- Description:
- The service begins with a reading (00:00-00:53) and a prayer (00:54-05:04). Another short prayer follows by John E. Davis (05:05-05:22). No introduction was given for the speaker, John E. Davis, but he was a student at SEBTS. He outlines two presuppositions of seminary education (05:23-06:02). First, the questions we are raising at SEBTS are but hollow and intellectual gymnastics if they are foreign to the common man’s questions (06:03-13:49). Second, the gospel is a totally consuming dynamic and not a moral philosophy nor a legal code (13:50-23:53). He quotes Philippians 3:12-16 (23:54-24:46), and he ends his time in prayer (24:47-25:24).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 65:4 (00:00-00:20) and prayer (00:21-02:32). Dr. Lovelace introduces the speaker, John T. Bunn, who was the Chairman of the Bible Department at Campbell College in North Carolina (02:33-03:16). He begins by reading Luke 4:16-19 (03:17-04:39). He transitions to speak about the internal weakness of many modern churches and their revitalization through “unlimited substitution” (04:40-09:20). This has come to be because plans, promotions, and organizations have been the exclusive tools for such a revitalization rather than the proclamation of the Word of God from the pulpit (09:21-11:52). The proper place of preaching for the minister and in the life of the church is discussed next (11:53-21:22). He then answers the question, “What will be our primary task or the center of our attention in ministry?” (21:23-26:25). He ends his time in prayer (26:26-27:37).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 67:1-3 as a prayer (00:00-00:36). From SEBTS’s graduates, a list of homebound missionaries is read (00:37-01:52) along with a list of foreign missionaries (01:53-05:23) and missionaries currently studying at the SEBTS campus (05:24-07:00). A prayer is offered to God for these missionaries (07:01-13:39). An introduction for the service’s testimony by Charles Wiggs is given (13:40-15:37). He then shares his testimony (15:38-21:44). An introduction for five more testimonial reports is given (21:45-23:22), first by Bill Hern (23:23-25:56), second by Robert Lindsey (25:57-32:14), third by Robert Fielden (32:15-35:29), fourth by Harry Raley (35:30-37:54), and fifth by Gene Phillips (37:55-39:46). Concluding words reinforce the seminary’s belief that every Christian is called into full-time ministry, while others profess a specific calling into vocational ministry or missionary work (39:47-42:55). A closing hymn (42:56-46:11), a benediction (46:12-47:20), and singing ends the service (47:21-47:39).

- Description:
- The service begins with prayer (00:00-03:49). A welcome and recognition of certain people from the Women’s Missionary Union (WMU) are given (03:50-05:39), and the speaker, Dr. Baker James Cauthen, is welcomed and introduced (05:40-08:06). He was the Executive Director of the Foreign Mission Board (now the International Mission Board). The service continues with choral singing (08:07-09:56). He begins by reminding the congregation of the seminary’s missional purpose from its inception and its level place among the other five seminaries (09:57-13:35). He stresses that the central theme of missions is seeking God in prayer (13:36-19:06). The Scripture text for the sermon is 2 Corinthians 5:18-19, entitled “the Ministry of Reconciliation” (19:07-20:55). Man’s basic need is to be reconciled to God, and we ought to leverage our means which we spend on buildings and programs to advance the gospel to the nations (20:56-34:57). He asks those in the congregation to consider their service to God as extending far instead of staying near, affirming God does call His people to both realms (34:58-53:18). He ends his message by talking about the seriousness of viewing oneself as a missionary, both near and far away (53:19-1:03:11).

- Description:
- The service begins with prayer (00:00-02:53). Polite opening words are spoken before a brief history of the seminary is given, focusing on the influence of a seminary’s correct teaching, spirit, and view of God (02:54-07:13). He then focuses on what part everyone can play in the continuation of a seminary’s influence, from students to trustees (07:14-11:08). An introduction is given for the speaker, Trustee J. Glenn Blackburn (11:09-12:22). He begins with his reflections of the inception of the seminary until then (10 years’ time) (12:23-22:04). He labeled the motives, manner, and meaning/purpose of the seminary to be according to the love mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 22:37-29 (22:05-32:47). He concludes by stressing again that the continuing spirit of the seminary must be a fervent love for God and for others, if the seminary will continue to amount to anything truly important and lasting (32:48-38:58). The service closes in prayer (38:59-39:49).

- Description:
- The service begins with prayer (00:00-01:18), and 2 Corinthians 4:1-15 is read aloud before praying again (01:19-06:19). Dr. Miller, the Dean of Harvard Divinity School, is introduced according to his educational, ministerial, and working background. The title of his message is “Faith Beyond Conformity” (06:20-08:18). Dr. Miller begins by talking about the importance and rarity of actually living in your own epoch instead of trying to keep another epoch alive outside of its time (08:19-19:32). He mentions that three recent breakthroughs in the history of humanity have expanded the reach of human sin: spacial (interstellar) exploration and great power, a deep exploration of the human’s life (psychology), and the new creation of a world order via science, industry, and transportation. He mentions these because it is the task of the openness of faith to unite the inner man with the outer environment so that the two are integrated in meaning (19:33-26:45). The Christian Faith in man is complex, and it must continually respond to the questions raised against it by each epoch’s key figures; to be faithful to the first century but to deny the needs of one’s own century is indeed not Christian at all (26:46-35:55). The Christian Faith reconciles honest contradictions into beautiful unity through reconciliation and atonement (to save life is to lose it, and to lose life now is to save it) (35:56-47:29). The service closes with the reading of Ephesians 3:20-21 (47:30-48:03).

- Description:
- The first and fourth stanzas of the hymn “Come, Thou Almighty King” is prayed over the congregation at the tenth convocation of the seminary’s existence (00:00-00:42). President Sydnor Lorenzo Stealey introduces Dr. Miller concerning his educational, ministerial, and working background; he was the Dean of Harvard Divinity School (00:43-05:29). Dr. Miller’s sermon title is “Souls Threshed from their Husks,” a phrase taken from William Blake’s work. He believes the prime urgency of the ministry of the twentieth century is to be a well-founded, unconfused person, since many are confused as to what this means. Such a man, through theological integration, has been stripped of the world’s illusions and understands true personhood in Christ (05:30-22:16). We must live “at the growing edge redemptively” – the edge where God’s revelations come to life in difficult moments when sometimes words fail to pass from our lips (22:17-37:52). The crises of our lives force us to answer for ourselves what we think, feel, or believe alone before God, and these moments are what God uses to thresh our souls from their husks over our lifetimes (37:53-41:44).

After this Scripture reading, Dr. Stewart Albert Newman, Professor of Theology and Philosophy of Religion, is introduced to bring the faculty’s charge to those graduating (08:41-09:54). He says that students have been equipped with two main tools to be reasonably successful: a structure of accurate and well-ordered knowledge, and a right spirit or motives (09:55-15:52). One last word of admonition is given, namely that they would not lose sight of their spirits in the rushing of events and the busyness and stress of ministry. He exhorts the graduates to blend their knowledge with this right spirit which honors God (15:53-25:12). A closing prayer is offered (25:13-25:40).
