- Description:
- The service begins with prayer (00:00-03:34). There is no introduction for the speaker, Dr. William Claudius Strickland, but he was Professor of New Testament Interpretation at SEBTS. He spends his time in chapel going over six items about the nature of the Christian life (03:35-04:46). First, we live only by the grace of God (04:47-07:50). Second, there is little difference between the general existence of the Christian and non-Christian (07:51-09:56), saying thirdly that we have nothing to lose because we are not our own (09:57-10:20). Next, transitioning from general to specific, he mentions that we live in faith (10:21-13:54). He then says we live in a radical love not produced by the world but by God (13:55-14:52), and we live in hope in God (14:53-16:41). The service ends with singing (16:42-19:44).

- The service begins with the reading of a story and a brief update concerning inclement weather (00:00-03:34), entering into a time of prayer (03:35-05:14). An introduction was given for the speaker, Dr. Ralph Alderman Herring, who was a SEBTS trustee since the school’s beginning until recently. He was pastor of First Baptist Church in Salem, NC, but had resigned a year prior to this chapel, serving at the time of the chapel as SEBTS’s Secretary of the Extension Department (05:15-07:44). He begins his time with a word of welcome and a brief detailing of his position at the seminary (07:45-13:34). He focuses his message on the principle of circuitry from Jesus’s words in Mark 4:24, quoting Longfellow and another poet who express the same principle. He furthers the remainder of his sermon working from this principle (13:35-24:00). He postulates that success in the work of ministry depends on the acquisitiveness of our faith (24:01-25:31). He ends his time with prayer (25:32-26:18).

- Description:
- This service was organized by the Student Coordinating Council, and the service begins with prayer (00:00-03:16). There was no introduction for the speaker, Jim Baucom, but he was a student at SEBTS. He begins by exposing the secularization of religion in America, becoming only a set of rules leading to moralism, devoid of the gospel; religion retreats into the walls of the church house and becomes institutionalized and couched in a secret vocabulary (03:17-08:51). He then illustrates total acceptance and total rejection (08:52-10:47) before applying it to the lives of Christians, stressing the need to merge religion with daily life (10:48-15:11). He ends his time in prayer (15:12-15:41).

- The service begins with the reading of Isaiah 1:18 (00:00-00:32) and prayer (00:33-02:44). There was no introduction for the speaker, Dr. Thomas Albert Bland, but he was Associate Professor of Christian Sociology and Ethics at SEBTS. He begins his message by reading Luke 11:1 and emphasizing that we can learn much about prayer from observing the example of Jesus as a man of prayer (02:45-06:29). We can also learn something about the nature of, and motivation for, prayer when we look at Jesus’s record (06:30-12:06). Jesus assumed that one who comes to the Father in prayer is free, but this freedom is a responsible freedom in the provident Heavenly Father (12:07-13:06). We must also learn the content of prayer from Jesus’s sample prayer (13:07-19:24). He ends his time in prayer (19:25-19:44), and the service ends with singing (19:45-21:04).

- The service begins with the reading of Habakkuk 2:20 (00:00-00:24) and prayer (00:25-02:20). No introduction was given for the speaker, Dr. J. Henry Coffer, Jr., but was Instructor of Religious Education at SEBTS. His sermon topic is “the prodigal father,” based on Luke 15:11-32 (02:21-05:03). He begins with definitions from the dictionary on terms related to “prodigal,” understanding the son was prodigal according to his wastefulness, while the father was prodigal according to every sense of the word (05:04-10:01). He then transitions into identifying with the older brother’s outlook as the modern view towards life and the world (10:02-13:05). If the father was upsetting things, Jesus was doing more, and His words reveal the very “prodigal” love of God the Father in saving the Gentiles as well as the Jews (13:06-22:21). He ends with prayer (22:22-22:39).

- The service begins with the reading of excerpts from Psalm 95 (00:00-00:49) and prayer (00:50-03:04). No introduction was given for the speaker, Dr. Denton R. Coker, but he was Professor of Religious Education at SEBTS. He begins by reading from the preface to Martin Luther’s shorter catechism (03:05-04:20), and his message is directed towards the need to have teachers in local churches, not just executives to keep the organization to function smoothly (04:21-05:04). First, we must accept positively that the church has, of necessity, a teaching function; also, in relinquishing the responsibility of the family unit in teaching their children at God from home, the church suffered loss in three areas: neglect in homely religious instruction, little influence with catechumens, and teachers with little theological education (05:05-11:52). Second, the minister, of necessity, has a teaching responsibility (11:53-19:18). In conclusion, he points out two implications of this view: it is not a question of whether a church teacher is a theologian or not but of what kind of theology he will teach, and churches must be transformed into centers for genuine theological equipping (19:19-22:45). He closes in prayer (22:46-23:15), and the service ends with instrumental music (23:16-24:18).

- The service begins with the reading of various Scriptures (00:00-00:35) and prayer (00:36-02:10). An introduction is given for Dr. Pope Alexander Duncan, the speaker, according to his character and scholarly background, and his message title is “What We May Learn from the Anabaptists.” He was Professor of Church History at SEBTS (02:11-05:02). He begins his time with three presuppositions: Anabaptists as a whole were noble, sincere Christians (05:03-07:34), Baptists find a certain spiritual kinship with the Anabaptists (07:35-08:22), and Baptists are not Anabaptists (08:23-09:17). He then makes two observations, namely that we can be most discerning about that which we can objectify, and the Anabaptists provide a group from which we can learn much objectively (09:18-11:27). The main discussion of the lecture focuses on what the Anabaptists can teach us, such as: the church is a pure and free community subject to pride and fragmentation apart from unity in Christ (11:28-19:51); church discipline should be enforced in every local assembly without invoking the arm of the state for the purpose of restoring 1st-century Christianity as opposed to reforming from the Roman Catholic Church (19:52-28:35); their devotion and consecration enabled them to rejoice even in suffering and in martyrdom, and they set their eyes on the chiliastic (thousand-year) return and reign of Christ (28:36-40:06); negatively, their stubbornness to relax certain non-essential Biblical convictions caused divisions between them and the world as well as among themselves (40:07-45:47); they taught the value of lay-leadership and the danger of uneducated and unstable leadership (45:48-46:34); and finally, they warn us of the danger of Biblicism (46:35-52:10). The service ends in prayer (52:11-52:29).

- The service begins with prayer (00:00-03:28), and there is no introduction for the speaker, Pope Alexander Duncan, Professor of Church History at SEBTS. His message is about the topic of forgiveness, specifically how it affects both the giver and the recipient (03:29-06:05). He speaks to the lack of sermons specifically on the virtue of Christian forgiveness (06:06-07:42). He calls his listeners’ attention to think on how often they forgive when they are the objects of wrongs committed against them, reminding them that Christians are obligated to forgive others regardless of the depth of hurt they have experienced from someone else (07:43-11:05). He ends his time with an illustrative story on forgiveness (11:06-14:41) before closing in prayer (14:42-15:10).

- The service begins in prayer (00:00-03:06), and the speaker, R. Paul Caudill, was introduced as the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Memphis, TN, according to his educational and ministerial background (03:07-05:00). He says in this missionary address that the greatest danger that we face today is the blindness caused by materialism, and he gives examples of this from various countries (05:01-16:42). His word of hope comes from the Apostle Paul in Romans 1:14-15 (16:43-17:51). His first word has to do with acknowledgement of our debt which we owe to the world, namely, that the gospel should be proclaimed among the nations, withstanding the great price we must pay if we are to go to them (or not) (17:52-30:57). He mentions some modern missionary statistics (30:58-38:24). He closes with a challenge for his audience to actually obey Jesus’s command to “go” to the nations with the gospel (38:25-49:00), and he ends his time in prayer (49:01-51:10).

- The service begins with prayer (00:00-02:08), and President Stealey gives an introduction for Dr. Theron D. Price, the pastor of Wornall Road Baptist Church in Kansas City, MO (02:09-05:34). Dr. Price opens with brief formalities (05:35-11:40), and the subject of his lecture was the Church’s world mission, entitled “Immortal Tidings in Your Mortal Hands” (11:41-12:56). Man, morality, and God are interpretable only from the perspective of Calvary (12:57-14:47). Two statements about the gospel must be made: there is one dominating Way which gives all of history its direction, and Jesus of Nazareth is that Way. To be “Christian” is to be “on mission,” and the Church and mission are one (14:48-27:14). What God has to say to the world is Christ in the gospel (27:15-36:02). The Church, then, is mission, and the gospel is aimed at the whole world (36:03-52:25). In conclusion, he reads a poem by Mississippi planter and poet, William Alexander Pearcey (52:26-54:25), before ending in prayer (54:26-55:20). Organ music ends the service (55:21-55:37).

He begins with formalities toward President Stealey and an introduction into his message (01:59-07:24). His first focus in on God as Lord and as inexpressible by human language and thought (07:25-08:49), highlighting “the Word” (logos) as the best expression of God’s infinite being, action, and knowledge (08:50-18:58). He explains the threefold description of the Word as revealed (Jesus Christ), written (Holy Scripture), and preached (Church’s proclamation) (18:59-46:21). With his time remaining, he deals with humans as interpreters of the Bible, not only in its strangeness but also in a pastoral sense, with the increasing Christian unfamiliarity with the Bible (46:22-53:32). He ends his time in prayer (53:33-54:58), and organ music ends the service (54:59-56:49).

He was pastor of Wornall Road Baptist Church in Kansas City, MO (01:23-05:49). Dr. Price begins with opening formalities, and the subject of his message was about worship: “May a Mortal Lisp Thy Name!” (05:50-13:17). He begins by saying that worship of God concerns what God has done for our salvation, and that the gospel is first a narrative before it is advisatory (13:18-18:53). The remaining lecture concerns itself first with an attempt to locate the worshipping self (18:54-38:02), second with worship as knowledge only being possible in the religion of incarnation and expressed in Trinitarian Faith [skipped because of time] (38:03-39:18), and ending on studying the effects of the worship of God in the renewal of life (39:19-49:35). He ends his time in prayer (49:36-51:04), and organ music ends the service (51:05-51:35).

- 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).

- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 67:1-3 (00:00-00:24) and prayer (00:25-01:59). The sermon text, Romans 5:6-11, is read aloud (02:00-03:22). No introduction was given for J. Henry Coffer, Jr., but he was Instructor of Religious Education at SEBTS. His sermon focuses on the meaning of the atonement, understood in the symbol of redemption—the blood of Christ. The hymnal phrase “washed in the blood” could cause much confusion about what is being communicated without an understanding of the blood of Christ (03:23-07:49). Coffer talks about the inner hostility in man and an oftentimes hidden or unspoken intent to release that anger onto its objects. He then points out that all of this hatred toward others is really pointed at God (07:50-15:42). The blood of Christ is the acceptance of our hostility against God, atoned for and completely spent, and in this way, God has redeemed us from our sins and has reconciled man to Himself (15:43-22:20). He ends his time in prayer (22:21-22:45).

- 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 the reading of Psalm 27:14 (00:00-00:10) and 3 John 1:1-8 (00:11-02:01). No introduction was given for Olin Trivette Binkley, but he was Professor of Christian Sociology and Ethics and Academic Dean of SEBTS. Focusing on 3 John 1:8, Binkley asks how students in a theological seminary might help the faculty to be productive scholars and creative teachers (02:02-03:49). Firstly, students may do this by affirming participation in a deeper knowledge of the truth about God and its relation to human decisions. They must join the professors in academic scholarship and see both parties as desiring to know the truth (03:50-06:59). Secondly, students and faculty must keep the channels of communication open with each other (07:00-09:54). Thirdly, students must show a readiness to recognize the perils confronting servants of God, namely three: accommodating the gospel to the culture, subordinating what God demands of us to what man expects of us, and practicing cruelty in human relations (09:55-13:23).

- Description:
- The service begins with prayer (00:00-03:01), a recognition of the Board of Trustees for this Founder’s Day Address (03:02-07:24), and a word of resignation from the chairman of the Board of Trustees as well as his introduction of the speaker, Dr. John Edward Steely, Associate Professor of Historical Theology (07:25-11:03). The choir sings “When I Survey the Wond’rous Cross” as the anthem of SEBTS (11:04-14:48) before Dr. Steely begins his address, covering personal counsel concerning the history of SEBTS over the previous 10 years from its inception to the present (14:49-16:23). The faculty began with only 4 members and a student body of 101 members, growing by the end of 10 years to a faculty of 30 members and a student body of over 700 members (16:24-17:03). Steely speaks to the efforts of the future historian who will write down this seminary’s history (17:04-23:08). He then speaks of the seminary’s emphases in pursuit of its objectives (23:09-23:55) before speaking about the contributions which over 9,000,000 Southern Baptists have supported through their cooperative giving (23:56-27:54). Dr. Steely then desires that everyone present would, with him, reaffirm their seminarial commitments to the purposes of Jesus Christ (27:55-29:12). Next, he mentions those advancements and doors of opportunity which have opened to the seminary during the second half of the decade, adding the need to live the Christian life to bear witness to Jesus Christ (29:13-33:41) so that the seminary will not fail to complete its task in educating ministers of the gospel (33:42-36:40). President Stealey closed the service with the singing of the seminary hymn (36:41-41:41), prayer (41:42-44:39), and closing song (44:40-46:51).

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).

- The service begins with the reading of John 4:23-24 (00:00-00:28), an announcement (00:29-01:07), and prayer (01:08-02:36). Dr. Trotter introduces the speaker, the Reverend Allen Douglas Aldrich, who was the pastor of Forest Hills Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC (02:37-04:17). His message centers on Matthew 6:28. He begins his message by drawing attention to the growing edge of God’s hand which our lives must be subject to (04:18-13:02). The growth of our lives is determined by the vitality of our daily experience of prayer (13:03-14:25), on the basis of the tone of the thoughts on which we feed our lives (14:26-15:31), and by our involvement in relationships through the Church (15:32-18:30). When the growth happens, there is a gradual unfolding of the unique nature of what is growing; this growth cannot happen unless there is death, focusing us on the cross of Christ (18:31-22:41). He ends in prayer (22:42-23:43).

- The service begins with a reading (00:00-00:53) and a prayer (00:54-05:04). Another short prayer follows by John E. Davis (05:05-05:22). No introduction was given for the speaker, John E. Davis, but he was a student at SEBTS. He outlines two presuppositions of seminary education (05:23-06:02). First, the questions we are raising at SEBTS are but hollow and intellectual gymnastics if they are foreign to the common man’s questions (06:03-13:49). Second, the gospel is a totally consuming dynamic and not a moral philosophy nor a legal code (13:50-23:53). He quotes Philippians 3:12-16 (23:54-24:46), and he ends his time in prayer (24:47-25:24).

- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 65:4 (00:00-00:20) and prayer (00:21-02:32). Dr. Lovelace introduces the speaker, John T. Bunn, who was the Chairman of the Bible Department at Campbell College in North Carolina (02:33-03:16). He begins by reading Luke 4:16-19 (03:17-04:39). He transitions to speak about the internal weakness of many modern churches and their revitalization through “unlimited substitution” (04:40-09:20). This has come to be because plans, promotions, and organizations have been the exclusive tools for such a revitalization rather than the proclamation of the Word of God from the pulpit (09:21-11:52). The proper place of preaching for the minister and in the life of the church is discussed next (11:53-21:22). He then answers the question, “What will be our primary task or the center of our attention in ministry?” (21:23-26:25). He ends his time in prayer (26:26-27:37).

- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 67:1-3 as a prayer (00:00-00:36). From SEBTS’s graduates, a list of homebound missionaries is read (00:37-01:52) along with a list of foreign missionaries (01:53-05:23) and missionaries currently studying at the SEBTS campus (05:24-07:00). A prayer is offered to God for these missionaries (07:01-13:39). An introduction for the service’s testimony by Charles Wiggs is given (13:40-15:37). He then shares his testimony (15:38-21:44). An introduction for five more testimonial reports is given (21:45-23:22), first by Bill Hern (23:23-25:56), second by Robert Lindsey (25:57-32:14), third by Robert Fielden (32:15-35:29), fourth by Harry Raley (35:30-37:54), and fifth by Gene Phillips (37:55-39:46). Concluding words reinforce the seminary’s belief that every Christian is called into full-time ministry, while others profess a specific calling into vocational ministry or missionary work (39:47-42:55). A closing hymn (42:56-46:11), a benediction (46:12-47:20), and singing ends the service (47:21-47:39).

Dr. Miller begins by talking about the importance and rarity of actually living in your own epoch instead of trying to keep another epoch alive outside of its time (08:19-19:32). He mentions that three recent breakthroughs in the history of humanity have expanded the reach of human sin: spacial (interstellar) exploration and great power, a deep exploration of the human’s life (psychology), and the new creation of a world order via science, industry, and transportation. He mentions these because it is the task of the openness of faith to unite the inner man with the outer environment so that the two are integrated in meaning (19:33-26:45). The Christian Faith in man is complex, and it must continually respond to the questions raised against it by each epoch’s key figures; to be faithful to the first century but to deny the needs of one’s own century is indeed not Christian at all (26:46-35:55). The Christian Faith reconciles honest contradictions into beautiful unity through reconciliation and atonement (to save life is to lose it, and to lose life now is to save it) (35:56-47:29). The service closes with the reading of Ephesians 3:20-21 (47:30-48:03).

- Description:
- The first and fourth stanzas of the hymn “Come, Thou Almighty King” is prayed over the congregation at the tenth convocation of the seminary’s existence (00:00-00:42). President Sydnor Lorenzo Stealey introduces Dr. Miller concerning his educational, ministerial, and working background; he was the Dean of Harvard Divinity School (00:43-05:29). Dr. Miller’s sermon title is “Souls Threshed from their Husks,” a phrase taken from William Blake’s work. He believes the prime urgency of the ministry of the twentieth century is to be a well-founded, unconfused person, since many are confused as to what this means. Such a man, through theological integration, has been stripped of the world’s illusions and understands true personhood in Christ (05:30-22:16). We must live “at the growing edge redemptively” – the edge where God’s revelations come to life in difficult moments when sometimes words fail to pass from our lips (22:17-37:52). The crises of our lives force us to answer for ourselves what we think, feel, or believe alone before God, and these moments are what God uses to thresh our souls from their husks over our lifetimes (37:53-41:44).

After this Scripture reading, Dr. Stewart Albert Newman, Professor of Theology and Philosophy of Religion, is introduced to bring the faculty’s charge to those graduating (08:41-09:54). He says that students have been equipped with two main tools to be reasonably successful: a structure of accurate and well-ordered knowledge, and a right spirit or motives (09:55-15:52). One last word of admonition is given, namely that they would not lose sight of their spirits in the rushing of events and the busyness and stress of ministry. He exhorts the graduates to blend their knowledge with this right spirit which honors God (15:53-25:12). A closing prayer is offered (25:13-25:40).

- The service begins with prayer (00:00-03:54). Dr. Binkley introduces the speaker, William W. Leathers, Jr., who was the pastor of First Baptist Church in Henderson, NC (03:55-06:22). His message focuses on an event in the life of David when he sought refuge with his enemy, the Philistines, due to low faith, from 1 Samuel 30:6 (06:23-10:02). He discusses three paradoxes/alternatives/dilemmas which frequently face people: the matter of faith or frustration (10:03-11:17), the matter of prayer or paralysis (11:18-13:08), and the alternative of obedience or obstinancy (13:09-15:00). He recalls the persuasive preaching of George Pruitt, in which he said, “obedience is the song for a thousand victories” (15:01-17:31). He ends his time in prayer (17:32-18:12).
