Reference is made to the church meeting at a new location in Chatham Heights in 1963 which may explain some name variation.

In this service, David S. Hogg preaches from 2 Chronicles 36 on the subject of "The Chronological Context of the Great Commission." He begins with an overview of the coming message, followed by the reading of the text from 2:11-6:03. He prays from 6:03-7:00. His first focus is on "Commission context," including the kings in exile as well as the temple and the sins of the people. At 16:03, he transitions to focusing on the "Chronicles context," especially the celebration of Passover in the Old Testament. This is followed by the "Canonical context" at 21:32, beginning with the transition to the Gospel of Matthew. He makes points regarding Jesus being the fulfillment of the return of the kings in exile, the final Passover, and the restoration of the temple. He closes in prayer from 31:52-33:49.
