- Description:
- An unnamed female speaker begins the address entitled “Faith Dispersed” by telling a story about two creatures and taming. She transitions into how Jesus has tamed human hearts and how our evangelistic process must be a sort of taming (waiting some time while patiently pursuing someone’s trust) as we build bridges in love and understand their struggles in empathy (00:00-11:00). Next, James Y. Green follows up the initial address with an extension of the same title, “Faith Dispersed,” in which he calls his listeners to “jump in” to the world of God’s global mission (11:01-17:34). He mentions pre-requisites, essential presuppositions, and an understanding of suffering that we must have before we can “go out” on mission (17:35-19:13). We must understand not only who we are as Christians but also the social structures we are going into; we must know the presupposition that God is working actively in the world outside of the walls of a church building (19:14-24:59). Also, we must know the value of what we are sharing, not only in personal morality but also in concern for the world (25:00-35:21). We must go out in dispersion in response to the powerful sending God, even the Lord Jesus Christ; our dispersion must be done in relationship with the living God and in relationship with the community of the saints (35:22-40:46). Two reasons for dispersal are an assurance of the significance of being sons of God along with the concern for the world having been (and being) the objects of God’s concern (40:47-44:50). He ends his time in prayer (44:51-45:38), and the service ends with music (45:39-48:38).

- Description:
- The service begins with music and transitions into the first of two addresses, entitled “Trouble-Shooters For God.” In the first address, Eva Marie Kennard first outlines the purpose of the natural beauty of the created world as being designed to lead us to marvel at God, and she focuses next on being trouble-shooters for God. These people are those who find mechanical breakdowns and repair them to their original working order (00:00-11:39). In the second address entitled “The Trouble With the World,” Ross Coggins outlines this trouble with sin, displaying its effects in major world issues such as a hardening of the categories we have created (slavery and obesity), emotional disturbances (suicide and the need to go to war to prove strength), and metaphysical myopia (not knowing where God is or what He is doing). Coggins closes his message by speaking to a condition of the heart which he calls “passion fatigue” (11:40-44:51), and he ends his address in prayer (44:52-45:46). The service closes with music which gets louder toward 46:02.

- 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 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 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:
- Various verses of the Bible are read (00:19-01:10), and an opening prayer occurs (01:26-02:44). Hymn #340, “The Prayer Hymn” is sung in worship (03:00-05:37). There is no introduction for Dr. Green, but he was Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament at SEBTS. Dr. Green begins his message with a contemplation of whether or not we as God’s children may bring our personal needs/concerns to Him, concluding that we can (05:38-08:05). He also mentions the distinctive quality of his subject, intercessory prayer—involving not only our needs but primarily the needs of others—as he cites Romans 8:26 to say that the Holy Spirit also intercedes on our behalf to the Father (08:06-11:25). Dr. Green lists some prerequisites of intercessory prayer, such as three theological foundations: we come from God and are utterly dependent on Him in this life; we are unified to one another in Christ even if we are not present with each other; and we belong to God as His children (11:26-21:16) Lastly, Dr. Green speaks about the price of intercessory prayer, including its intensely social aspect and its highly unselfish nature (21:17-21:50). Intercessory prayer for someone else is incomplete without praying God’s will to be done in yourself as well (21:51-26:41). He then closes the service in prayer (26:42-27:11).

- Description:
- The service opens by the reading of Luke 4:16-20a (0:00-01:33), followed by a mention of worship to “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross,” but the music cuts out (01:34-02:04). An opening prayer is given (02:05-05:02). Garland A. Hendricks, the Director of Field Work, begins his message with a story from New Delhi, India in 1959 concerning the Caste system there. He describes the condition in India concerning their poverty, their Caste system, their way of living, and their economic conditions, affirming that “India is a democracy growing up” (05:03-11:01). He then transitions to the year 1960 in New Delhi, as democracy was making progress in India and arising problems were evidence of growth and development there (11:02-12:40). He then transitions to the year 1965 (the current year) in North Carolina at SEBTS, recording that Christians face problems even here, where hunger, starvation, and warfare are not every-day concerns (12:41-14:51). He requests of God that He would use SEBTS as a center to spread the gospel across the world as His people there continue to abide in Jesus Christ (14:52-18:07). Hendricks then offers a closing prayer, asking for sustaining grace to the people of God for the work ahead of them (18:08-18:27).

- Description:
- The title of the address is "Seeing Jesus,” and the main Scriptures include the following: Luke 24:25-27, 32, 50-53, Acts 7:55-56. This chapel's opening Scripture is Psalm 119:1-2, referring to those who are blessed who walk in the law of the LORD, who keep His testimonies, and who seek Him with their whole heart (00:50-01:00). The opening prayer speaks of thanksgiving to God, preparation of the hearts of those listening, and full reception of the message, for God's glory (01:13-03:35). An introduction is given for Crate Jones: a native of Louisville, Kentucky, who served as Pastor of a church in Rolesville, North Carolina. He has a college degree from the University of Wake Forest, and he has a theological degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (03:40-04:37). His message focuses on the three ways we will see Jesus: from the Scriptures, in our own hearts, and one day, in person (04:42-06:33). He gives six comparisons to Jesus's humanity and divinity from the Gospels, ranging from Jesus's calming the storm to resurrecting from death in glory (12:37-14:28). He gives an illustration from Dr. E. Stanley Jones about seeing Jesus in our hearts, viewing Christ's work on the cross as "Love crucified by sin" (15:22-18:44) Through a classroom illustration, Jones makes the point that the only thing God cannot see is sin which has been covered by the blood of Jesus (18:45-19:53). Finally, from 1 John 3:2, Crate Jones concludes his message by leading his hearers to imagine gazing upon the person of Jesus Christ forever in Heaven (20:30-25:54). His closing prayer is that Jesus would become even more real to Christians and that they may know Him from the Scriptures (27:48-29:00).

- Description:
- Instrumental music plays (0:00-01:59), and an opening prayer is offered to God (02:04-04:36). Worship continues with “God of Grace and God of Glory” (04:50-08:26), and a responsive reading from “Selection 96” occurs between the speaker and the audience (08:27-10:12). An introduction is given for other SEBTS faculty briefly before Dr. Copeland delivers his message (10:13-13:00). No formal introduction was given for Dr. Copeland, but he was Professor of Missions at SEBTS, and his message is on the person of Albert Schweitzer. Dr. Copeland begins his message with the words of Norman Cousins, a great friend and admirer of Schweitzer, a missionary to Africa, on the account of his death (13:01-17:33). Dr. Copeland outlines Schweitzer’s controversial character, offering criticisms that could be made concerning his pantheistic outlook on God, his neglect of the reality of divine atonement, and his representation of an age of paternalism in missions (17:34-20:14). However, Dr. Copeland affirms that these criticisms do not effectively detract from the impact of his life, including his positions against conformism, materialism, and inhumanity, his intellectual genius and mastery of certain fields, his faith that outshone his theology, his life that outshone his faith, and his successful efforts to block nineteenth century liberalism’s attempts to remake Jesus in the form of the nineteenth century as opposed to the first century (20:15-23:01). Dr. Copeland quotes Dr. Pelican’s words concerning Schweitzer’s answer to criticisms made concerning his life and theology. The quote communicates the relevant and relatable style in which the Gospels were written as opposed to the less relatable and existential style of Proverbs (23:02-25:08). Dr. Copeland ends by reading a quote from Dr. Schweitzer himself which emphasizes the authoritative real version of Jesus—the historical Jesus—who calls those who follow Him to be “other than” the world instead of “like” the world and who reveals Himself to both the simple and wise without regard of persons (25:09-29:23). Dr. Copeland closes his message with a brief prayer (29:31-29:49).

- Description:
- The opening prayer emphasizes a plea for God's forgiveness for our lack of obedience to Him and for our disobedience against Him (00:06-02:22). An introduction was given of Elmer West as the pastor of a church in Washington D.C., having formerly served for ten years as personnel secretary of the Foreign Mission Board (now the International Mission Board). Also stated, he received degrees from the University of Richmond, Colgate-Rochester Crozer Divinity School, and the University of Chicago. He completed his education from the North Carolina Baptist State Hospital, but his ultimate education came from marrying a missionary, the daughter of Dr. Watts who taught in Palestine (04:09-05:47). The title of this address is "Missionary as Servant" (09:02-10:13). Words such as pastor, teacher, administrator, organizer, popular speaker, etc. often characterize those who lead in the church, but "servant" is hardly ever one of them; yet, this is the description of Jesus Christ Himself, who came not to serve but to be served and to give His life as a ransom for many (10:14-10:45). Without a servanthood in missions, our churches will grow larger in size while shrinking in membership (17:00-17:27). West urges the denominations of Protestantism to come together in Christ for the propagation of the Gospel to those who have never heard it (17:28-28:24). He also strongly exhorts Americans to humility in hearing from our brothers and sisters overseas, valuing and benefiting from their input instead of just sending more American missionaries and funds their way (28:25-30:50). West calls for a reassertion of the high qualifications of missionaries, opposed to the growing "eases" of missions and saving the lost for some (30:51-41:43). [A brief loss of volume occurs between 35:35-35:43.] We have to give up our comfort and sacrifice much for Christ's name, but everything we gain will be more than worth the cost of what we gave up (41:44-43:47). The closing prayer ended with this emphasis as well, asking God to do this great work in and through His Church (44:01-45:04).

- Description:
- An opening prayer was given after the reading of Micah 6:8 (0:07-02:20). An introduction of Dr. Wendell Randolph Grigg was given, identifying him as Secretary of the Department of Interracial Cooperation of the Baptist Convention of North Carolina; he was a pastor, denominational worker, and co-laborer for the justice of the oppressed, especially other races (03:20-04:31). The title of the address is "Race and Relative Religion" (04:43-06:29). In his message, Grigg begs three considerations of his listeners: those who bear Christ's name would resemble His character to the world practically through humility and love; Christians would cease from treating the Faith as relative and begin treating it as absolute; and those who call on God as Father resemble Him as good sons and daughters should, acting in accord with His character to others in the world (06:30-08:09). Grigg points out that the myth of the superiority of racism has permeated in society, directly opposing science, the Bible, human unity, the Spirit of the Christian Faith, and the very will of God (08:45-09:48). He exposes racism's ultimate problem as one of wrong relationship with God, since no one can be in right relationship with God yet be in wrong relationship with any person (09:49-10:12). Grigg urges his listeners to take Christ and the implications of the Gospel seriously, acting on the Gospel instead of merely agreeing with it (10:13-27:12). A benediction was given by Grigg to close the service (27:13-27:26).

- William J. Fallis was Editor of Broadman Press. There is an opening prayer and speaker introduction (00:52-03:22). William Fallis begins by citing from the journals of Kierkegaard from the 1850s (04:40-06:46). He then transitions into Romans 12:1-2, proceeding to warn Christians of being led astray from following Christ by the subtle enticements of the world's standards (06:47-15:15). The values of the world will tend to creep into the church, and Fallis warns Christians against becoming too concerned with statistics and multiplying institutions, instead encouraging them toward emphasizing genuine conversion experiences and the thrust of the Gospel in missions (15:16-18:24). He ends his message with a discussion about the “ease” of being a Christian in America (18:25-20:49). He constantly exhorts Christians to remain faithful to as pure a form of Christianity as is possible, according to the Holy Spirit's work (20:50-24:36). There is a closing prayer for the end of the service (24:37-25:56).

- Description:
- Alton Hood, MD, was a missionary volunteer to Thailand, and this address was presented during the Student Coordinating Council chapel. An opening Scripture reading of Psalm 67:1-3 precedes an opening prayer (00:51-02:08) A brief time of worship in song occurs (02:09-07:53). An introduction was given for Hood as a native of North Carolina who received his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Tennessee and served in Washington state among Native Americans for two years (07:54-08:59). Another brief time of worship in song occurs (09:00-12:46). Alton Hood opens his message in prayer (12:59-13:38). He stresses that he will not present a formal academic paper; rather, he desires to share his own life of ministry to encourage his listeners (13:39-16:42). Strikingly, he mentions that they are not going to Thailand primarily to share the Gospel with medicine or because of Christ's command; instead, he grounds his reason for going in the direction he has (the call he was given) to go from the Holy Spirit (16:43-19:43). He believes that every act of healing is divine, and that work for the Lord either here or there is equally meaningful (19:44-20:50). Dr. Hood emphasizes two certain truths: he knows where he is going, and he knows that all will be well for him along the way, because of Romans 8:28 (20:51-25:22). He talks concisely about the relationships between worry and faith, worry and concern, and worry and prayer (25:23-27:23). He closes with a quote from Jim Elliot: "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose" (27:24-27:55). In his closing prayer, he thanks God for those who have equipped the saints and asks for blessing from God for the work ahead in God's mission (27:56-28:26). The first stanza of the hymn “Ye Servants of God, Your Master Proclaim” closes the sermon (28:27-29:08).

- Description:
- There is silence (00:00-00:54) before the service opens in prayer (00:55-02:50). There is an introduction for Dr. James R. Moseley concerning his educational, working, and missional background. He was a medical missionary to Nigeria and became Seminary Physician, presenting his address entitled “My Personal Testimony” (02:51-05:12). He begins with cordialities and general information about his medical service at SEBTS (05:13-08:28). He admits not to know anything about theology or about church polity, but he intends to testify to God’s work in his life as he can best interpret it to be so (08:29-09:13). He was first called to missions in 1948, but he fought it and did not fully surrender to it until he heard a sermon about how he could make his best contribution to life (09:14-15:50). He worked with the Foreign Mission Board (now the International Mission Board) to go to Nigeria as a medical missionary, and he spends time telling key stories of his time there which impacted his life (15:51-27:47). The original speaker then comments on Dr. Mosely’s remarkable character traits to show even more of his authenticity (27:48-28:30) before concluding the service in prayer (28:31-28:54). Another prayer is offered in the audio (29:26-30:20).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 95:6-7 (00:00-00:29), a mention of singing (00:30-00:44), and prayer (00:45-03:42). Luke 2:41-52 is read aloud (03:43-06:07), and another mention of singing occurs (06:08-06:27). There was no introduction for John W. Carlton, but he was Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. He begins his message speaking about the relationship between the basic motivation to action within us, curiosity, and the basic pull in the opposite direction, reverence (06:28-11:54). [The sound needs to be turned up during 09:25-10:32.] Reverence without curiosity is both blind and docile, and we should always leave the window of our souls open for divine surprise (11:55-13:34). The second answer, curiosity without reverence, is more characteristic of our time. This direction is like blind reverence which asks no questions, resulting in the chief possible results of brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience, and knowledge without love (13:35-16:05). Carlton then uses a few Scriptural references about God’s character to illustrate the proper relationship between reverence and curiosity (16:06-20:39) before ending his time in prayer (20:40-21:49).
