- Gregory T. Headen was the President of Shaw University Divinity School in Raleigh, NC. Headen is announced as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:10). An opening hymn is played (0:11-3:56). The congregation sings a song of worship (cut) (3:57-4:24). Headen is introduced (4:25-5:49). Habakkuk 2:1-4 is the day’s Scripture reading and a word of prayer is given (5:50-8:08). Another hymn is played (cut) (8:09-8:12). Headen praises Jesus and shows gratitude towards SEBTS (8:13-10:47). His sermon focuses on “the audacity of preaching” in the book of Habakkuk (10:48-12:48). He asks the question: why does God let His servants suffer (12:49-14:07)? In Habakkuk, Headen states that God’s answer is that He has a vision/purpose for His actions and that His followers are to write the vision plainly (14:08-19:14). Headen speaks of the vision God has revealed to him as one involving all people to be one in Christ (19:15-20:40). God can fulfill such visions, but we must be patient and not give up on these visions as they will only come to past in God’s time (20:41-23:06). Headen discusses two problems: 1) those who are too busy “being God” lose hope and faith and 2) the struggle of who receives the right vision (23:07-26:10). He concludes with urging the congregation to write the vision clearly and wait for it to happen when God commands it to happen (26:11-28:38). The sermon ends with Headen’s prayer and the benediction (28:39-29:36).

- E. Glenn Hinson was a professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. The service begins with organ music (0:00-2:24). There is a word of prayer (2:25-4:22). E. Glenn Hinson is introduced as the chapel speaker (4:23-6:58). An anthem is sung by the choir (6:59-9:20). Hinson directs the attention of the congregation to II Corinthians 12:1-10 and reads his personal translation (9:21-12:08). Hinson recounts how he turns to hope found within Scripture to cope with difficult times and circumstances (12:09-14:28). He explains that sometimes people blame God for the trying times and circumstances one faces (14:29-16:00). Hinson speaks about how people flippantly attribute bad things to God’s will, and he believes that idea comes from John Calvin’s view that everything has been predestined by God (16:01-17:24). But he gives the idea that Paul does not think that way in this passage, rather attributing the bad things of life to the work of the devil (17:25- 20:30). Hinson explains how science and technology, human toil has been eased, which causes people to seek external solutions for every problem, which is a deception and dulls the effects of sin (20:31-26:37). He shares how he personally found God’s grace and love in his own trials to illustrate that people should seek that amid human weakness (26:38-32:24). He closes the service in a word of prayer (32:25-33:44).
