    SEBTS Chapel - Ed Wheeler April 15, 1980
    Description:
    Ed Wheeler was the Associate Director of the Department of Cooperative Ministries with National Baptists with the Home Mission Board. The service opens with a word of prayer (00:00-01:26). The choir leads in a song of worship (01:27-01:51). The audio cuts to an announcement about community concerns, and the speaker reads from Luke 19:1-10 (01:52-05:30). Ed Wheeler is introduced as the missionary day chapel speaker (05:31-08:30). The choir leads in a song of worship (08:31-14:36). Ed Wheeler opens his sermon with a word of recognition to people in the audience who have been influential in his life, a joke about preaching overtime, and a word of prayer (14:37-17:35). He recounts a story where he encountered a drunk man in Atlanta, G.A. for the purpose of urging the audience to show the love of Christ to the worst of sinners (17:36-24:30). Moving to Luke 19:1-10, Wheeler presents a character synopsis of Zacchaeus as the great example of a man who escaped the satisfaction of his “small” life situation to look upon Jesus (24:31-29:53). After presenting Zacchaeus, he moves to characterizing the crowd who he describes as a group marked by hatred and condemnation (29:54-32:26). Wheeler concludes his sermon by describing the character of Jesus, and he challenges the audience to have a love and concern for sinners like Jesus (32:27-36:58). The service finishes with an announcement and a closing benediction by Wheeler (36:59-38:57).
