- Description:
- Dr. Avery Willis was the Senior Vice President for Overseas Operations of the International Mission Board. The interview begins with Dr. Willis giving a background of his call to missions and his life in ministry (00:00-05:47). He briefly speaks on the restructuring of the IMB into regions (05:48-07:34). Dr. Willis defines the “new paradigm” of missions of seeking to find what God is doing in bringing people to saving faith (07:35-09:22). Dr. Willis defines the “cutting edge” in missions as being on edge of lostness, and he argues why they IMB needed to be restructured to focus on people groups and to get more laymen involved in missions (09:23-13:45). Dr. Willis defines the difference between “harvest field” and “unreached,” and this is reflected in the move towards looking at people groups rather than nations (13:46-15:13). He believes that there is a biblical mandate to reach everybody including both categories of the “harvest fields” and the “unreached” (15:14-16:09). Dr. Willis speaks on the how the funding for resources going towards the evangelization of unreached people groups has gone up over time and mentions how resources and have been shifted specifically for unreached people groups (16:10-19:36). Dr. Willis makes the prediction that a larger percentage of people will be involved in international missions, the third world will be producing more missionaries, and the center of the church will move to the third world by 2010 (19:37-22:20). Dr, Willis’ closing comment is that the church must always be listening to God and discovering his strategy for reaching the unreached, and he believes that today is the great day for mission (22:21-23:52).

The interview concludes with Stroope stating that Southern Baptist must hold on to their distinctive while at the same time prioritizing the biblical mandate, and part of this priority means guarding the autonomy of indigenous churches (1:18:47-1:26:51).

- John S. Hammett was Professor of Christian Theology. Hammett begins his sermon with the story of the first meeting of the Baptist Missionary Society where William Carey was commissioned as the first Baptist missionary, and he states the theme of his message which is the duty of the church to “hold the rope” for the ones they send out (00:00-02:57). Hammett grounds his sermon in the book of Philippians, and he shares his own personal experience as a missionary in Brazil. His first point is support for missionaries must come with prayer, and he says that churches should pray for God’s blessing upon them as they are facing difficulties on the field (02:58-17:53). Hammett’s second point is support for missionaries must come with sending out more workers (17:54-22:35).

Hammett concludes his sermon by urging the students to give of their selves and their wealth to missions and be consumed by God’s passion for the nations in prayer (27:06-30:28).

Dr. Fowler states that the focus of his lecture will be to respond to adult developmental theories and what it means to be human with the concepts of covenant and vocation (0:53-2:58). He discusses how faith in Christ frees humans to take on vocation and be in covenant with God. (2:58-11:00). He states that human vocation is to become partners in God’s creative, governing, and redemptive work (11:00-14:53). He notes that vocation and identity are closely linked and clarifies that vocation is the response of a person to the calling to partnership with God (14:53-23:25).

Dr. Stewart notes Christ’s conflict with the power of Satan during His earthly ministry and the work of the cross proved that God had ultimately won over those powers. The life of Jesus and His death were both ultimate victory (8:20-17:37). Dr. Stewart then states that God’s work is costly because God’s work is redemptive work, as Romans demonstrates. (17:37-23:12). He states that Christ won the victory man could not win and made the sacrifice man could not make. Now believers must continue to fight against Satan and live sacrificial lives (23:12-24:02). Dr. Stewart closes in prayer (24:02-24:41). Audio drops to a very low level at 6:18.

- David R. Beck was Professor of New Testament and Greek. He begins his lecture by speaking about the research he has been doing on his sabbatical and the topic of his lecture, evangelism in Luke-Acts (00:00-15:34). Beck first examines the genre of Luke-Acts as an historical narrative, and he says that both parts are gospel-centered (15:35-20:15). Beck walks through many passages that speak about Jesus’ evangelistic proclamation in Luke and the evangelism of the apostles in Acts, and he concludes that evangelism was an intentional part of life in the early church, and it was powered by the will and sovereignty of God (20:16-50:36).
