    SEBTS Chapel - William Hull February 26, 1985
    Description:
    Dr. William “Bill” Hull was a New Testament professor, dean, and provost at Southern Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, as well as the pastor of First Baptist Church of Shreveport, Louisiana. The service begins with organ music and a word of prayer (0:00-7:48). William Hull is introduced as the chapel speaker (7:49-9:47). The choir sings a song of worship (9:48-12:06). Hall introduces his sermon by speaking about the familiarity of the Lord’s Prayer and that it tells us not only what to pray but also how to pray (12:07-13:35). Hull’s first point is that the Lord’s Prayer teaches to pray in the imperative (13:36-16:34). Hull’s second point is that the Lord’s Prayer has two parts, the first dominated by the pronouns of deity and the second dominated by “we petitions” (16:35-20:42). Hull’s third point is that the Lord’s Prayer is “to call the realities of heaven into the actualities of time” (20:43-25:28). Hull concludes his sermon by leading the audience in praying the Lord’s Prayer aloud (25:29-26:10).

The speaker reads Psalm 33:8-12 (00:51-01:32). Ginger Smith sings a song (01:33-04:23). Chambliss begins his sermon by speaking of the joy of being on Southeastern’s campus for the summer term (04:24-05:49).

    SEBTS Chapel - Robert H. Culpepper February 21, 1989
    Description:
    Robert H. Culpepper was Professor of Theology. Alan Sasser, pastor of Greystone Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC, is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:15). A hymn is played (0:16-3:53). Psalm 34:1-3 is recited (3:54-4:16). A hymn is played (4:17-6:48). Mark 3:31-35 and 10:28-30 are the Scripture readings (6:49-8:14). A word of prayer is given (8:15-9:20). A male soloist sings a song (9:21-11:49). Dr. Robert H. Culpepper announces that he will be replacing Alan Sasser who is sick and speaks on church life and family (11:50-16:15). Christian life is fellowship with God and family; it is not a life of solitude (16:16-16:29). Dr. Culpepper provides Scriptural basis for the concept of the church being a family of God (16:30-21:26). He recalls his mission family in Japan (21:27-23:48). He then discusses how the church family is responsible for providing life, promoting evangelism, and offering spiritual nourishment (23:49-27:24). The church family also establishes Christian value systems, provides renewal as a refuge, and serves as a place of acceptance (27:25-30:40). Dr. Culpepper reiterates that Christian fellowship is what makes up a church family, allowing the family to share everything together—joys and burdens (30:41-31:27). He gives a story of a lady who had poor hearing, focusing on her statement: “those who have ears to hear let them hear” (31:28-33:38). He ends with the benediction (33:39-34:31).

    SEBTS Page Lecture - Fisher Humphries September 27, 1988
    Description:
    Fisher Humphries was Professor of Theology at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Humphries is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:28). Two hymns are played (0:29-4:37). A word of prayer is given, followed by another hymn (cut) (4:38-6:44). Humphries is introduced (6:45-9:43). Humphries thanks the Seminary for allowing him to speak (9:44-13:27). Based on 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, Humphries’ message concerns sanctification and spiritual formation (13:28-15:51). He provides four examples of believers’ self transcending impulse towards God: freedom, the need to understand, a desire for happiness, and the impulse to love and be loved (15:52-17:44). All these impulses are fulfilled in God, as spiritual formation (17:45-18:33). Humphries states that the best analogy of spiritual formation is one’s influence over another without manipulation (18:34-20:53). He plans to speak on two means of spiritual formation, the church and the Bible; the lecture on the church is for this day’s message while the one on the Bible is for the following day’s message (20:54-23:25). The church is both an institution and a fellowship, but God is more concerned with the people not an organization (23:26-24:53). Humphries explains that the church as an organization consists of people who contribute to spiritual formation and asks whether this is true of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) where opposition exists (24:54-27:23). He discusses Liberal Protestantism, Fundamentalism as a response to the former movement, and finally Evangelicalism which resulted due to the problems of Fundamentalism (27:24-32:42). However, disagreements in the Evangelicalism movement have occurred because it did not plant strong roots (34:43-38:31). Humphries compares the SBC, with its unstable foundation, to this movement; it also needs to strengthen its roots (34:38-38:31). He does say that God has and is using the SBC for spiritual formation despite its flaws, as the church has never been perfect and the church’s mission continues to be performed (38:32-40:19). He reinforces that the church is the people of God and a place of spiritual formation (40:20-42:47). He concludes with a recitation of the scripture reading from 1 Thessalonians (42:48-43:51). A word of prayer is given, and a hymn ends the service (43:16-46:13).
