- Luther Osment was an area missionary for western North Carolina. The service opens with a presentation of special guests from Norway (00:00-00:54). Luther Osment reads from John 13:13-17, and he introduces the worship leaders (00:55-02:13). The audience is led in two songs of worship (02:14-09:41). Osment opens his sermon by sharing about the realities of mission work in the poverty-stricken region of western North Carolina (09:42-15:05). He appeals to 1 Samuel 17 where David is given Saul’s overweight armor and sword rather than the slingshot he is comfortable using as an illustration to show that churches in western North Carolina have a unique ministry, but they have been using methods that do not fit the way God made them to reach to their community (15:06-18:24). The remainder of Osment’s sermon are what he calls “smooth stone” stories of ministry in the mountain churches. His overarching theme for these stories are ministers in this region must give one hundred percent of themselves to caring for the people to be effective (18:25-29:19). Osment ends the service with a prayer (29:20-30:01).

His second point is that the foundational principles of the old scaffolding should be used to build the new religious structure (18:35-20:16).

Second, he examines the Parable of the Lost Coin, and he believes that the parable exemplifies the love of God for lost sinners (15:53-21:28). Third, Jones examines the Parable of the Lost Son, and he brings out a theme of comparativeness (21:29-38:51). He concludes his lecture by stating that the uniting theme of the parables is the nature of repentance (38:52-51:32). The service ends with a word of prayer (51:33-53:08).

- Description:
- Peter Rhea Jones was pastor of the First Baptist Church in Decatur, GA. The service begins with a word of prayer, and the speaker gives announcements (00:00-01:40). Peter Rhea Jones is introduced as the Spring lecturer (01:41-05:41). Jones begins his lecture by giving a word of appreciation to Ray Brown and John Carlton (05:42-07:50). He speaks about the interpretation of Jesus’ parables given by the German theologians Joachim Jeremias and Adolf Julicher, and he believe that these theologians put forwards great methods for interpreting the parables, but they ultimately fell short (07:51-18:38). Jones looks at the new hermeneutic of parables that has come out of the school of Rudolf Bultmann, and he believes that this interpretation falls short because the parables become a mere stimulus to the hearer (18:39-23:23). He then looks at the new criticism of parable interpretation, and though it has its limits, he believes that this interpretation has homiletical value (23:24-26:12). Jones then looks at the interpretation of parables as metaphors, and he believes that this interpretation leaves parables open ended (26:13-31:32). He finally looks at other notable approaches such as structuralism, sociological, and comparative midrash (31:33-37:24). Jones concludes his lecture by turning to his own interpretation of the parables, and he believes the prominent feature of the parables is direct discourse (37:25-56:17). The service ends with a benediction (56:18-56:53).

Claypool retells a Medieval legend of two knights who tried to kill each other because they thought they were enemies, and he says the work of Christian ministry is to work to the goals of helping enemies see each other as kinsman (0:18:35-0:23:16). He them move to speak about the three layers of eyes each human has for sight: the eyes of the body, the eyes of the mind, and the eyes of the heart (0:23:17-0:36:24). Claypool tells the story of Francis of Assisi, and he desires for his audience to see the world in a Franciscan way that helps them realize that all things are miracles (0:36:25-0:49:54). Claypool concludes his lecture by speaking on human’s lack of courage to relate to the other, and he encourages the audience look to the gospel which states that humans have a common kinship (0:49:55-1:02:28). The service ends with a benediction (1:02:29-1:03:09).

John Rowan Claypool, IV is introduced as the Adams Lecturer (0:00:47-0:03:31). The choir sings a song of worship (0:03:32-0:08:27). John Claypool begins his lecture by reviewing the messages of his previous lectures on seeking fulfilment in Christ and caring for those who are image bearers (0:08:28-0:17:35). He then moves to the topic of his current lecture, and he brings up the distorted image of God experienced in childhood to show his audience the need for a right image of God (0:17:36-0:23:55). Claypool gives three points on the preaching of the gospel: we are related to God, God is in a category of his own, and God wants to have a relationship with humankind (0:23:56-0:32:48). Claypool tells a personal childhood story of his developing understanding of God, and he concludes his lecture by saying that he believes that his relationship with God was given and established by God himself (0:32:49-1:00:40). The service ends with a benediction (1:00:41-1:01:31).

- John Rowan Claypool, IV was the pastor of Northminster Baptist Church in Jackson, MS. The service begins with a word of prayer and the singing of a hymn (0:00:00-0:02:26). Theodore Adams introduces John Rowan Claypool, IV as the Adams Lecturer (0:02:27-0:05:30). The choir sings a song of worship (0:05:31-0:07:54). John Claypool begins his lecture by speaking on the privilege to share a stage with Theodore Adam (0:07:55-0:09:04). He continues to speak on the question from the previous lecture about the aim of Christian ministry, and he says that the problem of our restless fulfilment begins with the first humans who chose fulfilment outside of God (01:09:05-0:15:22). Claypool moves to the topic of the current lecture, and he first investigates the nature of humans being image bearers and the need in ministry to value image bearers (0:15:23-0:42:11). He brings up the story of the prodigal son, and he uses the story to describe the process of a good minister faithfully working to bring the lost soul back to Christ (0:42:12-0:55:20). Claypool concludes his lecture by summarizing his key point that ministers are to help remind people of who they truly are as image bearers created for God’s good works (0:55:21-1:01:02). The service ends with a word of prayer and a benediction (1:01:03-1:02:17).

John Rowan Claypool, IV is introduced as the Adams Lecturer (0:04:17-0:10:33). The choir sings a song of worship (0:10:34-0:13:36). John Claypool begins his lecture by speaking on the influence Theodore Adams has had on his life, and he asks the question of what he personally is about (0:13:37-0:19:11). His lecture centers on the objective question of what the aim of a Christian ministry is, and he first tells a story of a friend in ministry who suffered from what he called “cotton candy syndrome” (0:19:12-0:27:59). Claypool’s main idea is that humans by nature are restlessly looking for fulfilment, and he points to the message of Christ saying that fulfilment is not found somewhere else but God’s grace found in our hearts (0:28:00-1:02:57). The service ends with a word of prayer (1:02:58-1:03:37).

- Tony Brewington was the Director of Mission for the Burnt Swamp Baptist Association. The service begins with a reading from Luke 4:17-19, and a word of prayer is given (00:00-02:50). Tony Brewington is introduced as the Missionary Day chapel speaker (02:51-04:20). The choir sings a song of worship (04:21-06:30). Brewington begins his sermon by describing his mission work as a Native American in eastern North Carolina (06:31-13:33). He says that the church has taken Jesus captive, and it is now our duty to put him back into the world where people are suffering (13:34-17:06). He argues that the church today has a microscopic view where they are finding a way to make themselves better (17:07-19:09). He then argues that the church today has a telescopic view where they are doing outreach in an exclusive and narrow-minded way (19:10-21:35). Brewington proposes that the church should have kaleidoscopic view that is centered on true outreach and the love of Jesus (21:36-26:25). The second point of Brewington’s message is that the church has become a hostage of the world, and he believes the only way out is for God to be behind the church’s mission (26:26-35:59). The final point of Brewington’s message is that the world is a hostage of sin, and the solution is to let Jesus loose to lead the church in the mission of saving the lost (36:00-48:11).
