  • SEBTS Chapel - Jim Shaddix February 16, 2010

    Descrizione:
    Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Dr. Daniel Akin welcomes listeners and introduces Jim Shaddix (0:00-0:32). Shaddix asks the congregation to turn to Ezra 8 and thanks the Seminary for allowing him to speak (0:33-1:40). His sermon focuses on spreading the Word without a backup plan, hence the title “Ministering Without a Backup Plan” (1:41-2:25). He reads from Ezra 8 (starting from verse 21) and gives a story about his unsuccessful attempt at growing a church (2:26-6:13). Shaddix describes two types of economies, with the first economy being one where growth/numbers mean success (6:14-7:09). The second economy is one similar to Ezra’s economy where no backup plan exists, where we have to depend on God showing up and revealing His glory (7:10-8:56). Shaddix provides three answers to what ministering without a backup plan looks like (8:57-9:13). First, it involves taking risks for the sake of God’s call to us to spread the Gospel: titles and salaries are not secure when we answer His call (9:14-16:16). Jesus talks of being prepared to give up everything in order to follow Him, but He will always be there by our sides (16:17-22:08). Second, having no backup plan is evident when we are jealous for God’s honor, when we desire for His glory to be shown (22:09-32:31). Third, it involves us humbling ourselves in desperate prayer, depending on God’s strength and crying out for God to show His glory (32:32-37:51). Shaddix concludes with saying that it is hard to minister without a backup plan and gives the congregation two challenges (37:02-38:37). He tells them to “make ministry moves that require God to show up” and to “make sacrificial prayer and fasting” (38:38-39:57). He then provides a word of prayer (39:58-41:07). Dr. Akin gives a final word (41:08-42:25).

  • SEBTS Chapel - Jim Shaddix March 1, 2012

    Descrizione:
    Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Dr. Daniel Akin welcomes listeners and provides the Seminary’s mission statement (0:00-0:31). Shaddix’s sermon focuses on worrying less about answering God’s call to mission (0:32-3:38). He states that anxiousness arises usually due to the uncertainty of being financially secure in ministry work (3:39-6:07). He presents nine points on worry in his sermon, “Worry-less Ministry,” which is based on the passage in Matthew 6:25-34 (6:08-7:02). The first point is the principle Jesus discusses that involves God promising to take care of His children’s needs in order for them to fully occupy themselves with pursuing Him and His kingdom (7:03-9:00). Shaddix defines worry in the Bible as being distracted from absorbing oneself with God (9:01-14:32). He then discusses four distractions, with the first one being material things (14:33-14:44). He uses the parable of the seeds in Mark 4 to convey that we become absorbed with satisfying our material needs (14:45-16:49). The second distraction is service, and Shaddix refers to Martha’s anxiousness of serving people instead of sitting at Jesus’ feet with Mary in Luke 10:38 (16:50-18:47). Another distraction is one’s spouse: Paul says in 1 Corinthians 7:32 that married people are focused more on worldly things than God due to them obtaining more responsibilities that come with marriage (18:48-24:08). Suffering is the fourth distraction that can consume our time (verse reference is Philippians 4:4-9) (24:09-25:54). Shaddix proclaims that Jesus will take care of you so you do not have to worry and can give all your attention to God (25:55-26:43). However, we have become more absorbed in material needs and have placed answering God’s call to minister second in our lives (26:44-27:18). Next, Shaddix gives three applications, with the first one being to “minister for more than maintenance,” for more than just meeting your needs (27:19-29:36). Acting like a child and allowing God to take care of you is the second application (29:37-33:29). Do not try to be God is the third application: we must let God have full control in our lives (33:30-34:13). Shaddix ends his sermons with an exhortation to seize the day by applying the principle of not worrying (34:14-35:55). He gives a word of prayer (35:56-36:32). Akin gives a final word (36:33-37:35).
