- Description:
- The service begins with prayer (00:00-00:30). A brief word precedes another prayer (00:31-03:51). President Stealey introduces the speaker, Davis C. Woolley, who was Secretary of the Historical Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention (03:52-06:16). Dr. Woolley begins by speaking about what the Historical Commission of the SBC does and its purposes to accomplish (06:17-08:10). He speaks of finding things in this world oftentimes by serendipity, applying that practice to how discovering new truths from Scripture as we study God’s Word (08:11-09:49). He transitions into speaking about 2 Corinthians 5:14, speaking of how the love of Christ gives the Christian no other choice but to glorify His name. This is the Christian’s manifest destiny (09:50-17:37). He closes his time in prayer (17:38-18:00).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of a poem (00:00-00:40) and prayer (00:41-04:45). 2 Corinthians 5:11-17 is read and discussed briefly (04:46-07:00). There is a brief time of singing and worship (07:01-11:19). There is no introduction for the speaker, Dr. Robert Cook Briggs, but he was Professor of New Testament Interpretation at SEBTS. The notion of a personal testimony in conjunction with 2 Corinthians 5:17 is discussed (11:20-15:34). The “newness” of the Christian situation is Paul’s emphasis, and it can evoke different kinds of responses (15:35-18:00). In Paul’s new life, anxiety, worry, and distress all played a crucial role by causing him to cast himself onto Christ and other Christians (18:01-26:37). He ends his time with prayer (26:38-27:00).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Matthew 7:12 (00:00-00:15), a prayer update (00:16-01:01), and prayer (01:02-05:04). An introduction is given for the speaker, Douglas M. Branch, the Executive Secretary of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (05:05-07:47). His message centers on the Great Confession and the Great Commission from the Gospels (07:48-10:35). They both were set within a sphere of inquiry (10:36-13:52), and they both were revelatory of God’s mission on earth for us to carry out (13:53-15:58). The involvement of this mission has two facets: to continue to have a renewed sense of the divine call on our lives (15:59-17:56) and to be a part of the whole movement of Jesus Christ beyond simply our local setting (17:57-19:39). Our unity is spiritual, brought about by the Holy Spirit; our freedom is to obey the leadership of the Holy Spirit; and our work is to be in harmony with other Baptists in the Holy Spirit (19:40-21:08). He ends his time in prayer (21:09-22:25).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Philippians 2:12b-13 (00:00-00:18), prayer (00:19-03:42), and announcements (03:43-09:26). No introduction was given for Sydnor Lorenzo Stealey, but he was the first president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He proceeds to read 2 Corinthians 2:14-17 and Hebrews 13:15-16 from the KJV (09:27-11:26), and then the same passages again from the Amplified New Testament (11:27-13:38). Stealey talks about an increasing willingness to look into our life and to try to make the institutional church conform more nearly to the spiritual church (13:39-16:02), and he advocates for the Home Mission Board (now the North American Mission Board) for students to participate in the Pioneer Program throughout the West (16:03-16:33). He then reads from the most recent issue of Home Mission Magazine, calling attention to the issue of segregation in public schools, which would continue to deepen the division between church and state (16:34-18:40). The main point of his message is this: in our living, we can do right, according to our conscience and our spiritual Leader, who is Christ (18:41-18:59). He concludes his time speaking about the cooperative program’s longevity in Southern Baptist life (19:00-21:50) and in prayer (21:51-22:09).

- Description:
- The service begins with a general command to praise God (00:00-00:07), a prayer (00:08-02:08), and an introduction for the speaker, John Allen Easley, from Wake Forest College (02:09-03:20). He begins by reading selected verses from the end of John 6 (03:21-05:20) and opening appreciations for being in chapel at SEBTS (05:21-06:59). He then mentions different ways this tenth anniversary of SEBTS might be celebrated, according to reflecting on the past, looking forward to the future, or reaffirming convictions for the present. The latter is the view which Easley attributes most importance (07:00-07:58). According to the text of John 6 in light of John’s Gospel, His disciples needed to look beyond the events of Jesus’ ministry to Jesus Himself as the substance to which those events point (07:59-12:23). This “looking deeper” may cause us to reflect on both our churches and ourselves, and living for Christ will require us to show courage and dedication, promising eternal life and peace (12:24-21:21). He closes his time in prayer (21:22-22:36).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 42:1-2 (00:00-00:21) and prayer (00:22-01:52). Information about interactions between students and faculty is shared (01:53-03:35), and a brief introduction/welcome is given for Henry Riley, the speaker, as well as those present with him from Duke Divinity School (03:36-04:25). He reads from Mark 8:34-38 as his sermon text (04:26-06:16) before praying (06:17-07:14). He begins by speaking about different types of anxiety, highlighting the most severe and costly as the anxiety of the cross—the anxiety of losing one’s life in hope it will be raised up again (07:15-12:00). This anxiety of the cross calls for one to totally deny self, to participate in Jesus Christ, and to live worthy of the gospel, even Jesus Christ Himself (12:01-18:12). He ends his time in prayer (18:13-18:55), and choral music closes the service (18:56-24:22).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Isaiah 55:1-2 (00:00-00:38), prayer (00:47-03:37), and the reading of 2 Peter 1:1-11 (03:48-06:00). No introduction was given for Thomas Albert Bland, but he was Associate Professor of Christian Sociology and Ethics. He begins by talking about the importance of the “frontier” in American history, taking note of the race for space but placing importance on the frontier of the inner man (06:01-08:13). Bland says that Peter, in this text, focuses on Faith’s Frontier, identifying seven qualities of life which are to be added to one’s faith; he was not academic but practical, having been personally impacted by the life and ministry of Jesus Christ (08:14-11:37). Bland then continues walking through the list mentioned in the text one item at a time, building upon the foundation of faith. He notes that faith and knowledge go together, so long as knowledge has self-control so that it does not puff one up in conceit (11:38-19:06). He ends his time in prayer (19:07-19:46).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 34:8 (00:00-00:21). An introduction is given for Dr. Ernest Mayfield Ligon, who was the Director of the Character Research Project at Union College in Schenectady, NY, as he delivers the second meditation in this series on the Lord’s Prayer (00:22-00:44). Dr. Ligon begins by reading Matthew 6:5-13 and offering some opening words (00:45-02:55). He recaps from the first meditation briefly (02:56-03:47). His message this day focuses on what you will do, based on verses 10-12. He outlines that most discovery comes from creative conflict and not from individual discovery (03:48-11:05). Next, he posits that we could never learn enough to worry God in His omniscience; while we could never know more than God, we should always seek to learn more, for we will never know everything (11:06-15:53). He views verse 11 as the realistic part of the prayer (15:54-17:58). He views verse 12 in this light as well (17:59-19:36). His last petition is on the words “lead us” in verse 13, which he views as communicating the willing, humble attitude which people need if they tend to have a “self-made” mentality (19:37-22:22). He ends in prayer (22:23-24:12), and the service ends with the singing of Numbers 6:24-26 (24:13-25:26).
