    SEBTS Chapel - Thomas Furman Hewitt and C. Michael Hawn October 27, 1988
    Description:
    Thomas Furman Hewitt was Professor of Christian Ethics. C. Michael Hawn was Professor of Church Music (these two names were not announced in the recording, but were in the description section). The service begins (abruptly) with a recitation regarding the saints of God (0:00-0:40). A prayer of confession follows (0:41-1:41). A statement is given concerning how nothing can separate us in Christ (1:42-2:11). The choir sings a song of worship (2:12-5:52). Scripture reading is taken from the books of Revelation, Colossians, and John (5:53-9:26). Another song is sung (9:27-10:07). An affirmation of faith is recited followed by a word of prayer (10:08-14:28). The Chapel speaker begins his message by recounting the correspondence between a German professor and soldier during World War II on All Saint’s Day with a focus on death as the enemy (14:29-18:14). He explains that Christians are assured that death is not the end, evident by the celebration of All Saint’s Day—a day commemorating those already living in Jesus’ resurrected presence (18:15-19:32). Our personal fellowship with God gives us hope and assurance that death has no power (19:33-21:33). The speaker conveys that Jesus destroyed the power of death so that it cannot separate us from God, as he quotes the writer of Hebrews (21:34-23:51). He returns to his account of the German professor and the soldier to reinforce that in Christ we can overcome death (23:52-26:22). The choir sings another song of worship (26:23-28:28). The service ends with a prayer of commemoration and commitment (28:29-30:47).
