiency of Christ (3:18-5:02). He separates the Scripture reading into three parts: Paul’s warning (verses 1-6), what Paul wanted more than anything else (verses 7-11), and Paul’s confession (12-14) (5:03-5:27). In verses 1-6, Paul warns his readers of the enemies of the cross who place the law above faith and warns them of themselves (5:28-13:01). Reading from verses 7-11, Dr. Harper discusses Paul’s desire to know Christ better after his conversion on the road to Damascus and illustrates that Paul’s greatest gain was losing his old life (13:02-25:38). Dr. Harper presents Paul’s confession in verses 12-14: Paul is continuing to run the race for the glory of God (25:39-29:58). He then provides a quote from J.I. Packer’s “Knowing God” and expresses his wish that all believers would seek a deeper understanding of God (29:59-34:08). He concludes his sermon with a prayer (34:09-34:46). Dr. Akin gives a final word (34:47-35:50).

- Dr. L. Keith Harper was Professor of Baptist Studies. Dr. Harper offers a word of thanks, recognizes several people in the congregation, and reveals that he will be speaking about the missionary Issachar Jacox Roberts who greatly shaped the Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board (0:00-2:29). He begins with Roberts’ conversion to Christianity and his eventual desire to conduct missions in China; however, Roberts did not establish a secure connection with the Foreign Mission Board (2:30-10:03). Roberts’ quasi-independent missionary status caused problems for his fellow missionaries and he was prone to complain about financial matters (10:04-11:58). Dr. Harper explains that Roberts also reached out to the Foreign Mission Board to send a woman to China to become his assistant and wife (11:59-15:56). The financial dispute continued until the Board gave in to Roberts (15:57-17:30). The Board sent Harriet Baker to China as a missionary not as a wife for Roberts; this led to Virginia Young wanting to go to China, but she was declined (17:31-19:06). Virginia Young and Roberts somehow met, married, and traveled to China (19:07-19:52). This visit and Roberts’ prior conflicts with the Foreign Mission Board would change the lives of all those associated with mission work in China (19:53-23:39). Dr. Harper discusses the criticism that arose when the Foreign Mission Board severed connections with Roberts, which led to Roberts’ complaint of the decision affecting his wife’s health and his monetary position (20:40-30:15). Roberts desired to form an only male missionary committee, with the hope of achieving individual freedom and harmony (30:16-33:13). After the negative information about Roberts leaked from the annual meeting of the Richmond Foreign Mission Board, he lost support (33:14-36:21). His wife left him in China, but he did eventually return to America where he died of leprosy (36:22-37:11). Roberts left his estate in China to another missionary, leaving mothing for his wife (37:12-37:57). Dr. Harper clarifies that Roberts’ missionary life raised questions regarding how missionaries were to answer their calling and how they were to relate to others (37:58-38:28). He conveys that Roberts forced the Foreign Mission Board into forming its own identity and establishing its authority over its missionaries, shaped Southern Baptist journalism, helped in promoting single women in the field of missions, and raised questions concerning how missionaries were to live and interact with each other during missions (38:29-45:56). Dr. Harper expresses that more questions than answers has resulted from this research (45:57-46:31; he is cut off mid-sentence).
