The graduation service begins with the reading of Scripture which is also used as Dr. Elizabeth B. Barnes's source text from 0:00-3:58. The passages of Scripture were Isaiah 6:1-8, 61:1-3, and Luke 4:14-21. Dr. Barnes, Associate Professor of Theology, gives her address from 4:06-24:13. She tells the senior class that God wishes to use them to spread the Gospel as they depart from the seminary. She encourages them to honor God by helping the oppressed and living a Gospel-based lifestyle. Dr. Barnes notes that Jesus will help them as they go out and begin living a missional life. The audio was transferred from audio cassette.
