1. SEBTS Chapel - M. Mahan Siler March 16, 1988

Description:
M. Mahan Siler was the pastor of Pullen Memorial Baptist Church in Raleigh, North Carolina. The service begins with a call to worship and a hymn based on Psalm 51 (0:00-4:08). There is a moment of prayer (4:09-7:14). There is a song of worship (7:15-8:37). Prayer concerns are shared with the congregation and there is a moment of prayer (8:38-11:20). Siler turns the congregation’s attention to the book of Luke (11:21-12:45). Siler speaks of being a bystander in the world (12:46-14:25). He then speaks of the bystanders who saw Jesus on the road to Golgotha and discusses how he may have reacted as a bystander (14:26-16:45). He argues that Jesus tells the bystanders not to weep for Him (16:46-18:50). He relates the weeping of the people at the crucifixion to the weeping in America for racism, homosexuality, and what he believes is sexism in the church (18:51-29:51). The service concludes with a charge for the congregation (29:52-30:21).
