Robert Ernst Poerschke was the Professor of Christian Education at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. The service begins with a Scripture reading from Romans (0:00-1:01). Poerschke uses Romans to share about one’s sacrificial worship during Lent (1:02-4:45). He argues that Lent calls one to reflect on his life (4:46-7:40). There is a litany for worship and sacrifice (7:41-8:52). There is a call to reflection with a reading from Romans (8:53-10:20). There is a litany of reflection (10:21-12:25). There is a Scripture reading and a litany for rejoicing in hope (12:26-15:00). There is a moment of prayer (15:01-15:41).
Dennis Pinkney was a Southeastern Seminary MDiv student. The service begins with organ music, a Scripture reading from Psalms, and a moment of prayer (0:00-4:47). There is a Scripture reading from Matthew 16:21-26 (4:47-7:40). Pinkney begins by thanking the congregation for their care for him and speaking about Matthew 16:24-25 (7:41-10:18). Pinkney speaks on losing one’s life to gain Christ (10:19-18:20). Pinkney speaks on the world leaning on its own understanding, celebrating worldly things, rather than sacrificing for Christ (18:21-22:59). Pinkney speaks on how one gains life by a denial of self-existence (23:00-30:48). The service ends in a moment of prayer (30:49-31:36).
