- Dr. Samuel Eugene Balentine was Associate Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament at SEBTS. A hymn begins the service (0:00-5:11). The congregation sings a hymn (5:12-8:27). The Scripture reading comes from Genesis 22:1-14 and 1 Corinthians 10:13 (8:28-11:37). A word of prayer is given (11:38-12:55). Dr. Samuel Balentine begins with a recount of the story of God testing Abraham on Mt. Moriah (12:26-19:07). Mt. Moriah became the place where God tested and provided (19:08-20:12). Dr. Balentine asks whether we are prepared to encounter the same God who tests and provides (20:13-21:27). Abraham realized that the God, who tests all, also provides for all (21:28-25:11). Jesus demonstrated faith on the Cross at Golgotha (25:12-26:04). Dr. Balentine speaks about how we are “summoned to Mt. Moriah” like Abraham; we are expected to sacrifice everything and have faith in God (26:05:27:34). He concludes with Paul’s words regarding God: He is faithful and helps us to endure our tests (27:35-28:10). A word of prayer is given (28:11-28:35). A hymn ends the service (28:36-31:11).

- Dr. Edwin Luther Copeland was Visiting Professor of Missions at SEBTS. Dr. Copeland is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:09). Hymns are played (0:10-9:54). A word of prayer is followed by a hymn (cut) (9:55-11:33). President Lewis Drummond greets the congregation, welcomes new students, and presents Carson Grissom to bestow the Middler Theological Award (11:34-17:17). Grissom confers the award (17:18-18:25). President Drummond congratulates the student and presents Dr. George Braswell (18:26-19:12). Dr. Braswell introduces Dr. Copeland (19:13-23:15). Dr. Braswell reads Colossians 1:15-23 for Dr. Copeland’s sermon (23:16-24:41). Dr. Copeland is honored to speak for Spring Convocation (24:42-26:26). His sermon focuses on the centrality of the unitive mission of Christ to theological education (26:27-27:58). He defines the Seminary as the intellectual center of the church and theological education as intellectual thinking and researching of the life and work of the church (27:59-30:02). Dr. Copeland discusses that “the unitive mission of Christ is matched by the unitive intellectual mission of theological education (30:03-31:23). He then speaks on three areas where the unitive mission of Christ intersects with the unitive mission of theological education: Western secular culture, religious pluralism (awareness of other religions), and the inner division of Christianity (31:24-47:23). Dr. Copeland speaks of the action needed in the intellectual centers of the church so that the unitive mission of Christ can be executed (47:24-47:58). He concludes with a final word on these three challenges and with encouragement to do our best to fulfill the unitive mission of Christ (47:59-49:21). President Drummond gives a word of prayer (49:22-50:13). A hymn ends the service (50:14-53:56).
