- The Student Council will be leading the day’s worship is announced (0:00-0:09). A hymn is played (0:10-4:04). Scripture reading is provided (4:05-5:56). A word of prayer is given (5:57-6:18). 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. 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).

- 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).

- 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).

- George E. Worrell was SEBTS Vice President for External Affairs. The sermon begins with the announcement of George E. Worrell as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:08). An opening hymn is played (0:08-4:31). A song of worship is announced to be played (cut) (4:32-5:12). New members on the board of trustees are welcomed (5:13-6:44). A word of prayer is given (6:45-8:03). Worrell is introduced (8:04-9:49). The choir sings a song of worship (9:50-13:41). 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).

- 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).

- 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).

- 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).
