- Description:
- Anne L. Neil was Consultant for Women in Ministry. Neil is announced as the Chapel speaker (0:00-0:07). A hymn is played (0:08-6:54). Luke 1:39-56 is the Scripture reading of the day (6:55-9:39). A list of concerns is discussed (9:40-11:05). A word of prayer is given (11:06-12:26). Anne Neil is introduced (12:27-13:14). Before she begins speaking, Neil asks for a moment of silence (13:15-13:59). Neil begins with a question, “where is the prophetic voice,” and then she expresses how Mary (Jesus’ mother) and her cousin Elizabeth were unlikely candidates to share the coming of Jesus (14:00-21:00). Both Mary and Elizabeth prophesied Jesus’ salvation (21:01-24:59). Neil discusses how Mary’s prophetic song in the book of Luke reveals the struggles of those who live in poverty and she asks the question: “where is compassion and biblical justice?” (25:00-28:26). She explains that the three sources of prophetic voices are the third world, the black churches of America, and women who all are called to proclaim the Gospel (28:27-33:19). A word of prayer is given (33:20-34:50). Neil closes with the wish that everyone would leave with “hope and God’s good humor” (34:51-35:02).

- Jack Stearns was the Director of the Mid-Atlantic Region of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education. Stearns is announced as the Chapel speaker (0:00-0:14). A hymn is played (0:14-3:15). A word of prayer is given, followed by a hymn (3:16-6:40). Guest visitors for Clinical Pastoral Education Day are welcomed and Stearns is introduced (6:41-11:36). A hymn is played (cut) (11:37-11:42). Reading from Luke 10:25-37, Stearns focuses on the “good neighbor” image of ministry (11:43-16:28). He speaks of the internal difference of the three neighbors from the Scripture that caused the different responses to the injured man (16:29-17:30). Perhaps the priest and the Levite were preoccupied with their cultural duties or other matters (17:31-20:34). The Samaritan showed compassion, implying that he was a man willing to care and a man who had experienced brokenness (20:35-22:03). Stearns then mentions that we all have a little of the priest and Levite in us (22:04-23:37). He also suggests that maybe the Samaritan was fulfilling the law to love God and others by showing compassion (23:38-24:05). Believers have a common bond that causes us to come to together to answer God’s call to ministry (24:06-26:27). Stearns ends with a final word on the good neighbor image: we are one body that God calls on to minister to others (26:28-28:21). A word of prayer concludes the service (28:22-30:37).

- Lewis A. Drummond was the fourth president of SEBTS. Billy Graham is introduced as the guest speaker for Drummond’s inauguration (0:00-0:15). A hymn is played (0:16-7:36). A word of prayer is followed by another hymn (cut) (7:37-8:47). The audience is greeted, and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Roy L. Honeycutt is presented (8:48-10:08). Honeycutt represents all the seminaries and theological schools in the U.S. and Canada and shows his support for Drummond’s inauguration (10:09-17:00). The Scripture reading for the day is from Psalm 84 and Acts 20 (17:01-20:53). Billy Graham is introduced (20:54-25:19). The choir sings an anthem (25:20-30:30). Dr. Graham greets everyone and reads Proverbs 29:18 and Acts 16:9 (30:31-37:21). He speaks of the calls to hear, help, and heed with a focus on evangelism and social service as well as proclaims his support of Drummond as SEBTS new president (37:22-1:04:58). A soloist sings (1:04:59-1:08:32). Chairman of the Board of Trustees Robert Crowley announces Drummond as the right leader for the Seminary and asks him to come forward to sign his name on the articles of faith (1:08:33-1:18:00). Drummond speaks of how proud he is to be the new president and promises to help students fulfill the Great Commission (1:18:01-1:28:12).

- Fisher Humphries was Professor of Theology at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Fisher Humphries is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:14). A hymn is played (0:15-3:07). A word of prayer is given, followed by another hymn (cut) (3:08-5:53). Humphries is introduced, and his message focuses on the Bible and spiritual formation as the second part to his previous message on the church (5:54-8:02). Humphries greets his audience and reads from Psalm 119 (8:03-9:24). He speaks of four ways Scripture forms our lives: it provides a Christian worldview, offers the experience of God’s reality, demonstrates how to live in ordinary life and in a community, and reveals our true identities (9:25-10:07). Scripture is effective in providing believers with a worldview that can be based on astronomy and geography, psychology, and history (10:08-13:08). Scripture impacts the Christian worldview: it assures us that the world is not shapeless, informs us that the world is not how God intended it to be, protects us against idolatry, teaches us to live in anticipation, and transforms the meaning of history (13:09-19:50). Humphries then speaks of how Scripture is a catalyst for experiencing God with a focus on conversion, prayer, guidance and strength, friendships, and Biblical stories (19:51-24:49). Reading from Proverbs, Humphries reinforces how Scripture gives practical guidance for living our lives (24:50-33:03). He also discusses how Scripture illustrates how to live in a community (34:00-35:49). Lastly, Humphries mentions how Scripture reveals our true identities and finally closes with a summary of the four main points of his lecture (35:50-41:19). A word of prayer is given followed by a hymn (41:20-43:43).

- Description:
- Fisher Humphries was Professor of Theology at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Humphries is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:28). Two hymns are played (0:29-4:37). A word of prayer is given, followed by another hymn (cut) (4:38-6:44). Humphries is introduced (6:45-9:43). Humphries thanks the Seminary for allowing him to speak (9:44-13:27). Based on 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, Humphries’ message concerns sanctification and spiritual formation (13:28-15:51). He provides four examples of believers’ self transcending impulse towards God: freedom, the need to understand, a desire for happiness, and the impulse to love and be loved (15:52-17:44). All these impulses are fulfilled in God, as spiritual formation (17:45-18:33). Humphries states that the best analogy of spiritual formation is one’s influence over another without manipulation (18:34-20:53). He plans to speak on two means of spiritual formation, the church and the Bible; the lecture on the church is for this day’s message while the one on the Bible is for the following day’s message (20:54-23:25). The church is both an institution and a fellowship, but God is more concerned with the people not an organization (23:26-24:53). Humphries explains that the church as an organization consists of people who contribute to spiritual formation and asks whether this is true of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) where opposition exists (24:54-27:23). He discusses Liberal Protestantism, Fundamentalism as a response to the former movement, and finally Evangelicalism which resulted due to the problems of Fundamentalism (27:24-32:42). However, disagreements in the Evangelicalism movement have occurred because it did not plant strong roots (34:43-38:31). Humphries compares the SBC, with its unstable foundation, to this movement; it also needs to strengthen its roots (34:38-38:31). He does say that God has and is using the SBC for spiritual formation despite its flaws, as the church has never been perfect and the church’s mission continues to be performed (38:32-40:19). He reinforces that the church is the people of God and a place of spiritual formation (40:20-42:47). He concludes with a recitation of the scripture reading from 1 Thessalonians (42:48-43:51). A word of prayer is given, and a hymn ends the service (43:16-46:13).

- James H. Blackmore was Emeritus Professor of A. Div. Studies and Visiting Professor of Biblical Studies. Blackmore is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:20). A hymn is played (0:20-4:50). A brief explanation of the use of a shofar (ram's horn) in scripture is provided, followed with one being blown for the congregation (4:51-8:50). A prayer is given, and a hymn is sung (cut) (8:51-9:48). The scripture reading is from Luke 22:24-34(9:49-11:21). Another prayer is spoken (11:22-13:23). The subject of the message regards believers facing temptations (13:24-18:45). Blackmore mentions a book based on the temptations of a preacher, from which he plans to discuss four temptations (18:46-19:14). The first temptation involves believers equating their thoughts of God with God Himself; however, words are limited and inadequate in comparison to God’s greatness (19:15-21:39). Though our minds are incapable of fully comprehending God, He calls us to a greater understanding (21:40-23:31). Blackmore speaks of the second centuries-old temptation which is to be jealous of one another (23:32-25:04). We should not be jealous because God has given everyone a gift to use for His glory (25:05-25:54). The third temptation concerns ministers neglecting their families as they become more prominent in their work (25:55-29:46). Working for a wage is the last temptation, and Blackmore reveals that God provides Himself as the greatest reward for those who work for Him (29:47-31:50). Blackmore ends his message with a request that the Holy Spirit be with them all, followed by a song of worship (31:51-33:40). The service concludes with another hymn (33:41-36:20).

- Roy E. De Brand was Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Roy E. De Brand is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:07). A hymn is played (0:08-3:59). Scripture reading is followed by another hymn (cut) (4:00-4:36). Prayer requests are made, and a word of prayer is given (4:37-8:44). The choir sings a song of worship (8:45-12:15). De Brand speaks about the necessity of an enduring faith for difficult times such as when Americans were fighting for independence from England (12:16-13:59). He focuses on the expression of faith found in the book of Lamentations 3:19-26 (14:00-17:36). Faith comes easy during the good times, but it is during the bad times when faith seems hard to find (17:37-19:09). De Brand discusses that it is easy to find faith as long as we acknowledge God’s eternal, steadfast love (1910-21:26). However, during difficult times, we lose sight of God’s love (21:27-22:04). As De Brand quotes Whittier’s poem Eternal Goodness, he speaks of God’s love always being there for us (22:05-23:28). He then adds that hope is necessary for finding faith during our trials as it provides us the “assurance that our inner strength is greater than our outward problems” (23:29-27:31). We will always face tough times, but hope and the knowledge that God is in control will sustain us (27:32-29:02). God does not disregard those who seek Him so we must be continuously looking to God for enduring faith (29:03-32:00). De Brand concludes with citing from Paul’s epistle to the Corinthians: love is the greatest of the three lasting things of this world (faith, hope, and love) (32:01-33:27). He gives a word of prayer (33:28-34:12).

- Lewis Addison Drummond was the fourth president of SEBTS. The announcement of President Lewis Drummond being the Chapel speaker for the Fall Convocation is made (0:00-0:08). Hymns are played (0:09-10:48). A word of prayer is given (10:49-12:11). Another hymn is played (cut) (12:12-12:19). Adjunct professors, new students, Vice President of External Affairs George Worrell, and guests are welcomed to the 38th academic year at SEBTS (12:20-16:28). George Worrell reads Colossians 2:1-7 as the day’s Scripture reading (16:29-17:48). C. Michael Hawn, Professor of Church Music, is given an award for faculty excellence (17:49-21:40). Drummond begins his sermon, based on Colossians 2:6-7 (21:41-23:04). He focuses on us, as the body of Christ, determining our destiny (23:05-24:34). Titling his sermon “Waking into Destiny,” Drummond speaks of walking in the spirit as a personal experience, but it can also be experienced on a corporate level (25:08-26:18). He informs that there are four principles within the passage from which he read, with one involving walking in godliness as individuals (26:19-31:17). He desires SEBTS to walk in godliness on a more collective level, as a whole (31:18-32:00). Drummond mentions the time when he felt God’s presence at another university and declares that walking in godliness can be the Seminary’s destiny as well (32:01-35:18). Two other principles he speaks of are “getting” and “giving:” since we have received so much from Christ, we should give back to others by sharing Jesus with them (35:19-40:17). Drummond wants SEBTS as an institution to give Jesus to others and to be rooted in the faith so that it can grow and mature as a place of prayer (40:18-47:46). The last principle is gratitude as we have so much to be thankful for in our lives (47:47-51:44). Drummond closes with a goal for SEBTS to glorify Christ by walking in godliness, giving as much as it has received, and showing gratitude (51:45-52:57). A word of prayer concludes the sermon (52:58-53:35).

- Thomas A. Jackson was the pastor of the Wake Forest Baptist Church. Jackon is announced as the Chapel speaker (0:00-0:10). Two hymns are played (0:11-5:15). Scripture reading is followed by a hymn (cut) (5:16-5:54). A request for prayer is announced, and a word of prayer is given (5:55-9:22). Jackson is introduced (9:23-11:18). The choir sings an anthem (11:19-13:21). Jackson speaks of an actor, Paul Alexander, who came to know Jesus and memorized the whole Gospel of John (13:22-15:01). He then reads from John 13, focusing on Jesus’ commandment to His disciples to love one another (15:02-16:06). Jackson discusses the topic of us, as Christians, representing Jesus faithfully (16:07-21:17). He reveals that many churches claim to be true representatives of Christ based on certain criteria (21:18-22:23). Not one of the criteria includes loving one another as Jesus loves us (22:24-23:42). He then tells a story of love among comrades, comparing it to how Jesus wants us to love one another (23:43-26:33). Jackson asks the congregation to pray to God to help them love one another as Jesus so that they may become as one (26:34-27:59). He concludes with a word of prayer (28:00-30:09).

- Donald E. Cook was the Professor of New Testament at SEBTS. Cook is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:14). Two hymns are played (0:15-4:08). A word of prayer is given, followed by another hymn (cut) (4:09-4:36). Scripture reading from Philippians 2:5-11 is provided, and a word of prayer is given (4:37-7:09). The choir sings a song of worship (7:10-9:11). Cook speaks of the time when he was helping to recruit students, and a woman asked him what does some Jew who died on the cross have to do with her (9:12-13:33). He explains that we should believe because of the words of Jesus (13:34-16:10). However, a friend of Cook asked why we should believe based on words: words are simply words (16:11-17:45). Cook answers that Jesus’ deeds should give us reason to believe, yet his friend tells him that Jesus’ deeds are not compelling (17:46-20:56). Cook finally tells his friend words and deeds do not form the basis of his faith, but Jesus’ death on the cross (20:57-21:26). Another question is asked: what makes Jesus different from all the other Jews who were crucified? (21:27-22:32). Cook proclaims Jesus as the Son of God whose presence, love, and life give meaning to His words and deeds and who is the basis of the Christian faith (22:33-25:31). Cook ends with saying that Jesus is our light, courage, love, and forgiveness that brings us together before God as His children (25:32-28:14). The sermon is concluded with a word of prayer (28:14-28:59).

- Donna M. Forrester was the Chaplain at SEBTS. Forrester is announced as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:27). An opening hymn is played (0:08-2:51). A male soloist sings (2:52-3:51). Scripture reading is provided from Isaiah 40:28-31 and Romans 12:9-21 (3:52-6:06). Concerns and celebratory topics are addressed (6:07-7:42). A word of prayer is given (7:43-8:45). Forrester speaks of the destruction of Coventry Cathedral and the city where it is located that occurred during World War II (8:46-13:04). The city was at a crossroads: it could respond with vengeance or forgiveness (13:04-14:16). She explains that the rhythm of Christian faith is crucifixion, forgiveness, and resurrection (14:17-14:25). She then returns to the story of Coventry Cathedral with a recount of the creation of two crosses at the site of destruction (14:26-15:35). The crosses were eventually placed in the newly rebuilt cathedral with the words, “Father, forgive,” inscribed on one of them (15:36-16:11). Now, the new cathedral is growing as an example of love being triumphant (16:12-17:08). Forrester speaks of how Calvary became more real to her after seeing the cathedral during her trip to Coventry, England (17:09-19:15). She then asks how did Jesus forgive and what does it take to forgive? (19:16-20:09). She explains that anger, bitterness, and hopelessness characterize one who does not forgive (20:10-23:36). Since we have been shown love and grace, we should show this kind of love to others through forgiveness (23:37-25:50). Forrester states that “forgiveness restores integrity and freedom to oneself and one’s relationships to others and to God” (25:51-26:30). We need to discover who in our lives needs to be forgiven (26:31-27:17). She discusses that it is our need and command to forgive as it restores relationships, frees us to end relationships, and reconciles us to God (27:18-28:14). When we forgive, we can know that we too are forgiven (28:15-28:34). Forrester concludes with a prayer (28:35-29:20). Another song is sung (29:21-32:50). The congregation recites a litany of forgiveness (32:51-35:41). The event ends with another song (35:42-36:34).

The announcement of the Seminary’s Business Office setting up a fund for a Bangladesh relief offering is made (6:19-7:23). Another hymn is played (cut) (7:24-7:40). A Student Council member focuses on the question: what is truth (7:41-9:37)? Though not an easy question to answer, we still seek black and white answers for it (9:38-10:40). The member discusses that truth cannot be stated; it is seen in everyday life (10:41-12:32). Despite truth revealing itself to each of us uniquely as we seek it in our own ways, God’s revelations cannot be placed in a box: they must be experienced (12:33-13:49). The member concludes her discourse with the fact that we will always find more questions as we continue to seek the truth, and these questions will help us to realize that God is bigger than we ever imagined (13:50-14:41). The Student Council recites Scripture that focuses on truth (14:42-16:31). Three words of prayer are given (16:32-21:06). Candles are lit, symbolizing truth and love (21:07-21:49). A hymn is played (21:50-24:55). The candles, representing the inner light of Christ that reveals truth, are extinguished (24:56-25:32). The benediction is given (25:33-26:09).

Another hymn is played (cut) (14:03-14:08). Bland begins his sermon with a focus on performing our privilege and obligation to gather together for real worship (14:09-17:04). He contrasts real worship to a theater: we are the actors and God is the audience/recipient of our worshipping whereas those watching actors on stage are the recipients of their actions (17:05-19:11). Bland discusses Isaiah’s “vital encounter with God” in chapter six (19:12-22:25). Just as Isaiah became aware of his sinfulness in comparison to God’s holiness, so do we when we truly worship God (22:26-23:49). Bland speaks of a cleansing and a forgiveness of sins that we can experience during real worship (23:50-24:38). During real worship, we must respond to God’s call (24:39-26:08). When we continually come to worship, we need to renew this response to God’s commission so that we may share the experience of true worship (26:09-28:37). Bland concludes with a word of prayer (28:37-29:30).

- Peggy Haymes was an associate pastor of College Park Baptist Church in Greensboro, NC. Haymes is announced as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:12). An opening hymn is played (0:13-3:40). The congregation sings a song of worship (cut) (3:41-4:09). Prayer requests and a word of prayer are given (4:10-8:25). Haymes is introduced (8:26-9:20). The choir sings an anthem (9:21-11:46). Haymes begins with reading from Ephesians 3 (11:47-13:19). She gives a word of prayer (13:20-13:49). She speaks of turning to God’s Word when we need help/strength (13:50-18:13). Asking God for strength/power could be a good thing, but Ephesians 3 urges believers to seek God’s love (18:14-19:48). Haymes then poses the question: is God’s love enough against all our hardships (19:49-21:10)? This love seems simple; however, God’s love is uncommon as He loves us despite our sins (21:11-22:26). Though His love is a mystery, it is all we need (22:27-25:22). Haymes concludes with stating that nothing can or will separate us from His love (25:23-26:38). A word of prayer is given (26:39-27:02).

- Gregory T. Headen was the President of Shaw University Divinity School in Raleigh, NC. Headen is announced as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:10). An opening hymn is played (0:11-3:56). The congregation sings a song of worship (cut) (3:57-4:24). Headen is introduced (4:25-5:49). Habakkuk 2:1-4 is the day’s Scripture reading and a word of prayer is given (5:50-8:08). Another hymn is played (cut) (8:09-8:12). Headen praises Jesus and shows gratitude towards SEBTS (8:13-10:47). His sermon focuses on “the audacity of preaching” in the book of Habakkuk (10:48-12:48). He asks the question: why does God let His servants suffer (12:49-14:07)? In Habakkuk, Headen states that God’s answer is that He has a vision/purpose for His actions and that His followers are to write the vision plainly (14:08-19:14). Headen speaks of the vision God has revealed to him as one involving all people to be one in Christ (19:15-20:40). God can fulfill such visions, but we must be patient and not give up on these visions as they will only come to past in God’s time (20:41-23:06). Headen discusses two problems: 1) those who are too busy “being God” lose hope and faith and 2) the struggle of who receives the right vision (23:07-26:10). He concludes with urging the congregation to write the vision clearly and wait for it to happen when God commands it to happen (26:11-28:38). The sermon ends with Headen’s prayer and the benediction (28:39-29:36).

- Charles McMillian was the Director of Missions of the Raleigh Baptist Association. McMillian is announced as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:10). An opening hymn is played (0:11-5:28). The congregation sings a song of worship (cut) (5:29-5:40). Two Scripture passages (the first unknown and the second from 2 Kings 7:1-9) are read followed by a word of prayer (5:41-9:38). The choir sings a song of worship (9:39-12:38). A female missionary is welcomed and McMillian is introduced (12:39-14:48). McMillian begins with a word of gratitude towards SEBTS and its faculty and students (14:49-16:04). He focuses on the increase of a lack of missions, which has led to the disrespect towards ministers and denominational disharmony (16:05-17:37). He defines missions as “what we do in response to God’s commission to us.” (17:38-18:26). McMillian believes in Jesus’ second coming as well as judgment; however, he points out that there is also daily judgment (18:27-19:28). When we fail to prioritize missions, we are already being judged (19:29-19:43). McMillian compares the hopelessness that those in Samaria were experiencing due to a famine in 2 Kings 6 and 7 to today’s society (19:44-23:53). Despite this hopelessness, he mentions that there is good news: the gift of the Gospel (23:54-26:00). As Christians, we must be willing to risk everything to perform our responsibility of sharing this gift with the world (26:01-27:13). McMillian informs that unfortunately a loss of willingness to spread the Gospel has increased (28:38-29:38). He encourages individuals to find a reason to live through missions (29:39-31:04). He strongly states that churches need to make missions their priority and that hesitation leads to loss of missions (31:05-37:11). We must share the good news out of love as is required by the Great Commission (37:12-38:35). McMillian ends his address by comparing the story of not training his dog to the hesitation of not being involved in missions (38:36-41:23). The service concludes with a word of prayer and a hymn (41:25-46:35).

- Lewis Addison Drummond was the fourth president of SEBTS. The announcement that President Drummond will be speaking is made (0:00-0:07). An opening hymn is played (0:08-3:05). Eternal life and having fellowship with Jesus are briefly discussed (3:06-3:48). The congregation sings a song of worship (cut) (3:49-4:05). A word of prayer is said (4:06-5:05). The choir sings an anthem once the congregation is welcomed (5:06-7:12). Drummond preaches from 1 John 1, focusing on fellowship with God (7:13-9:29). Fellowship is an intimate walk with Jesus that displays His glory (9:30-10:38). Drummond reads from Exodus when Moses shone with the glory of God, as evidence that God is light just as John writes (10:39-14:53). We cannot walk in fellowship with God if we walk in darkness/sin (14:54-16:29). Drummond declares we must acknowledge that we sin and that Jesus’ blood cleanses us so we can have fellowship with Him (16:30-18:35). Walking continually in Jesus’ cleansing ensures our fellowship with Him (18:36-20:14). If we realize that we sin and confess them, Jesus washes them away (20:15-24:06). God forgives our sins because Jesus’ blood can “bleach out” the stains; and thus, allows us to have fellowship with Him (24:07-26:56). Drummond ends with a story about a pastor who found fellowship with God after experiencing a difficult circumstance (26:57-29:48). The sermon concludes with a word of prayer (29:49-30:16).
