  • SEBTS Chapel - Gregory T. Headen September 20, 1988

    Description:
    Gregory T. Headen was the President of Shaw University Divinity School in Raleigh, NC. Headen is announced as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:10). An opening hymn is played (0:11-3:56). The congregation sings a song of worship (cut) (3:57-4:24). Headen is introduced (4:25-5:49). Habakkuk 2:1-4 is the day’s Scripture reading and a word of prayer is given (5:50-8:08). Another hymn is played (cut) (8:09-8:12). Headen praises Jesus and shows gratitude towards SEBTS (8:13-10:47). His sermon focuses on “the audacity of preaching” in the book of Habakkuk (10:48-12:48). He asks the question: why does God let His servants suffer (12:49-14:07)? In Habakkuk, Headen states that God’s answer is that He has a vision/purpose for His actions and that His followers are to write the vision plainly (14:08-19:14). Headen speaks of the vision God has revealed to him as one involving all people to be one in Christ (19:15-20:40). God can fulfill such visions, but we must be patient and not give up on these visions as they will only come to past in God’s time (20:41-23:06). Headen discusses two problems: 1) those who are too busy “being God” lose hope and faith and 2) the struggle of who receives the right vision (23:07-26:10). He concludes with urging the congregation to write the vision clearly and wait for it to happen when God commands it to happen (26:11-28:38). The sermon ends with Headen’s prayer and the benediction (28:39-29:36).
