Dr. Jim Shaddix was senior Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Shaddix begins his sermon by reading from the book of Haggai with a focus on the question, “are you in hot pursuit of the effects and influences of the Holy Spirit in your life? (0:00-4:25). He reads about the time when the prophet Haggai beckons Israel to return to rebuilding the Temple (4:26-6:12). He tells the congregation he is going to address three questions: what is the relevance of this passage, what is the problem presented, and what is the solution? (6:13-6:32). To answer the first question, Shaddix explains that the Temple represents Christ’s presence, the laborers represent us as Christ’s followers, and the laborers’ lack of pursuing the rebuilding of the Temple represents our lack of pursuing the effects of the Holy Spirit in our lives (6:33-13:43). He states that if we presume the experience of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we cannot fully experience the full effects (13:44-14:37). Shaddix then presents the problem, which is that God’s people paused their work (14:38-15:22). Three reasons exist as to why they stopped working that can be applied to why today we presume the effects of the Holy Spirit (15:23-16:01). The first reason is that our enemies deter us from our pursuit (16:02-17:31). The second reason involves being discouraged by the lack of results in our ministry efforts (17:32-19:45). Allowing excess and pursuits of comfort to distract us is the third reason (19:46-22:52). Shaddix provides a three-component solution with the first component involving obeying the Word of God and returning to our work as His laborers (22:53-24:37). The second part of the solution is to fear the discipline of God (24:38-27:54). Rely on the grace of God comprises the third component (27:55-29:44). Shaddix concludes with how the solution can lead to our hot pursuit of the effects of Christ’s presence in our lives (29:45-31:53). He gives a word of prayer (31:54-32:37).

The Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary Catalogs are published by Southeastern Seminary to provide information for each academic year. The earliest catalog was published in 1951. Catalogs were sometimes published in connection to the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary Bulletin and most contain information for one academic year, though some cover multiple years. The catalogs provide an academic calendar and a brief introduction to the seminary, its facilities, and the community. Further information includes curriculum and class offerings, details regarding admissions, and registers of students, faculty, staff, trustees, and graduates. Subcollections for the 1990s and 2000s include CASE catalogs for the college.
