  • SEBTS Chapel - Robert D. Dale October 25, 1988

    Description:
    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).

  • SEBTS Chapel - M. Mahan Siler March 19, 1986

    Description:
    M. Mahan Siler was the pastor at Pullen Memorial Baptist Church in Raleigh, North Carolina. The service begins with a song of worship (0:00-1:56). There is a Scripture reading for the call to worship (1:57-2:38). The choir leads the congregation in a song of worship (2:39-4:58). Prayer concerns are shared with the congregation and there is a moment of prayer (4:59-9:56). M. Mahan Siler begins his presentation by expressing his desire for his services to bring a renewal of hearts (9:57-11:17). He reads Scripture from Matthew (11:18-13:05). Siler shares a Greek legend to express that many people would love to have joy without the remembrance of sorrow and speaks about trend of valuing self-sacrifice replacing self-fulfillment (13:06-17:05). He shares that self-sacrifice is something that does not come naturally, but something believers are commanded to do (17:06-19:55). Siler speaks about Jesus being too weak to carry His cross, yet He told the people to weep for themselves, knowing they desired the joy of life without the sacrifice (19:56-22:00). Siler speaks of people who are living dead, “who are seduced by false security,” and of those who have joy amid suffering and sacrifice (22:01-29:38). He speaks of the “aliveness” of the gospel and of the need for believers to be witness of good news (29:39-31:56). The service closes with a song of worship (31:57-34:25).
