- Description:
- The service begins with the mention of the recent tragic death of Norris Wilson, a SEBTS graduate from Henderson (00:00-00:38), followed by a reading of Psalm 34:1-3 (00:38-01:00). No introduction was given for Wilbur Todd, but he was Business Manager at SEBTS. He speaks on the individual familiarities of the two words “soul” and “power” in the world (01:01-03:47). He then considers the words together, “soul power,” to mean for the Christian one’s “strength of mind and heart” (03:48-04:21). Some say that God’s power can work in and through us only if we surrender to the point where this is possible; this view leads to a mindless, robotic obedience which is unlike the way God created us to love Him (04:22-06:37). Some effectively believe, while they may not say, they are self-sufficient, without need of Christian discipleship in their own lives (06:38-08:03). Todd argues that for most Christians, these two views are both present but balanced. Our soul power comes from the indwelling presence of the living Christ (08:04-12:09). He ends his time in prayer (12:10-12:39).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 19:7-9 (00:00-00:41) and prayer (00:52-02:04). A brief introduction is given for Jim Allen, the pastor of the speaker, Robert Morgan (02:05-02:31). Jim Allen introduces Robert Morgan according to his Christian testimony, education, and working background. He served 5 consecutive terms as senator of Harnett County in North Carolina, and he was the Attorney General of the State of North Carolina. The title of his address is “The Christian and Politics” (02:32-04:29). He does not believe that the church should involve itself in protestant politics nor divide its congregation by taking dogmatic positions on political issues; however, he does believe the church should seek to find Christian answers for the problems that confront us in daily life and also in government circles. There is no prohibition between a mixture of politics and religion in the Constitution, and Christians cannot keep the two separated (04:30-16:02). To do this, we must show charitable compassion, a Christian voice in politics, and encouragement for governmental leadership (16:03-28:56). He ends his time in prayer (28:57-29:14), and the service ends with low instrumental music (29:15-29:23).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 118:24 (00:00-00:19), responsive reading #29 (00:20-01:57), and prayer (01:58-02:45). No introduction was given for Sherman Lewis, but he was a student at SEBTS. His message centers on Ezekiel 37:1-14, and he points out that the dead bones refer to the Jews in captivity in Babylon (02:46-06:21). He then relates this “deadness” to our current churches, in which many pastors simply desire to preach a sermon on Sunday but do not desire to cultivate the lives of those in their care (06:22-08:52). He also relates this “deadness” to the existence of racism as that which is not living—not behaving according to God’s good design. In this, he optimistically focuses on the sovereign rule of God and the promise of the restoration of these evils when love and peace will reign on the earth (08:53-11:44). We must be ready to deal with the difficult and oftentimes avoided circumstances in life as Christians who are bold because they know the Living God. We must be able to say “thus sayeth the Lord” in our own time (11:45-14:06). Lewis closes his time in prayer (14:07-15:59).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Mark 13:33-37 (00:00-00:46) and prayer (00:47-03:57). The speaker gives general information about the upcoming visit by the Board of Trustees and other miscellaneous information (03:58-06:22). Sidney Randolph Crumpton is introduced as the chaplain over the southeastern states. He was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Twelfth Headquarters of the U.S. Army Corps. His educational background is also discussed (06:23-08:15). After making some introductory remarks, he begins by saying that there is no difference between serving God in the church and serving God in the chaplaincy, for in both we are serving the same God (08:16-12:45). Chaplaincy requires the endorsement of one’s local church (12:46-13:35), a BD degree from a seminary and passing physical testing (13:36-14:37), requesting to go on active duty and potentially going overseas in time (14:38-15:15). He concludes his time by affirming the present need and benefit of being a chaplain in the U.S. Army (15:16-18:20) before giving the benediction of Numbers 6:24-26 (18:21-18:39).

- 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 Psalm 95:6-7 (00:00-00:18) and the sermon text, Isaiah 40:1-31 (00:19-03:15), followed by prayer (03:16-05:05). No introduction is given for the speaker, Gene Owen. He begins by emphasizing God’s sovereignty and providence as One who holds the entire world in His hands, as One who worked through Joseph’s evil circumstances for the good of him and his family (05:06-08:10). He warns next about having a childish view of the providence of God expressed in an unembarrassed use of God’s name. This will lead to us fashioning God in our image, according to ourselves (08:11-10:50). Others possess a “mature,” adult view of God’s providence, in which man denies his need for God or His self-revelation through the Bible. He links this view with American capitalism and independence, calling us to rethink our clichés according to the truth of God from Scripture (10:51-14:25). The view of providence which Owen advocates is a childlike view, a simple belief in the totality of God’s providence from a place of complete dependence on God (14:26-19:04). He ends his time in prayer (19:05-19:33).

- Description:
- No introduction was given for Troy Bennett, but he was a missionary in Southern Asia and a former graduate of SEBTS. He recounts the cultural differnces between his home and the mission field, remembering what he and his family had to learn while there, including customs, language, etc. (00:00-05:58). He then talks about a bothering question, “What is a Christian,” concerning which he received affirmative answers from many who did not know themselves what it meant to be a Christian. Identifying as Christian here meant identifying against over 85% of the Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu population (05:59-12:52). He then speaks about his experience of those in the East viewing the American West as “Christian” (12:53-17:07). Bennett referred to the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5-7 to determine what it truly means to be a Christian (17:08-21:01) before closing his time in prayer (21:02-22:38). Organ music ends the service (22:39-24:42).

- 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 readings of Isaiah 40:31 and Psalm 27:14 (00:00-00:28). No introduction is given for John Terrill Wayland, but he was Professor of Religious Education. He begins by speaking about America’s status for popularity concerning religion, questioning its legitimacy. He mentions statistics showing that more activities occur in church today than prayer, proceeding to emphasize the importance and difficulties of recovering prayer in our churches. These difficulties include one’s intellect, devotion, and, most of all, desire to be with God (00:29-06:22). Created in the image of God, we find our highest self in prayer, not merely in thinking or in struggling (06:23-08:27). Jesus’s disciples saw the effects of prayer on Him, saying to Him, “teach us to pray” (08:28-09:16). Prayer is a combination of two great truths: we must surrender our wills completely to God’s will, and we must assert ourselves to commune with God in faith (09:17-10:54). It is good to know that all that we ask will not be done by God, since God will accomplish His purposes instead of our purposes (10:55-12:10). We should pray so that we might find God and His strength for daily living as well as to see prayers answered for the good of all in God’s timing (12:11-13:54). He closes his time by reciting a poem about prayer (13:55-14:44) and praying (14:45-15:20).
