- Description:
- 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). His final point is support for missionaries must come with giving financial support (22:36-27:05). 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).

John Claypool begins his lecture by speaking on the privilege to share a stage with Theodore Adam (0:07:55-0:09:04). He continues to speak on the question from the previous lecture about the aim of Christian ministry, and he says that the problem of our restless fulfilment begins with the first humans who chose fulfilment outside of God (01:09:05-0:15:22). Claypool moves to the topic of the current lecture, and he first investigates the nature of humans being image bearers and the need in ministry to value image bearers (0:15:23-0:42:11). He brings up the story of the prodigal son, and he uses the story to describe the process of a good minister faithfully working to bring the lost soul back to Christ (0:42:12-0:55:20). Claypool concludes his lecture by summarizing his key point that ministers are to help remind people of who they truly are as image bearers created for God’s good works (0:55:21-1:01:02). The service ends with a word of prayer and a benediction (1:01:03-1:02:17).

- Description:
- John Rowan Claypool, IV was the pastor of Northminster Baptist Church in Jackson, MS. The service begins with a word of prayer (0:00:00-0:00:52). President Randall Lolley gives the community announcements, and he leads the audience in a word of prayer (0:00:53-0:04:16). John Rowan Claypool, IV is introduced as the Adams Lecturer (0:04:17-0:10:33). The choir sings a song of worship (0:10:34-0:13:36). John Claypool begins his lecture by speaking on the influence Theodore Adams has had on his life, and he asks the question of what he personally is about (0:13:37-0:19:11). His lecture centers on the objective question of what the aim of a Christian ministry is, and he first tells a story of a friend in ministry who suffered from what he called “cotton candy syndrome” (0:19:12-0:27:59). Claypool’s main idea is that humans by nature are restlessly looking for fulfilment, and he points to the message of Christ saying that fulfilment is not found somewhere else but God’s grace found in our hearts (0:28:00-1:02:57). The service ends with a word of prayer (1:02:58-1:03:37).

- Description:
- Tony Brewington was the Director of Mission for the Burnt Swamp Baptist Association. The service begins with a reading from Luke 4:17-19, and a word of prayer is given (00:00-02:50). Tony Brewington is introduced as the Missionary Day chapel speaker (02:51-04:20). The choir sings a song of worship (04:21-06:30). Brewington begins his sermon by describing his mission work as a Native American in eastern North Carolina (06:31-13:33). He says that the church has taken Jesus captive, and it is now our duty to put him back into the world where people are suffering (13:34-17:06). He argues that the church today has a microscopic view where they are finding a way to make themselves better (17:07-19:09). He then argues that the church today has a telescopic view where they are doing outreach in an exclusive and narrow-minded way (19:10-21:35). Brewington proposes that the church should have kaleidoscopic view that is centered on true outreach and the love of Jesus (21:36-26:25). The second point of Brewington’s message is that the church has become a hostage of the world, and he believes the only way out is for God to be behind the church’s mission (26:26-35:59). The final point of Brewington’s message is that the world is a hostage of sin, and the solution is to let Jesus loose to lead the church in the mission of saving the lost (36:00-48:11).
