1.SEBTS Missionary Day Address - Charles McMillan September 13, 1988

Descripción:
Charles McMillian was the Director of Missions of the Raleigh Baptist Association. McMillian is announced as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:10). An opening hymn is played (0:11-5:28). The congregation sings a song of worship (cut) (5:29-5:40). Two Scripture passages (the first unknown and the second from 2 Kings 7:1-9) are read followed by a word of prayer (5:41-9:38). The choir sings a song of worship (9:39-12:38). A female missionary is welcomed and McMillian is introduced (12:39-14:48). McMillian begins with a word of gratitude towards SEBTS and its faculty and students (14:49-16:04). He focuses on the increase of a lack of missions, which has led to the disrespect towards ministers and denominational disharmony (16:05-17:37). He defines missions as “what we do in response to God’s commission to us.” (17:38-18:26). McMillian believes in Jesus’ second coming as well as judgment; however, he points out that there is also daily judgment (18:27-19:28). When we fail to prioritize missions, we are already being judged (19:29-19:43). McMillian compares the hopelessness that those in Samaria were experiencing due to a famine in 2 Kings 6 and 7 to today’s society (19:44-23:53). Despite this hopelessness, he mentions that there is good news: the gift of the Gospel (23:54-26:00). As Christians, we must be willing to risk everything to perform our responsibility of sharing this gift with the world (26:01-27:13). McMillian informs that unfortunately a loss of willingness to spread the Gospel has increased (28:38-29:38). He encourages individuals to find a reason to live through missions (29:39-31:04). He strongly states that churches need to make missions their priority and that hesitation leads to loss of missions (31:05-37:11). We must share the good news out of love as is required by the Great Commission (37:12-38:35). McMillian ends his address by comparing the story of not training his dog to the hesitation of not being involved in missions (38:36-41:23). The service concludes with a word of prayer and a hymn (41:25-46:35).
