- C. Michael Hawn was Professor of Church Music. C. Michael Hawn is announced as the Chapel speaker (0:00-0:09). Hymns are played (0:10-31:28). A word of prayer is given (31:29-34:17).

Hawn instructs the graduates “to do justice, love tenderly, and walk humbly with God” as a “basis for a covenant ministry” (45:24-52:45). Using the reading from the book of Micah, Hawn discusses that doing justice, loving tenderly, and walking humbly with God must be seen as one; they cannot be separate (52:46-1:00:42). Hawn then speaks on the hope found in Jesus, which the graduates must give to the world (1:00:43-1:01:47). He ends with mentioning how the Quakers perform all three (doing justice, loving tenderly, and walking humbly with God) and sings a Quaker hymn (1:01:48-1:05:16).

- Les and Hazel Watson were that year’s Fletcher Visiting Professors of Missions and Emeritus Missionaries to Japan. Les and Hazel Watson are announced as Chapel speakers (0:00-0:16). A hymn is played (0:17-2:31). It is announced as the second missionary address day of the semester, and a word of prayer is given (2:32-5:09). Another hymn is played (cut) (5:10-5:13). Scripture reading for the day comes from Acts 16:8-10 (5:14-5:52). The Watsons are introduced (7:31-11:35). The choir sings an anthem (11:36-17:28). Hazel Watson speaks of the missionary opportunities, especially for women, as well as commitment and prayer (17:29-27:08). She ends with a word on how discipleship, discipline, and obedience bring us closer to God and how women are needed over seas (27:09-27:55). Les Watson begins with rereading some of the Scripture reading from Acts 16, focusing on how God can change our plans to fit His plans (27:56-29:30). He strongly emphasizes the answering of God’s call to missions and highlights the many priority requests of the Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board for 1989 (34:12-35:22). He then discusses when he answered the call and how God provided for him and his family (35:23-37:39). Dr. Watson reassures that God will supply for the needs of His followers (37:40-39:56).

- Richard Gene Puckett was the editor of the Biblical Recorder. Puckett is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:12). A hymn is played (0:13-4:51). A word of prayer is followed by a hymn (cut) (4:52-6:05). Puckett is introduced (6:06-8:02). Puckett thanks Southeastern’s students and faculty (8:03-9:03). His lecture, “State Baptist Papers: Reflectors of the Crises,” focuses on how printed papers are better records of current events (9:04-10:00). He summarizes his lecture from the day before: he explains that the lecture dealt with the history of U.S. Baptist missions with a specific focus on the Judsons and Luther Rice and the creation of the Triennial Convention, the Southern Baptist Convention, and state conventions (10:01-10:20). Puckett expresses that documents exist that inform us of what truly happened during the birth of Baptist missions and that Baptist papers mirror these events (10:21-11:39). He chooses ten crises to prove this point, with the first crisis being the mission vs. anti-mission movements of the nineteenth century (11:40-11:59). These movements resulted due to the conflict between general atonement (Arminian theology) and particular atonement (Calvinistic theology) (12:00-12:55). Puckett reveals that Baptist papers reflected this conflict in Maryland (12:56-15:49). The second crisis involved the founding of the Southern Baptist Convention by the Virginia Mission Society which became a large highlight in Baptist papers (15:50-16:24). The third crisis is the Campbellite and Landmark movements, with the former movement involving Alexander Campbell and his view on baptism (16:25-17:15). Biblical Recorder editor Thomas Meredith recorded the errors of this movement (17:16-18:58). Puckett then explains that the Landmark movement viewed its church as the only valid church in accordance with New Testament truth and made an appearances in the Tennessee Baptist Paper and the Kentucky Western Baptist Review (18:59-20:48). The fourth crisis, with which the Kentucky Western Recorder highly involved, was the Witsitt controversy over whether Baptists could be traced back to Jesus’ time (20:49-23:45). Fundamentalism vs. Modernism was the fifth crisis that became popular in Baptist publications, specifically the Oklahoma Baptist Messenger (23:46-27:33). Puckett’s sixth crisis is the Baptist westward movement: some believed that these Baptists were not true Baptists with Reuben Ally, editor of the Virginia Religious Herald, being a strong voice of the conflict (27:34-29:11). Crisis seven is the Southern Baptist Seminary conflict that occurred due to a disagreement between the president and faculty and appeared in multiple papers such as the Kentucky Western Recorder and the Christian Index (29:12-33:16). The Elliot controversy at Mid-Western Seminary also found its way in Baptist papers, with E.S. James, editor of the Texas Baptist Standard leading the way (33:17-36:02). Puckett’s ninth crisis is the struggle of power, especially within the Southern Baptist Convention concerning the presidential position, and he conveys that this crisis caused many papers to suffer as they attempted to record the facts (36:03-38:23). The final crisis is one that occurred at Southeastern and was accurately and completely recorded by the Biblical Recorder (38:24-40:14). Puckett speaks on the problems of editing and recording, focusing on how writers never have complete freedom of words and on how they must strive to record truthfully, yet fairly (40:15-50:54). He then closes with saying that the Baptist mission of the world depends on education and information (52:59-53:59). Puckett is thanked and the congregation is informed that he will be in the Ledford Center for further discussions (52:59-53:59). A word of prayer ends the event (54:00-54:23).

- Richard Gene Puckett was the editor of the Biblical Recorder. Puckett is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:08). A hymn is played (0:09-3:36). A word of prayer is followed by a hymn (cut) (3:37-5:28). The congregation is welcomed, and Puckett is introduced (5:29-10:10). Puckett begins with why he accepted to speak in chapel and offers a testimony (10:11-16:04). He speaks of the necessity of education in order for Baptists to effectively witness and conduct their ministry, with a focus on the birth of Baptist missions (16:05-16:40). He discusses the establishment of the Baptist Triennial Convention as well as the work of the Judsons and Luther Rice (16:41-31:40). Luther Rice’s model at the Columbian College in Washington D.C. led to the births of Baptist publications, conventions, and colleges that made up the foundation of the Southern Baptist Convention (31:41-34:40). Puckett highlights that Northern Baptists began taking over in the Triennial Convention and that a conflict over slavery issued (34:41-42:40). He then speaks of the NC Baptist Association and its founders: Thomas Meredith, editor of the Biblical Recorder, and Samuel Wait, the first president of Wake Forest College (42:41-46:41). He closes his lecture by expressing that conflicts still exist, yet God still remains and the Gospel continues to be preached (46:40-48:36). The announcement of Puckett’s second lecture is made and the congregation is informed that Puckett will be in the Ledford Center for further discussions (48:37-49:12). A word of prayer ends the event (49:13-49:34).

- Fred Allen Grissom was SEBTS Associate Professor of Church History. Grissom is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:10). Hymns are played (0:11-7:59). A word of prayer is given (8:00-8:59). Grissom’s lecture is greatly anticipated (8:40-9:06). Grissom begins with Scripture reading from Matthew 7:3-5 (9:07-9:45). He states that this is his first faculty address and that he plans to discuss the importance of studying history with a focus on how culture influences biblical interpretation (9:46-15:59). He expresses that cultural norms lead to different interpretations, using the literal interpretation of men not trimming their beards in the book of Leviticus as an example (16:00-19:20). Grissom further discusses that Christians believe that cultural norms are reflected in the Bible as well as that their institutions are sanctioned in the Bible (19:21-19:57). He uses the examples of the sanctioning of slavery and segregation to come to the argument that biblical interpretations are influenced by the culture of the interpreter (19:58-26:46). He then provides an analogy to prove that this argument is true even in present society: we all have culture filtered “glasses” (26:47-29:26). We have different filters, yet we all filter biblical revelations that we identify with on a personal level (29:27-33:08). Our glasses affect our applications of the affirmations about the Bible (33:09-35:43). Grissom conveys that we go so far as to deny culture’s influence, and thus our filters become blinders that lead to our interpretations becoming absolute and our creation of God in our own image (35:44-37:47). To combat these blinders, Grissom provides four steps: 1) to become more aware of the presuppositions at the foundation of our cultural complex, 2) to see through different “glasses,” 3) to expand our vision further by listening to those of even different cultures, and 4) to study the languages of others in order to better understand the meaning of their words (37:48-40:04). He concludes with urging everyone to learn as much about our culture and other people’s cultures from the present and past so that the Bible is not misinterpreted (40:05-41:34).

- Taylor Clarence Smith was Visiting Professor of New Testament. Smith is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:08). A hymn is played (0:09-5:11). A word of prayer is followed by a hymn (cut) (5:12-6:52). Colossians 2:16-23 is the Scripture reading (6:53-8:34). The choir sings a song of worship (8:35-12:11). Smith begins his sermon by quoting from the books of Micah, Hosea, Psalms, and Matthew, focusing on Christians worshipping in shadows (12:12-16:18). Using the Scripture reading from Colossians, he emphasizes the Colossians’ integration of astral religion with the Christian faith (16:19-17:29). Smith explains that we have shadows, similar to the Jews’ shadows of worship of the altar and of the law (17:30-17:59). He lists several of these shadows, with the first one being the shadow of the manipulation of God—we use Him for our own advantages (18:00-24:01). Another shadow is one of admiration: instead of following Jesus’ teachings, we just admire and praise Him for His works (24:02-27:16). A third shadow is Bible worship, which involves those who “read” the Bible, but do not fully understand it or they place their own understandings on the Scriptures (27:17-27:48). This shadow leads to the belief that the Bible is God and just as the Pharisees, we can hide God behind the legalism of the Bible (27:49-30:52). Smith expresses that worshipping God is an encounter with a person not a book, and hence we should desire to turn away from worshipping God in the shadows (30:53-33:32). A word of prayer closes the sermon (33:32-33:59).

- Warren T. Carr was Visiting Professor of Preaching. Carr is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:08). A hymn is played followed by a word of prayer (0:09-4:48). A hymn is played (cut) (4:49-4:54). A prayer list is given, followed by a word of prayer (4:55-9:04). Carr is introduced (9:05-10:50). The choir sings a song of worship (10:51-13:43). Carr reads from Isaiah 6 and Romans 10 (13:44-16:28). He speaks about Isaiah seeking the job of a prophet when it was hard to find prophets in good times (16:29-19:52). Perhaps Isaiah accepted the job because he took God and himself seriously, and he let his lips be cleansed from using God’s name in vain (19:53-22:47). Carr explains that if you take God and yourself seriously, so will others: this seriousness is required for those entering the ministry (22:48-33:30). The service closes with a word of prayer (33:31-34:00).

- Albert L. Meiburg was SEBTS Professor of Pastoral Theology. Meiburg is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:09). A hymn is played (0:10-2:17). Scripture is read, with the second reading from 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 (2:18-5:00). A word of prayer is followed by the choir singing a song of worship (5:01-10:40). Meiburg begins his sermon with a focus on dreams and how they can both define and confine us (10:41-15:11). He presents the question: can we learn and grow from the pain of a dream that dies? (15:12-16:48). He reads the story of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24 who had their hope of a king coming to restore Israel die (16:49-19:09). Meiburg explains that the disciples experience a four-stage process, with the first stage being the failure of the dream (19:10-19:43). The next stage is the search for meaning/grief’s slow wisdom: this stage involves the slow process of us opening up to what God says during this grievous time just as the disciples did as they talked to Jesus on the road to Emmaus (19:44-21:13). Meiburg reveals the third stage as the illuminating presence, when the disciples’ eyes were opened and discovered new truths (Jesus being resurrected) (21:14-22:49). The response of action is the final stage, marked by the disciples’ sudden return to Jerusalem to see the other disciples (22:50-23:41). Meiburg ends by reinforcing that when a dream dies, we must seek new truths and act in faith (23:42-27:44). The service closes with a benediction (27:45-28:22).

- Craig S Troutman was the pastor of the Raleigh Moravian Church. The day’s date is confirmed (the rest is cut) (0:00-0:12). A hymn is played followed by a word of prayer (0:13-3:42). Craig Troutman reads part of the Christmas story from the book of Luke (3:43-5:57). He then introduces himself, greets the congregation, and announces that they will be participating in the Moravian love feast in preparation for Christmas (5:58-7:10). A hymn is played (cut) (7:11-7:13). Troutman explains the Moravian love feast with emphasis on joy and unity as a community of God (7:14-9:14). The Moravian prayer is recited before the congregation takes part in the feast (9:15-9:25). A hymn is played followed by another hymn sung by the choir (9:26-16:22). Troutman provides a brief history of the Moravian tradition of lighting candles, focusing on light coming into a world of darkness (16:23-19:28). He explains how the congregation is supposed to participate in the singing of two hymns followed by the singing of another hymn (cut) (19:29-20:26). The service closes with the reading of Isaiah 9:6 (20:27-20:56).

- Elizabeth B. Barnes was SEBTS Assistant Professor of Theology. Barnes is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:08). A hymn is played (0:09-4:18). The choir sings a song of worship (4:19-7:09). A hymn is played (cut) followed by a word of prayer (7:10-8:51). There is Scripture reading from Psalm 51:1-2, Matthew 18:21-22, and Colossians 3:12-15a (8:52-10:30). A soloist sings (10:31-15:57). Psalm 1:10-12 is the day’s words of assurance (15:58-16:49). Barnes focuses on forgiveness as the greatest form of love (16:50-17:52). She speaks of the theme of forgiveness in John Steinbeck’s East of Eden (17:53-20:20). We can only forgive truly when we understand God’s forgiveness and receive His forgiveness (20:21-20:41). Barnes discusses five characteristics of God’s forgiveness: it is genuine, social, extravagant, restorative, and receptive (20:42-21:20). First, God forgives us for genuine injuries against Him and others, and He forgives completely (21:21-22:22). Second, God’s forgiveness is social as it is for all people, and we are to mimic this forgiveness to others as well (22:23-24:38). Third, God forgives extravagantly just as the father did to his son in the parable of the prodigal son (24:39-26:13). Fourth, God’s forgiveness restores people through the resurrected Christ by making them His new sons and daughters (26:14-27:27). Fifth, God’s forgiveness is receptive: just as we receive His forgiveness, He receives our acceptance to His call to ministry (27:28-30:34). Barnes returns to East of Eden to explain that “the forgiven is dialogically related to the forgiver” (30:35-32:10). She conveys that both the forgiven and the forgiver receive something in return when these five characteristics of forgiveness, which represent God’s love and our love for one another, are displayed (32:11-32:46). The choir sings another song of worship (32:47-36:39). The congregation is told to go with their “words made holy” (36:40-36:51).

- Leon Smith was the pastor of First Baptist Church in Goldsboro, NC and the President of the NC Baptist State Convention. Smith is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:12). A hymn is played (0:13-7:32). A word of prayer is followed by another hymn (cut) (7:33-8:40). Smith is introduced (8:41-10:43). He thanks SEBTS for allowing him to speak (10:44-11:46). He begins with reading the story of the Samaritan woman at the well from John 4 (11:47-16:03). Smith speaks of how uncommon things reveal new truths, such as the story of the woman at the well (16:04-17:26). First, he highlights the story’s unusual scene: a Jew traveling in Samaria, a woman drawing water at mid-day, and a Jewish man speaking to a Samaritan woman (17:27-19:27). Jesus made His uncommon encounter common for His ministry by not judging someone by their race or gender as He has called all to be saved and to serve Him (19:28-21:50). Second, Smith delves into the unexpected conversation that begins in the physical realm with Jesus asking for a drink of water and transitions onto a more spiritual level with Jesus offering the woman His water of life (21:51-25:02). Third, Smith recognizes the woman’s unfulfilled life as she had had five husbands; her brokenness represents today’s relationships (25:03-26:44). Last, he speaks of the story’s uncommon joy, focusing on the woman’s realization that Jesus was the Christ who had come to save all (26:45-28:46). This uncommon joy is a result of the redemption made possible by Jesus who accepts all, despite their sins (28:47-29:34). Smith ends his message with comparing Jesus to a bridge since He is the one who connects us to God through His sacrifice (29:35-31:51). A word of prayer closes the service (31:52-32:40).

- Description:
- Thomas Furman Hewitt was Professor of Christian Ethics. C. Michael Hawn was Professor of Church Music (these two names were not announced in the recording, but were in the description section). The service begins (abruptly) with a recitation regarding the saints of God (0:00-0:40). A prayer of confession follows (0:41-1:41). A statement is given concerning how nothing can separate us in Christ (1:42-2:11). The choir sings a song of worship (2:12-5:52). Scripture reading is taken from the books of Revelation, Colossians, and John (5:53-9:26). Another song is sung (9:27-10:07). An affirmation of faith is recited followed by a word of prayer (10:08-14:28). The Chapel speaker begins his message by recounting the correspondence between a German professor and soldier during World War II on All Saint’s Day with a focus on death as the enemy (14:29-18:14). He explains that Christians are assured that death is not the end, evident by the celebration of All Saint’s Day—a day commemorating those already living in Jesus’ resurrected presence (18:15-19:32). Our personal fellowship with God gives us hope and assurance that death has no power (19:33-21:33). The speaker conveys that Jesus destroyed the power of death so that it cannot separate us from God, as he quotes the writer of Hebrews (21:34-23:51). He returns to his account of the German professor and the soldier to reinforce that in Christ we can overcome death (23:52-26:22). The choir sings another song of worship (26:23-28:28). The service ends with a prayer of commemoration and commitment (28:29-30:47).

- William P. Clemmons was Professor of Christian Education. It is Spirit Life Week and Clemmons is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:13). A hymn is played (0:14-3:55). The choir sings a song of worship (3:56-8:26). More singing commences after an explanation is given on how the congregation is supposed to join the choir (8:27-19:00). There is a moment of silence (19:01-1958). Scripture reading is provided from the book of Joel (19:59-21:17). Psalm 23 is sung (21:18-24:54). Additional Scripture reading is from the book of Matthew (24:55-27:02). Clemmons speaks of John Shay’s book The Spirit Master and focuses on how Jesus shares His Spirit with believers by engaging with them on a personal level (27:03-33:41). He then asks the congregation to reflect on his words as the choir begins to sing (33:42-38:26). Clemmons gives a word of prayer (38:27-39:37).

- Robert D. Dale was SEBTS Academic Coordinator and Professor of Pastoral Leadership and Church Ministries. Dr. Dale is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:08). A hymn is played (0:09-3:27). The choir sings a song of worship (3:28-6:21). Another hymn is played (cut) (6:22-7:19). A word of prayer is followed by Scripture reading from John 2:1-11 (7:20-9:42). Dr. Dale focuses on the Scripture reading and asks the question: why did John decide to show the beginning of Jesus’ ministry at a marriage party in Cana? (9:43-11:46). He explains that Jesus was trying to teach His disciples that following Him meant a life of joy, just as one experiences joy at a party (11:47-12:59). Joy is the proof of faith: Christianity ultimately is a lifestyle of joy (13:00-23:21). Dr. Dale speaks about how life is a burden without Jesus and how joy, once we become followers of Jesus, can become our witness that draws others to Him (23:22-25:26). He then explains that these verses are relevant due to the American culture reducing joy to fun and the conflicts that were occurring in the Southern Baptist Convention at the time (25:27-27:31). He closes his sermon with telling the congregation to “claim the joy of Christ and share it” (27:32-27:41). A word of prayer is given (27:42-28:04).

- Edwin Luther Copeland was Visiting Professor of Missions. A call to remember certain members is made (0:00-1:18). A word of prayer is followed by a hymn (cut) (1:19-3:25). Dr. Copeland is introduced (3:26-8:43). An anthem is sung (8:44-11:28). The Scripture reading is from Luke 10 (11:29-13:18). Dr. Copeland begins his sermon with recounting the sending out of the seventy to spread the Gospel to the Gentile world and how they received the power to liberate evil (13:19-16:58). However, Jesus informs us not to rejoice over having the power over demonic sources (16:59-17:27). Dr. Copeland explains that rejoicing over these victories can lead to pride, conceit, and arrogance, which can ultimately lead to the manipulation of people (17:28-17:50). He further states that succumbing to such arrogance of power means joining the enemy (17:51-19:15). He mentions that because we are not always victorious over evil, we should not make victories a source of rejoicing (19:16-20:15). Though Jesus said nothing can hurt us, we can still experience the power of the enemy and defeat (20:16-22:06). Dr. Copeland quotes Charles W. Ransom, regarding not allowing others to dissuade you from the call of ministry (22:07-25:31). He expresses that we should rejoice that we are saved and that we are spreading the Word (25:32-26:19). The Word is our drink, food, air, and life and it should bring us joy (26:20-27:01). A word of prayer closes the service (27:02-27:25).

- Chevis F. Horne was Visiting Professor of Preaching. Dr. Horne is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:16). A hymn is played (0:17-2:41). The choir sings an anthem (2:42-3:32). A word of prayer is followed by another hymn (cut) (3:33-5:35). The Scripture reading is Matthew 25:31-46 (5:36-8:18). The choir sings a song of worship (8:19-11:06). Dr. Horne focuses on the Scripture reading in his message, titled “Surprised by Judgment,” with an emphasis on Jesus as a servant and as a King (11:07-14:15). He finds it surprising how Jesus identified Himself as a servant on earth despite His place on the right hand of God, a place of honor and power (14:16-15:16). He is further surprised at how many poor people there are in the world whose presence he cannot escape now or at the time of Judgment (15:17-18:17). Dr. Horne talks of his surprise of the social questions that will be asked on the day of Judgment (18:18-20:30). He then discusses that believers are truly saved by grace and display graciousness in their lives (20:31-21:43). He also is surprised by Jesus identifying Himself with the poor: their pain is His pain (21:44-26:24). Dr. Horne hopes that those who are going to be pastors would “love, care for, minister for, and identify with their people” (26:25-27:05). He closes with a word of prayer (27:08-27:47). A hymn ends the service (27:48-30:10).

- Robert H. Parrish was Chairman of the Student Spirit Life Committee. Parrish is announced (0:00-0:09). A hymn is played (0:10-4:29). Psalm 100 is read, followed by a word of prayer (4:30-5:22). Another hymn is played (cut) (5:23-5:30). The prayer of Francis of Assisi is recited as a model of servitude (5:31-6:56). 1 Samuel 3:9-11 and Mark 9:33-35 are read (6:57-10:13). Parrish speaks on God’s call to all to servitude; either small or large tasks ultimately serve God (10:14-13:33). With a strong emphasis on serving one another, Parrish requests everyone to accept a cup of water and pass their cups to their neighbors to drink (13:34-15:08). Additional discussion on servitude is conducted before a hymn is sung (cut) (15:09-17:53). The benediction is given (17:54-18:29).

- Robert H. Culpepper was Professor of Theology at SEBTS. Culpepper is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:07). A hymn is played (0:08-5:11). A word of prayer is followed by Scripture reading from Ephesians 2:11-18 (5:12-9:19). The choir sings a song of worship (9:20-12:27). Culpepper speaks on prayer to the Father through Jesus the Son in the Spirit, focusing on Ephesians 2:18 (12:28-14:51). He expresses that we need to remember to whom our prayers are addressed: to God as the Father, which is a dominate image of God (14:52-17:00). To address God as “Father” is to recognize Him in a personal, accessible, and intimate relationship, not necessarily to identify Him as male (17:01-21:15). Culpepper then discusses that we need to understand God’s holiness and thus approach Him with reverence and awe (21:16-22:07). Despite our sinfulness, we can come to God through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus and through the Holy Spirit when we conform to God’s will (22:08-28:47). Jesus serves as our model of prayer and ultimately, the Holy Spirit makes us want to pray and teaches us how to pray (28:48-32:13). Culpepper closes with saying that Christian prayer, through Jesus and empowered by the Holy Spirit, is directed to one who is concerned about us (32:14-33:56). The benediction is given (32:44-33:56).

- Dr. L. Keith Harper was Professor of Baptist Studies. Dr. Daniel Akin offers a word of welcome and provides the school’s mission (0:00-0:35). Dr. Harper begins his sermon by reading from Philippians 3:1-14 (0:36-3:17). He explains that the main theme of Philippians is the sufficiency of Christ (3:18-5:02). He separates the Scripture reading into three parts: Paul’s warning (verses 1-6), what Paul wanted more than anything else (verses 7-11), and Paul’s confession (12-14) (5:03-5:27). In verses 1-6, Paul warns his readers of the enemies of the cross who place the law above faith and warns them of themselves (5:28-13:01). Reading from verses 7-11, Dr. Harper discusses Paul’s desire to know Christ better after his conversion on the road to Damascus and illustrates that Paul’s greatest gain was losing his old life (13:02-25:38). Dr. Harper presents Paul’s confession in verses 12-14: Paul is continuing to run the race for the glory of God (25:39-29:58). He then provides a quote from J.I. Packer’s “Knowing God” and expresses his wish that all believers would seek a deeper understanding of God (29:59-34:08). He concludes his sermon with a prayer (34:09-34:46). Dr. Akin gives a final word (34:47-35:50).

- Dr. L. Keith Harper was Professor of Baptist Studies. Dr. Harper thanks the musicians and explains that he will be focusing on the doctrine of baptism presented in Matthew 3:13-17 (0:00-1:48). He then reads the verses in Matthew (1:49-2:35). He speaks about how the definition of baptism has greatly shaped the identity of Baptists, but it has also led to many controversies (2:36-3:34). Dr. Harper reveals that there are three elements of Scriptural baptism: Jesus as a consecrated candidate, the Jordan River as a perfect picture, and John the Baptist as an authorized administrator of baptism (3:35-5:16). Since Jesus was sinless, only the saved can experience baptism; baptism does not wash away sins (5:17-13:28; the audio here skips a little). The Jordan River provides a perfect picture for total immersion, which serves as a symbol for what Christ has done for us internally (13:29-20:32). Dr. Harper discusses how you can be a believer and not have scriptural baptism, and he conveys that baptism is a church ordinance not a Christian ordinance (20:33-26:40). He concludes with saying that it matters who is baptized and how they are baptized (26:41-30:20). No audio (30:21-30:25). Dr. Harper is thanked for his sermon (30:26-31:05). A word of prayer ends the service (31:06-32:36).

- Dr. L. Keith Harper was Assistant Professor of Church History. Dr. Harper is introduced (0:00-2:19). The choir sings a song of worship (cut) (2:20-2:25). Dr. Harper thanks the musicians and instructs the congregation to turn to 1 Kings 22 (2:26-2:51). Before delving into Scripture, Dr. Harper briefly mentions Dr. Stephen Andrews and his archaeological work (2:52-3:56). He asks the question: what do you do when you want to do right, but everyone else wants you to make the decision that is morally wrong? (3:57-4:50). He then reads from 1 Kings 22, focusing on the prophet Micaiah and how he faced adversity (4:51-7:49). There will be times where it feels like you are against everyone else (7:50-9:00). Dr. Harper provides three ways how Micaiah dealt with adversity, with the first one involving Micaiah knowing his identity (9:01-17:58). Second, Micaiah knew what to expect (17:59-19:44). He knew that he faced a demand for conformity, false religion, and intense hatred (19:45-22:35). Dr. Harper discusses that as believers we must make a stand for Christ by not conforming, not following false religion, and acting more Christ-like in the face of hatred (22:36-28:06). Third, Micaiah knew how to cope with adversity by enduring the consequences (28:07-30:39). Dr. Harper concludes with expressing that God’s path is not the one with the least resistance and that a generation that will not conform to this world is needed (30:40-32:57).

- Description:
- Dr. L. Keith Harper was Professor of Baptist Studies. Dr. Harper offers a word of thanks, recognizes several people in the congregation, and reveals that he will be speaking about the missionary Issachar Jacox Roberts who greatly shaped the Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board (0:00-2:29). He begins with Roberts’ conversion to Christianity and his eventual desire to conduct missions in China; however, Roberts did not establish a secure connection with the Foreign Mission Board (2:30-10:03). Roberts’ quasi-independent missionary status caused problems for his fellow missionaries and he was prone to complain about financial matters (10:04-11:58). Dr. Harper explains that Roberts also reached out to the Foreign Mission Board to send a woman to China to become his assistant and wife (11:59-15:56). The financial dispute continued until the Board gave in to Roberts (15:57-17:30). The Board sent Harriet Baker to China as a missionary not as a wife for Roberts; this led to Virginia Young wanting to go to China, but she was declined (17:31-19:06). Virginia Young and Roberts somehow met, married, and traveled to China (19:07-19:52). This visit and Roberts’ prior conflicts with the Foreign Mission Board would change the lives of all those associated with mission work in China (19:53-23:39). Dr. Harper discusses the criticism that arose when the Foreign Mission Board severed connections with Roberts, which led to Roberts’ complaint of the decision affecting his wife’s health and his monetary position (20:40-30:15). Roberts desired to form an only male missionary committee, with the hope of achieving individual freedom and harmony (30:16-33:13). After the negative information about Roberts leaked from the annual meeting of the Richmond Foreign Mission Board, he lost support (33:14-36:21). His wife left him in China, but he did eventually return to America where he died of leprosy (36:22-37:11). Roberts left his estate in China to another missionary, leaving mothing for his wife (37:12-37:57). Dr. Harper clarifies that Roberts’ missionary life raised questions regarding how missionaries were to answer their calling and how they were to relate to others (37:58-38:28). He conveys that Roberts forced the Foreign Mission Board into forming its own identity and establishing its authority over its missionaries, shaped Southern Baptist journalism, helped in promoting single women in the field of missions, and raised questions concerning how missionaries were to live and interact with each other during missions (38:29-45:56). Dr. Harper expresses that more questions than answers has resulted from this research (45:57-46:31; he is cut off mid-sentence).

- Anne L. Neil was Consultant for Women in Ministry. Neil is announced as the Chapel speaker (0:00-0:07). A hymn is played (0:08-6:54). Luke 1:39-56 is the Scripture reading of the day (6:55-9:39). A list of concerns is discussed (9:40-11:05). A word of prayer is given (11:06-12:26). Anne Neil is introduced (12:27-13:14). Before she begins speaking, Neil asks for a moment of silence (13:15-13:59). Neil begins with a question, “where is the prophetic voice,” and then she expresses how Mary (Jesus’ mother) and her cousin Elizabeth were unlikely candidates to share the coming of Jesus (14:00-21:00). Both Mary and Elizabeth prophesied Jesus’ salvation (21:01-24:59). Neil discusses how Mary’s prophetic song in the book of Luke reveals the struggles of those who live in poverty and she asks the question: “where is compassion and biblical justice?” (25:00-28:26). She explains that the three sources of prophetic voices are the third world, the black churches of America, and women who all are called to proclaim the Gospel (28:27-33:19). A word of prayer is given (33:20-34:50). Neil closes with the wish that everyone would leave with “hope and God’s good humor” (34:51-35:02).

- Jack Stearns was the Director of the Mid-Atlantic Region of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education. Stearns is announced as the Chapel speaker (0:00-0:14). A hymn is played (0:14-3:15). A word of prayer is given, followed by a hymn (3:16-6:40). Guest visitors for Clinical Pastoral Education Day are welcomed and Stearns is introduced (6:41-11:36). A hymn is played (cut) (11:37-11:42). Reading from Luke 10:25-37, Stearns focuses on the “good neighbor” image of ministry (11:43-16:28). He speaks of the internal difference of the three neighbors from the Scripture that caused the different responses to the injured man (16:29-17:30). Perhaps the priest and the Levite were preoccupied with their cultural duties or other matters (17:31-20:34). The Samaritan showed compassion, implying that he was a man willing to care and a man who had experienced brokenness (20:35-22:03). Stearns then mentions that we all have a little of the priest and Levite in us (22:04-23:37). He also suggests that maybe the Samaritan was fulfilling the law to love God and others by showing compassion (23:38-24:05). Believers have a common bond that causes us to come to together to answer God’s call to ministry (24:06-26:27). Stearns ends with a final word on the good neighbor image: we are one body that God calls on to minister to others (26:28-28:21). A word of prayer concludes the service (28:22-30:37).

- Lewis A. Drummond was the fourth president of SEBTS. Billy Graham is introduced as the guest speaker for Drummond’s inauguration (0:00-0:15). A hymn is played (0:16-7:36). A word of prayer is followed by another hymn (cut) (7:37-8:47). The audience is greeted, and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Roy L. Honeycutt is presented (8:48-10:08). Honeycutt represents all the seminaries and theological schools in the U.S. and Canada and shows his support for Drummond’s inauguration (10:09-17:00). The Scripture reading for the day is from Psalm 84 and Acts 20 (17:01-20:53). Billy Graham is introduced (20:54-25:19). The choir sings an anthem (25:20-30:30). Dr. Graham greets everyone and reads Proverbs 29:18 and Acts 16:9 (30:31-37:21). He speaks of the calls to hear, help, and heed with a focus on evangelism and social service as well as proclaims his support of Drummond as SEBTS new president (37:22-1:04:58).

- Fisher Humphries was Professor of Theology at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Fisher Humphries is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:14). A hymn is played (0:15-3:07). A word of prayer is given, followed by another hymn (cut) (3:08-5:53). Humphries is introduced, and his message focuses on the Bible and spiritual formation as the second part to his previous message on the church (5:54-8:02). Humphries greets his audience and reads from Psalm 119 (8:03-9:24). He speaks of four ways Scripture forms our lives: it provides a Christian worldview, offers the experience of God’s reality, demonstrates how to live in ordinary life and in a community, and reveals our true identities (9:25-10:07). Scripture is effective in providing believers with a worldview that can be based on astronomy and geography, psychology, and history (10:08-13:08). Scripture impacts the Christian worldview: it assures us that the world is not shapeless, informs us that the world is not how God intended it to be, protects us against idolatry, teaches us to live in anticipation, and transforms the meaning of history (13:09-19:50). Humphries then speaks of how Scripture is a catalyst for experiencing God with a focus on conversion, prayer, guidance and strength, friendships, and Biblical stories (19:51-24:49). Reading from Proverbs, Humphries reinforces how Scripture gives practical guidance for living our lives (24:50-33:03). He also discusses how Scripture illustrates how to live in a community (34:00-35:49). Lastly, Humphries mentions how Scripture reveals our true identities and finally closes with a summary of the four main points of his lecture (35:50-41:19). A word of prayer is given followed by a hymn (41:20-43:43).

- Fisher Humphries was Professor of Theology at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Humphries is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:28). Two hymns are played (0:29-4:37). A word of prayer is given, followed by another hymn (cut) (4:38-6:44). Humphries is introduced (6:45-9:43). Humphries thanks the Seminary for allowing him to speak (9:44-13:27). Based on 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, Humphries’ message concerns sanctification and spiritual formation (13:28-15:51). He provides four examples of believers’ self transcending impulse towards God: freedom, the need to understand, a desire for happiness, and the impulse to love and be loved (15:52-17:44). All these impulses are fulfilled in God, as spiritual formation (17:45-18:33). Humphries states that the best analogy of spiritual formation is one’s influence over another without manipulation (18:34-20:53). He plans to speak on two means of spiritual formation, the church and the Bible; the lecture on the church is for this day’s message while the one on the Bible is for the following day’s message (20:54-23:25). The church is both an institution and a fellowship, but God is more concerned with the people not an organization (23:26-24:53). Humphries explains that the church as an organization consists of people who contribute to spiritual formation and asks whether this is true of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) where opposition exists (24:54-27:23). He discusses Liberal Protestantism, Fundamentalism as a response to the former movement, and finally Evangelicalism which resulted due to the problems of Fundamentalism (27:24-32:42). However, disagreements in the Evangelicalism movement have occurred because it did not plant strong roots (34:43-38:31). Humphries compares the SBC, with its unstable foundation, to this movement; it also needs to strengthen its roots (34:38-38:31). He does say that God has and is using the SBC for spiritual formation despite its flaws, as the church has never been perfect and the church’s mission continues to be performed (38:32-40:19). He reinforces that the church is the people of God and a place of spiritual formation (40:20-42:47). He concludes with a recitation of the scripture reading from 1 Thessalonians (42:48-43:51). A word of prayer is given, and a hymn ends the service (43:16-46:13).

- James H. Blackmore was Emeritus Professor of A. Div. Studies and Visiting Professor of Biblical Studies. Blackmore is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:20). A hymn is played (0:20-4:50). A brief explanation of the use of a shofar (ram's horn) in scripture is provided, followed with one being blown for the congregation (4:51-8:50). A prayer is given, and a hymn is sung (cut) (8:51-9:48). The scripture reading is from Luke 22:24-34(9:49-11:21). Another prayer is spoken (11:22-13:23). The subject of the message regards believers facing temptations (13:24-18:45). Blackmore mentions a book based on the temptations of a preacher, from which he plans to discuss four temptations (18:46-19:14). The first temptation involves believers equating their thoughts of God with God Himself; however, words are limited and inadequate in comparison to God’s greatness (19:15-21:39). Though our minds are incapable of fully comprehending God, He calls us to a greater understanding (21:40-23:31). Blackmore speaks of the second centuries-old temptation which is to be jealous of one another (23:32-25:04). We should not be jealous because God has given everyone a gift to use for His glory (25:05-25:54). The third temptation concerns ministers neglecting their families as they become more prominent in their work (25:55-29:46). Working for a wage is the last temptation, and Blackmore reveals that God provides Himself as the greatest reward for those who work for Him (29:47-31:50). Blackmore ends his message with a request that the Holy Spirit be with them all, followed by a song of worship (31:51-33:40). The service concludes with another hymn (33:41-36:20).

- Roy E. De Brand was Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Roy E. De Brand is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:07). A hymn is played (0:08-3:59). Scripture reading is followed by another hymn (cut) (4:00-4:36). Prayer requests are made, and a word of prayer is given (4:37-8:44). The choir sings a song of worship (8:45-12:15). De Brand speaks about the necessity of an enduring faith for difficult times such as when Americans were fighting for independence from England (12:16-13:59). He focuses on the expression of faith found in the book of Lamentations 3:19-26 (14:00-17:36). Faith comes easy during the good times, but it is during the bad times when faith seems hard to find (17:37-19:09). De Brand discusses that it is easy to find faith as long as we acknowledge God’s eternal, steadfast love (1910-21:26). However, during difficult times, we lose sight of God’s love (21:27-22:04). As De Brand quotes Whittier’s poem Eternal Goodness, he speaks of God’s love always being there for us (22:05-23:28). He then adds that hope is necessary for finding faith during our trials as it provides us the “assurance that our inner strength is greater than our outward problems” (23:29-27:31). We will always face tough times, but hope and the knowledge that God is in control will sustain us (27:32-29:02). God does not disregard those who seek Him so we must be continuously looking to God for enduring faith (29:03-32:00). De Brand concludes with citing from Paul’s epistle to the Corinthians: love is the greatest of the three lasting things of this world (faith, hope, and love) (32:01-33:27). He gives a word of prayer (33:28-34:12).

- Lewis Addison Drummond was the fourth president of SEBTS. The announcement of President Lewis Drummond being the Chapel speaker for the Fall Convocation is made (0:00-0:08). Hymns are played (0:09-10:48). A word of prayer is given (10:49-12:11). Another hymn is played (cut) (12:12-12:19). Adjunct professors, new students, Vice President of External Affairs George Worrell, and guests are welcomed to the 38th academic year at SEBTS (12:20-16:28). George Worrell reads Colossians 2:1-7 as the day’s Scripture reading (16:29-17:48). C. Michael Hawn, Professor of Church Music, is given an award for faculty excellence (17:49-21:40). Drummond begins his sermon, based on Colossians 2:6-7 (21:41-23:04). He focuses on us, as the body of Christ, determining our destiny (23:05-24:34). Titling his sermon “Waking into Destiny,” Drummond speaks of walking in the spirit as a personal experience, but it can also be experienced on a corporate level (25:08-26:18). He informs that there are four principles within the passage from which he read, with one involving walking in godliness as individuals (26:19-31:17). He desires SEBTS to walk in godliness on a more collective level, as a whole (31:18-32:00). Drummond mentions the time when he felt God’s presence at another university and declares that walking in godliness can be the Seminary’s destiny as well (32:01-35:18). Two other principles he speaks of are “getting” and “giving:” since we have received so much from Christ, we should give back to others by sharing Jesus with them (35:19-40:17). Drummond wants SEBTS as an institution to give Jesus to others and to be rooted in the faith so that it can grow and mature as a place of prayer (40:18-47:46). The last principle is gratitude as we have so much to be thankful for in our lives (47:47-51:44). Drummond closes with a goal for SEBTS to glorify Christ by walking in godliness, giving as much as it has received, and showing gratitude (51:45-52:57). A word of prayer concludes the sermon (52:58-53:35).

- Thomas A. Jackson was the pastor of the Wake Forest Baptist Church. Jackon is announced as the Chapel speaker (0:00-0:10). Two hymns are played (0:11-5:15). Scripture reading is followed by a hymn (cut) (5:16-5:54). A request for prayer is announced, and a word of prayer is given (5:55-9:22). Jackson is introduced (9:23-11:18). The choir sings an anthem (11:19-13:21). Jackson speaks of an actor, Paul Alexander, who came to know Jesus and memorized the whole Gospel of John (13:22-15:01). He then reads from John 13, focusing on Jesus’ commandment to His disciples to love one another (15:02-16:06). Jackson discusses the topic of us, as Christians, representing Jesus faithfully (16:07-21:17). He reveals that many churches claim to be true representatives of Christ based on certain criteria (21:18-22:23). Not one of the criteria includes loving one another as Jesus loves us (22:24-23:42). He then tells a story of love among comrades, comparing it to how Jesus wants us to love one another (23:43-26:33). Jackson asks the congregation to pray to God to help them love one another as Jesus so that they may become as one (26:34-27:59). He concludes with a word of prayer (28:00-30:09).

- Donald E. Cook was the Professor of New Testament at SEBTS. Cook is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:14). Two hymns are played (0:15-4:08). A word of prayer is given, followed by another hymn (cut) (4:09-4:36). Scripture reading from Philippians 2:5-11 is provided, and a word of prayer is given (4:37-7:09). The choir sings a song of worship (7:10-9:11). Cook speaks of the time when he was helping to recruit students, and a woman asked him what does some Jew who died on the cross have to do with her (9:12-13:33). He explains that we should believe because of the words of Jesus (13:34-16:10). However, a friend of Cook asked why we should believe based on words: words are simply words (16:11-17:45). Cook answers that Jesus’ deeds should give us reason to believe, yet his friend tells him that Jesus’ deeds are not compelling (17:46-20:56). Cook finally tells his friend words and deeds do not form the basis of his faith, but Jesus’ death on the cross (20:57-21:26). Another question is asked: what makes Jesus different from all the other Jews who were crucified? (21:27-22:32). Cook proclaims Jesus as the Son of God whose presence, love, and life give meaning to His words and deeds and who is the basis of the Christian faith (22:33-25:31). Cook ends with saying that Jesus is our light, courage, love, and forgiveness that brings us together before God as His children (25:32-28:14). The sermon is concluded with a word of prayer (28:14-28:59).

- Donna M. Forrester was the Chaplain at SEBTS. Forrester is announced as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:27). An opening hymn is played (0:08-2:51). A male soloist sings (2:52-3:51). Scripture reading is provided from Isaiah 40:28-31 and Romans 12:9-21 (3:52-6:06). Concerns and celebratory topics are addressed (6:07-7:42). A word of prayer is given (7:43-8:45). Forrester speaks of the destruction of Coventry Cathedral and the city where it is located that occurred during World War II (8:46-13:04). The city was at a crossroads: it could respond with vengeance or forgiveness (13:04-14:16). She explains that the rhythm of Christian faith is crucifixion, forgiveness, and resurrection (14:17-14:25). She then returns to the story of Coventry Cathedral with a recount of the creation of two crosses at the site of destruction (14:26-15:35). The crosses were eventually placed in the newly rebuilt cathedral with the words, “Father, forgive,” inscribed on one of them (15:36-16:11). Now, the new cathedral is growing as an example of love being triumphant (16:12-17:08). Forrester speaks of how Calvary became more real to her after seeing the cathedral during her trip to Coventry, England (17:09-19:15). She then asks how did Jesus forgive and what does it take to forgive? (19:16-20:09). She explains that anger, bitterness, and hopelessness characterize one who does not forgive (20:10-23:36). Since we have been shown love and grace, we should show this kind of love to others through forgiveness (23:37-25:50). Forrester states that “forgiveness restores integrity and freedom to oneself and one’s relationships to others and to God” (25:51-26:30). We need to discover who in our lives needs to be forgiven (26:31-27:17). She discusses that it is our need and command to forgive as it restores relationships, frees us to end relationships, and reconciles us to God (27:18-28:14). When we forgive, we can know that we too are forgiven (28:15-28:34). Forrester concludes with a prayer (28:35-29:20). Another song is sung (29:21-32:50). The congregation recites a litany of forgiveness (32:51-35:41). The event ends with another song (35:42-36:34).

- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Shaddix begins his sermon by reading from the book of Haggai with a focus on the question, “are you in hot pursuit of the effects and influences of the Holy Spirit in your life? (0:00-4:25). He reads about the time when the prophet Haggai beckons Israel to return to rebuilding the Temple (4:26-6:12). He tells the congregation he is going to address three questions: what is the relevance of this passage, what is the problem presented, and what is the solution? (6:13-6:32). To answer the first question, Shaddix explains that the Temple represents Christ’s presence, the laborers represent us as Christ’s followers, and the laborers’ lack of pursuing the rebuilding of the Temple represents our lack of pursuing the effects of the Holy Spirit in our lives (6:33-13:43). He states that if we presume the experience of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we cannot fully experience the full effects (13:44-14:37). Shaddix then presents the problem, which is that God’s people paused their work (14:38-15:22). Three reasons exist as to why they stopped working that can be applied to why today we presume the effects of the Holy Spirit (15:23-16:01). The first reason is that our enemies deter us from our pursuit (16:02-17:31). The second reason involves being discouraged by the lack of results in our ministry efforts (17:32-19:45). Allowing excess and pursuits of comfort to distract us is the third reason (19:46-22:52). Shaddix provides a three-component solution with the first component involving obeying the Word of God and returning to our work as His laborers (22:53-24:37). The second part of the solution is to fear the discipline of God (24:38-27:54). Rely on the grace of God comprises the third component (27:55-29:44). Shaddix concludes with how the solution can lead to our hot pursuit of the effects of Christ’s presence in our lives (29:45-31:53). He gives a word of prayer (31:54-32:37).

- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Shaddix begins his sermon reading from 2 Timothy 1:15-18 (0:00-2:24). Just as Paul refers to spreading the Gospel as running a race, Shaddix compares the relay event in track and field to spreading the Gospel: passing on the baton is similar to passing on the Gospel to others (2:25-7:27). In his epistle, Paul writes to a struggling Timothy who is on the verge of quitting the race, but Paul encourages him not to desert the race (7:28-9:00). Shaddix states that everyone is called into the race to preserve the Gospel and pass it on to others (9:01-9:38). To help Timothy, Paul provides examples of “runners” who deserted the race and who were devoted to it (9:39-12:16). Those that walked away from completing the race, deserted the Gospel (12:17-13:32). However, Paul mentions one man, Onesiphorus, who sacrificed his life to spread the Gospel, and Paul encourages Timothy to be like this man (13:33-18:16). Shaddix then presents Paul’s three instructions to Timothy with the first one telling him to depend on God’s grace for strength in this race (18:17-26:36). The second instruction is to develop devoted disciple-makers who will continue to spread the Gospel (26:37-28:46). Shaddix explains that discipleship is key to spreading the Gospel and that there will always be someone who desires to pass on the Gospel baton (28:47-31:28). The third instruction is to share in the sufferings that comes with spreading the Gospel (31:29-33:58). Shaddix speaks of how Paul is trying to tell Timothy that sharing the Word is not an easy task; there will be hardships (33:59-35:42). He then gives Paul’s three illustrations in the second chapter of 2 Timothy that demonstrate how we are to fulfill the Gospel race: denial, discipline, and diligence (35:43-36:13). Like a soldier, we must deny ourselves certain things in life (36:14-37:02). Passing on the Gospel to others requires discipline—rules must be followed (37:03-37:19). We must be diligent in this race as it can be tiresome work (37:20-38:18). Shaddix makes the congregation aware of not letting gifted people miss the opportunity of running the Gospel race because they were not provided with a stable “baton” (38:19-39:39). He concludes with asking the congregation to pray to God to give them the strength to successfully pass on the Gospel baton (39:40-40:20).

- Description:
- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Shaddix begins with asking the congregation to turn to Acts 6, focusing on ministry (0:00-6:22). The passage’s theme is church growth, but Shaddix delves deeper and discusses how the New Testament church overcame challenges to growth (6:23-11:36). The New Testament church leaders embraced their roles as stewards of God’s Word (11:37-12:31). Shaddix presents three answers to overcoming challenges of church growth (12:32-13:17). First, as a living organism, the church must grow by the Gospel; the church must be rooted by the Gospel (13:18-19:29). Second, as faithful stewards, we must protect the witness of the Gospel (19:30-23:52). Shaddix reveals that the New Testament church leaders protected two primary agents for Gospel advancing: prayer and preaching (23:53-24:19). Just as the New Testament leaders, we need to understand that prayer is how we unleash the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives (24:20-29:22). Regarding preaching, the New Testament church leaders referred to it as “distributing” the Gospel as they physically went out into secular places and spoke the Word (29:23-35:05). They grounded themselves by prayer while they distributed the Gospel to others (35:06-36:09). Third, we must share the work of the Gospel (36:10-39:07). Shaddix speaks about why the New Testament church leaders shared the Gospel: to minister to not just the poor, but also to all people so that they can spread the Word (39:08-46:00). Everyone who are saved are called to share the Gospel (46:01-46:22). Shaddix closes with three challenges for the congregation: 1) make time for prayer, 2) assign tasks for people in your church, and 3) lead your church to care for the disenfranchised (46:23-49:01). He gives a word of prayer (49:02-49:53).

- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Dr. Daniel Akin welcomes listeners and provides the Seminary’s mission statement (0:00-0:32). A Scripture reading from Matthew 7 is given (0:33-0:49). Shaddix begins his sermon, which focuses on the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12) (0:50-5:39). There are three components he will discuss relating to the rule being used for a Great Commission School: 1) the rule itself, 2) the relationships guided by the rule, and 3) the reason for the rule (5:40-8:30). Multiple versions of the rule in history exist (8:31-10:30). However, these versions differ from Jesus’ version because they all are negative statements (10:31-12:19). The rule has often been and continues to be stated as “do not unto others that which you would not do unto them,” and thus is used as a tool for self-protection and self-preservation (12:20-12:59). Jesus’ version serves as a positive and proactive guide on how we should treat others with no consideration of how they treat us (“do to others that which you would wish to be done to you”) (13:00-14:51). This rule is positive because it is inconsistent with the negativity of the other versions since God is the opposite of negativity (14:52-16:34). It is also inconsistent with the guilt of man: the popular versions encourage people to do nothing in order to fulfill the rule and hence have the end result of people being guilty of passivity (16:35-18:10). Jesus does not want a church where passivity is present, but a church that is active in its response to God’s call (18:11-20:49). Shaddix then refers to verses 7-11, as he discusses how the rule guides our relationships and how we are to practice righteous discrimination by first looking at our own sins before we can help others realize their sins (20:50-31:00). He presents the reason for the Golden Rule (“this is the law and the prophets”) and explains that Jesus was referring to Himself as He had come to fulfill the law and the prophets’ sayings in the Old Testament (31:01-36:50). He concludes by saying that Jesus came to treat us as He wished we would treat Him (36:51-38:59). Shaddix gives a word of prayer (39:00-40:07). Akin gives a final word (40:08-41:11).

- Description:
- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Dr. Daniel Akin welcomes listeners and provides the Seminary’s mission statement (0:00-0:31). Shaddix’s sermon focuses on worrying less about answering God’s call to mission (0:32-3:38). He states that anxiousness arises usually due to the uncertainty of being financially secure in ministry work (3:39-6:07). He presents nine points on worry in his sermon, “Worry-less Ministry,” which is based on the passage in Matthew 6:25-34 (6:08-7:02). The first point is the principle Jesus discusses that involves God promising to take care of His children’s needs in order for them to fully occupy themselves with pursuing Him and His kingdom (7:03-9:00). Shaddix defines worry in the Bible as being distracted from absorbing oneself with God (9:01-14:32). He then discusses four distractions, with the first one being material things (14:33-14:44). He uses the parable of the seeds in Mark 4 to convey that we become absorbed with satisfying our material needs (14:45-16:49). The second distraction is service, and Shaddix refers to Martha’s anxiousness of serving people instead of sitting at Jesus’ feet with Mary in Luke 10:38 (16:50-18:47). Another distraction is one’s spouse: Paul says in 1 Corinthians 7:32 that married people are focused more on worldly things than God due to them obtaining more responsibilities that come with marriage (18:48-24:08). Suffering is the fourth distraction that can consume our time (verse reference is Philippians 4:4-9) (24:09-25:54). Shaddix proclaims that Jesus will take care of you so you do not have to worry and can give all your attention to God (25:55-26:43). However, we have become more absorbed in material needs and have placed answering God’s call to minister second in our lives (26:44-27:18). Next, Shaddix gives three applications, with the first one being to “minister for more than maintenance,” for more than just meeting your needs (27:19-29:36). Acting like a child and allowing God to take care of you is the second application (29:37-33:29). Do not try to be God is the third application: we must let God have full control in our lives (33:30-34:13). Shaddix ends his sermons with an exhortation to seize the day by applying the principle of not worrying (34:14-35:55). He gives a word of prayer (35:56-36:32). Akin gives a final word (36:33-37:35).

- Description:
- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Dr. Daniel Akin welcomes listeners and introduces Jim Shaddix (0:00-0:35). Shaddix asks the congregation to turn to Matthew 28; he focuses on defining discipleship (0:36-3:46). He decides to “unpackage” the essence of discipleship: there are three components (3:47-6:34). First, discipleship begins with accepting Jesus as the Son of God and the Savior of the world, but one must be careful in celebrating because this is only the beginning of discipleship (6:35-13:09). Second, knowing that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior involves the Cross, for the Gospel is incomplete without the Cross (13:10-21:27). The Cross is part of the Gospel that we cannot live without, as it is the power of salvation (21:28-23:40). Shaddix reveals that in addition to realizing that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior who died on the Cross, a third component to discipleship exists (23:41-24:04). This key component is “denying oneself and unashamedly living for Jesus” (24:05-30:37). Taking up one’s cross leaves no room for things of tomorrow; we must only follow Jesus (30:38-33:30). All three components define the true essence of discipleship, and thus, are all required to achieve discipleship (33:31-36:07). Shaddix concludes by saying that discipleship centers on carrying one’s cross as a follower, not just a friend, of Jesus (36:08-37:27). He then gives a word of prayer (37:28-38:07). Dr. Akin gives a final word (38:07-39:25).

- Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Dr. Daniel Akin welcomes listeners and introduces Jim Shaddix (0:00-0:32). Shaddix asks the congregation to turn to Ezra 8 and thanks the Seminary for allowing him to speak (0:33-1:40). His sermon focuses on spreading the Word without a backup plan, hence the title “Ministering Without a Backup Plan” (1:41-2:25). He reads from Ezra 8 (starting from verse 21) and gives a story about his unsuccessful attempt at growing a church (2:26-6:13). Shaddix describes two types of economies, with the first economy being one where growth/numbers mean success (6:14-7:09). The second economy is one similar to Ezra’s economy where no backup plan exists, where we have to depend on God showing up and revealing His glory (7:10-8:56). Shaddix provides three answers to what ministering without a backup plan looks like (8:57-9:13). First, it involves taking risks for the sake of God’s call to us to spread the Gospel: titles and salaries are not secure when we answer His call (9:14-16:16). Jesus talks of being prepared to give up everything in order to follow Him, but He will always be there by our sides (16:17-22:08). Second, having no backup plan is evident when we are jealous for God’s honor, when we desire for His glory to be shown (22:09-32:31). Third, it involves us humbling ourselves in desperate prayer, depending on God’s strength and crying out for God to show His glory (32:32-37:51). Shaddix concludes with saying that it is hard to minister without a backup plan and gives the congregation two challenges (37:02-38:37). He tells them to “make ministry moves that require God to show up” and to “make sacrificial prayer and fasting” (38:38-39:57). He then provides a word of prayer (39:58-41:07). Dr. Akin gives a final word (41:08-42:25).

The announcement of the Seminary’s Business Office setting up a fund for a Bangladesh relief offering is made (6:19-7:23). Another hymn is played (cut) (7:24-7:40). A Student Council member focuses on the question: what is truth (7:41-9:37)? Though not an easy question to answer, we still seek black and white answers for it (9:38-10:40). The member discusses that truth cannot be stated; it is seen in everyday life (10:41-12:32). Despite truth revealing itself to each of us uniquely as we seek it in our own ways, God’s revelations cannot be placed in a box: they must be experienced (12:33-13:49). The member concludes her discourse with the fact that we will always find more questions as we continue to seek the truth, and these questions will help us to realize that God is bigger than we ever imagined (13:50-14:41). The Student Council recites Scripture that focuses on truth (14:42-16:31). Three words of prayer are given (16:32-21:06). Candles are lit, symbolizing truth and love (21:07-21:49). A hymn is played (21:50-24:55). The candles, representing the inner light of Christ that reveals truth, are extinguished (24:56-25:32). The benediction is given (25:33-26:09).

- Thomas A. Bland was Professor of Christian Ethics and Sociology at SEBTS. Bland is announced as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:09). Two hymns are played (0:10-6:39). Scripture reading is provided, and a hymn is played (cut) (6:40-7:15). A second Scripture reading, Isaiah 6:1-13, is given (7:16-10:14). A word of prayer is given (10:15-14:02). Another hymn is played (cut) (14:03-14:08). Bland begins his sermon with a focus on performing our privilege and obligation to gather together for real worship (14:09-17:04). He contrasts real worship to a theater: we are the actors and God is the audience/recipient of our worshipping whereas those watching actors on stage are the recipients of their actions (17:05-19:11). Bland discusses Isaiah’s “vital encounter with God” in chapter six (19:12-22:25). Just as Isaiah became aware of his sinfulness in comparison to God’s holiness, so do we when we truly worship God (22:26-23:49). Bland speaks of a cleansing and a forgiveness of sins that we can experience during real worship (23:50-24:38). During real worship, we must respond to God’s call (24:39-26:08). When we continually come to worship, we need to renew this response to God’s commission so that we may share the experience of true worship (26:09-28:37). Bland concludes with a word of prayer (28:37-29:30).

- Peggy Haymes was an associate pastor of College Park Baptist Church in Greensboro, NC. Haymes is announced as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:12). An opening hymn is played (0:13-3:40). The congregation sings a song of worship (cut) (3:41-4:09). Prayer requests and a word of prayer are given (4:10-8:25). Haymes is introduced (8:26-9:20). The choir sings an anthem (9:21-11:46). Haymes begins with reading from Ephesians 3 (11:47-13:19). She gives a word of prayer (13:20-13:49). She speaks of turning to God’s Word when we need help/strength (13:50-18:13). Asking God for strength/power could be a good thing, but Ephesians 3 urges believers to seek God’s love (18:14-19:48). Haymes then poses the question: is God’s love enough against all our hardships (19:49-21:10)? This love seems simple; however, God’s love is uncommon as He loves us despite our sins (21:11-22:26). Though His love is a mystery, it is all we need (22:27-25:22). Haymes concludes with stating that nothing can or will separate us from His love (25:23-26:38). A word of prayer is given (26:39-27:02).

- 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).

- Charles McMillian was the Director of Missions of the Raleigh Baptist Association. McMillian is announced as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:10). An opening hymn is played (0:11-5:28). The congregation sings a song of worship (cut) (5:29-5:40). Two Scripture passages (the first unknown and the second from 2 Kings 7:1-9) are read followed by a word of prayer (5:41-9:38). The choir sings a song of worship (9:39-12:38). A female missionary is welcomed and McMillian is introduced (12:39-14:48). McMillian begins with a word of gratitude towards SEBTS and its faculty and students (14:49-16:04). He focuses on the increase of a lack of missions, which has led to the disrespect towards ministers and denominational disharmony (16:05-17:37). He defines missions as “what we do in response to God’s commission to us.” (17:38-18:26). McMillian believes in Jesus’ second coming as well as judgment; however, he points out that there is also daily judgment (18:27-19:28). When we fail to prioritize missions, we are already being judged (19:29-19:43). McMillian compares the hopelessness that those in Samaria were experiencing due to a famine in 2 Kings 6 and 7 to today’s society (19:44-23:53). Despite this hopelessness, he mentions that there is good news: the gift of the Gospel (23:54-26:00). As Christians, we must be willing to risk everything to perform our responsibility of sharing this gift with the world (26:01-27:13). McMillian informs that unfortunately a loss of willingness to spread the Gospel has increased (28:38-29:38). He encourages individuals to find a reason to live through missions (29:39-31:04). He strongly states that churches need to make missions their priority and that hesitation leads to loss of missions (31:05-37:11). We must share the good news out of love as is required by the Great Commission (37:12-38:35). McMillian ends his address by comparing the story of not training his dog to the hesitation of not being involved in missions (38:36-41:23). The service concludes with a word of prayer and a hymn (41:25-46:35).

- Lewis Addison Drummond was the fourth president of SEBTS. The announcement that President Drummond will be speaking is made (0:00-0:07). An opening hymn is played (0:08-3:05). Eternal life and having fellowship with Jesus are briefly discussed (3:06-3:48). The congregation sings a song of worship (cut) (3:49-4:05). A word of prayer is said (4:06-5:05). The choir sings an anthem once the congregation is welcomed (5:06-7:12). Drummond preaches from 1 John 1, focusing on fellowship with God (7:13-9:29). Fellowship is an intimate walk with Jesus that displays His glory (9:30-10:38). Drummond reads from Exodus when Moses shone with the glory of God, as evidence that God is light just as John writes (10:39-14:53). We cannot walk in fellowship with God if we walk in darkness/sin (14:54-16:29). Drummond declares we must acknowledge that we sin and that Jesus’ blood cleanses us so we can have fellowship with Him (16:30-18:35). Walking continually in Jesus’ cleansing ensures our fellowship with Him (18:36-20:14). If we realize that we sin and confess them, Jesus washes them away (20:15-24:06). God forgives our sins because Jesus’ blood can “bleach out” the stains; and thus, allows us to have fellowship with Him (24:07-26:56). Drummond ends with a story about a pastor who found fellowship with God after experiencing a difficult circumstance (26:57-29:48). The sermon concludes with a word of prayer (29:49-30:16).

Worrell begins sermon with a focus on love being key to making good relationships (13:42-14:59). He reads from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, which defines love (15:00-15:38). Love is patient (15:39-16:57). Love is kind (16:58-21:25). Love is courteous, not selfish (21:26-22:55). Love is not easily provoked (ex. Jesus) (22:56-25:15). Worrell preaches that good relationships abound because love does not highlight evilness, but brings out the goodness in people (25:16-28:41). He challenges the congregation to read 1 Corinthians 13 everyday for 30 days and practice loving as it is defined in the Scripture (28:42-32:49). Worrell concludes with a word of prayer (32:50-34:48).

- William Randall Lolley was the third president of SEBTS. The commencement begins with a word of prayer (0:00-2:12). It continues with Scripture reading and another word of prayer (2:13-8:04). President Lolley speaks of the birth and growth of SEBTS and introduces Linda Lee Baker, Senior Class Representative (8:05-12:44). Baker presents a gift to the Lolleys (12:45-15:14). Lolley thanks the graduates for the gift (15:15-16:37). The choir sings a song of worship (16:38-20:20). Dean Morris Ashcraft presents awards to certain graduates (20:21-31:27). The choir sings another song of worship (31:28-34:54). Lolley congratulates the graduates and discusses freedom for all to accept the call to minister (34:55-41:09). Lolley dedicates the night and offers a word of prayer (41:10-42:24). Lolley begins his sermon, based on the three dimensions of ministry found in John 13:1-17 (42:25-42:46). The first dimension is the “means” of ministry, referring to the discovery of ministry (42:47-45:36). The second dimension is the “method” of ministry: servitude (45:37-51:55). The third dimension is the “ends” of ministry, regarding the uniqueness of individual ministries (51:57-1:00:15). Lolley ends with promising the graduates that it is alright to make mistakes and recites from the poet Rudyard Kipling (1:00:16-1:03:00). The event is concluded with a word of prayer (1:03:01-1:03:36).

- Morris Ashcraft was the Professor of Theology and Dean of the Faculty at SEBTS. The commencement begins with a word of prayer (00:00-01:27). President William Randall Lolley welcomes the graduates with the announcement of this event being the first in a newly air-conditioned Binkley Chapel (01:28-04:07). Lolley speaks about the word “free” as the most precious word after “love” and highlights the school’s embrace of “fundamentalism” (04:08-06:28). Dr. William Rogers, Dean of the School of Christian Education at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, is introduced (06:29-07:44). Dr. Rogers identifies a few fellow colleagues and prepares to read two statements (07:45-08:11). The first statement is one of encouragement to Southeastern after experiencing a difficult time (08:12-09:27). The second statement is directed towards Lolley, praising his leadership (09:28-11:28). Lolley accepts both statements on behalf of the school (11:29-11:57). Scripture reading begins with Psalm 131 and ends with 1 Thessalonians 5:16-21 and 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5 (11:58-16:38). Lolley instructs graduates to come receive their diplomas when they are called and asks Dean Ashcraft to announce the graduates (16:39-17:55). The recipients of the Associate Degree in Divinity receive their diplomas (17:56-22:32). The recipients of the Master Degree in Christian Education receive their diplomas (22:33-25:22). The recipients of the Master Degree in Divinity receive their diplomas (25:23-43:54). The recipients of the Doctorate Degree in Ministry receive their diplomas (43:55-48:35). Lolley presents Dean Ashcraft to give his charge to the students (48:36-49:21). Reading from 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5 and 1 Thessalonians 5:16-21, Ashcraft gives the students the final charge (49:22-1:08:41). Lolley and the graduates participate in a litany of mission (1:08:42-1:11:22). The commencement ends with the Seminary song (cut) and a word of prayer (1:11:23-1:12:38).

- Description:
- John Warwick Montgomery was a lawyer, Lutheran theologian, professor, and writer. Montgomery asks the congregation to write down two website addresses (0:00-2:19). He then begins his sermon by reading from Acts 26 (2:20-7:05). Using Paul’s defense against King Agrippa and Governor Festus as a guide, he focuses on how to preach the Word to a secular world (7:06-10:41). First, we must preach the Gospel for ourselves; the Gospel must be presented personally (10:42-12:28). Second, we must preach to all—the “small and the great” (12:29-14:58). Third, we must create common ground between us and non-believers (14:59-17:27). Montgomery speaks that we should begin with our testimonies, just as Paul did (17:28-21:37). However, the danger of testimonies is that non-believers have the tendency to focus on what the speaker experienced rather than connecting the experience to Jesus and His salvation (21:38-22:07). Testimonies should always lead someone from the subjective speaker to the objective Christ: this does not typically happen (22:08-22:57). A testimony is an overall good place to start when spreading the Gospel, but the message should be restricted to Scripture (22:58-24:42). The Gospel is the center of the message that liberals do not take seriously and that conservatives do not realize leads people to salvation (24:43-25:52). Jesus is the cornerstone that one must fall on to be saved, and the events in the Gospel occurred publicly for all (25:53-30:09). How the Gospel will be received is not certain, but we must remain faithful and always restrict the message to Scripture alone (30:10-31:02). A word of prayer concludes the sermon (31:03-31:33).
