- Description:
- Dr. John Keating Wiles was Assistant Professor of Old Testament at SEBTS. Dr. Wiles is announced as Chapel speaker (poor quality) (0:00-0:31). A hymn is played (cut) (0:32-2:44). Psalm 51:10-13 is read (2:45-3:15). The choir sings a hymn (3:16-6:47). Another Scripture reading comes from Isaiah 32:9-20 (6:48-8:46). Prayer requests are made (8:47-9:54). A word of prayer is given (9:55-11:50). Dr. Wiles speaks of how Isaiah addresses the women of Israel and tells them to mourn for the upcoming changes of their world (11:51-16:00). He emphases the difference between kings and prophets: kings do not call people to mourn when encountering changes, instead they instruct the people to forget the past, ignore the present, and look on the positive side (16:01-16:35). Kings use the managerial approach in life which focuses on statistics and budgets (16:36-18:24). Dr. Wiles discusses how prophets provide words of realism when they call people to live and die in a world that changes (18:25-21:14). Whereas kings and managers depend on continuity and do not expect real change, prophets realize that every historical world has an end and that God is in control (21:15-23:50). Dr. Wiles explains that kings and managers believe that their worlds will last forever (23:51-25:16). When God’s spirit pours out to end the mourning, fruitfulness will abide in the new world (25:17-26:44). Self-absorbed kings and managers do not know this kind of new world because they live in a fantasy world, not a historical world of change (26:45-27:57). Dr. Wiles concludes with a word on how we must not follow the managerial approach to life; we must allow the pouring out of God’s spirit to give us hope for a new world during our mourning (27:58-29:35). A word of prayer is given (29:36-29:54). Two hymns end the service (29:36-32:59).

- Description:
- 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).

- Leonard Farrar, an M. Div. student at SEBTS, was pastor of Wake Baptist Grove Church in Garner, NC. Farrar is announced as Chapel speaker with a message titled “A Cause for Celebration, Martin Luther King Day” (0:00-0:19). A word of prayer is given (0:19-2:50). A woman gives a testimony of personal trials (2:51-5:42). Martin Luther King, Jr. quotes on racism, worship, and religion are provided in King’s honor (5:43-8:57). James W. Johnson’s poem “Let My People Go” is recited (8:58-12:16). Farrar is introduced (12:17-13:54). Farrar honors Jesus as his Lord and Savior as well as expresses gratitude towards the Seminary’s faculty and staff (13:55-15:00). He speaks of Martin Luther King being not only a Civil Rights leader, but also a prophet of a utopian vision (15:01-17:26). Farrar discusses the need of social justice and brotherhood within the world and the Christian community (17:27-19:39). He provides examples of social justice in the biblical books of Amos, Isaiah, and Micah (19:40-21:28). Voices must be used to promote social justice (21:29-24:03). The prophets Nathan, Elijah, Malachi, and John voiced God’s words (24:04-25:06). Farrar concludes with mentioning that with God, we can create a land of hope if we use love as a motivation and guide (25:07-29:05). Farrar’s message is praised (cut) (29:06-29:07). A word of prayer is given (29:08-29:27). A hymn ends the service (29:28-31:50).

- 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).

Micah 6:1-8 and Philippians 2:5-11 are the Scripture readings for the day (40:41-44:22). Two gifts are presented: a scholarship fund to seniors and the Wake County Chapter for Habitat for Humanity (44:23-45:03). President Drummond accepts the gifts (45:04-45:23). Hawn instructs the graduates “to do justice, love tenderly, and walk humbly with God” as a “basis for a covenant ministry” (45:24-52:45). Using the reading from the book of Micah, Hawn discusses that doing justice, loving tenderly, and walking humbly with God must be seen as one; they cannot be separate (52:46-1:00:42). Hawn then speaks on the hope found in Jesus, which the graduates must give to the world (1:00:43-1:01:47). He ends with mentioning how the Quakers perform all three (doing justice, loving tenderly, and walking humbly with God) and sings a Quaker hymn (1:01:48-1:05:16).

- Richard Gene Puckett was the editor of the Biblical Recorder. Puckett is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:12). A hymn is played (0:13-4:51). A word of prayer is followed by a hymn (cut) (4:52-6:05). Puckett is introduced (6:06-8:02). Puckett thanks Southeastern’s students and faculty (8:03-9:03). His lecture, “State Baptist Papers: Reflectors of the Crises,” focuses on how printed papers are better records of current events (9:04-10:00). He summarizes his lecture from the day before: he explains that the lecture dealt with the history of U.S. Baptist missions with a specific focus on the Judsons and Luther Rice and the creation of the Triennial Convention, the Southern Baptist Convention, and state conventions (10:01-10:20). Puckett expresses that documents exist that inform us of what truly happened during the birth of Baptist missions and that Baptist papers mirror these events (10:21-11:39). He chooses ten crises to prove this point, with the first crisis being the mission vs. anti-mission movements of the nineteenth century (11:40-11:59). These movements resulted due to the conflict between general atonement (Arminian theology) and particular atonement (Calvinistic theology) (12:00-12:55). Puckett reveals that Baptist papers reflected this conflict in Maryland (12:56-15:49). The second crisis involved the founding of the Southern Baptist Convention by the Virginia Mission Society which became a large highlight in Baptist papers (15:50-16:24). The third crisis is the Campbellite and Landmark movements, with the former movement involving Alexander Campbell and his view on baptism (16:25-17:15). Biblical Recorder editor Thomas Meredith recorded the errors of this movement (17:16-18:58). Puckett then explains that the Landmark movement viewed its church as the only valid church in accordance with New Testament truth and made an appearances in the Tennessee Baptist Paper and the Kentucky Western Baptist Review (18:59-20:48). The fourth crisis, with which the Kentucky Western Recorder highly involved, was the Witsitt controversy over whether Baptists could be traced back to Jesus’ time (20:49-23:45). Fundamentalism vs. Modernism was the fifth crisis that became popular in Baptist publications, specifically the Oklahoma Baptist Messenger (23:46-27:33). Puckett’s sixth crisis is the Baptist westward movement: some believed that these Baptists were not true Baptists with Reuben Ally, editor of the Virginia Religious Herald, being a strong voice of the conflict (27:34-29:11). Crisis seven is the Southern Baptist Seminary conflict that occurred due to a disagreement between the president and faculty and appeared in multiple papers such as the Kentucky Western Recorder and the Christian Index (29:12-33:16). The Elliot controversy at Mid-Western Seminary also found its way in Baptist papers, with E.S. James, editor of the Texas Baptist Standard leading the way (33:17-36:02). Puckett’s ninth crisis is the struggle of power, especially within the Southern Baptist Convention concerning the presidential position, and he conveys that this crisis caused many papers to suffer as they attempted to record the facts (36:03-38:23). The final crisis is one that occurred at Southeastern and was accurately and completely recorded by the Biblical Recorder (38:24-40:14). Puckett speaks on the problems of editing and recording, focusing on how writers never have complete freedom of words and on how they must strive to record truthfully, yet fairly (40:15-50:54). He then closes with saying that the Baptist mission of the world depends on education and information (52:59-53:59). Puckett is thanked and the congregation is informed that he will be in the Ledford Center for further discussions (52:59-53:59). A word of prayer ends the event (54:00-54:23).

- Richard Gene Puckett was the editor of the Biblical Recorder. Puckett is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:08). A hymn is played (0:09-3:36). A word of prayer is followed by a hymn (cut) (3:37-5:28). The congregation is welcomed, and Puckett is introduced (5:29-10:10). Puckett begins with why he accepted to speak in chapel and offers a testimony (10:11-16:04). He speaks of the necessity of education in order for Baptists to effectively witness and conduct their ministry, with a focus on the birth of Baptist missions (16:05-16:40). He discusses the establishment of the Baptist Triennial Convention as well as the work of the Judsons and Luther Rice (16:41-31:40). Luther Rice’s model at the Columbian College in Washington D.C. led to the births of Baptist publications, conventions, and colleges that made up the foundation of the Southern Baptist Convention (31:41-34:40). Puckett highlights that Northern Baptists began taking over in the Triennial Convention and that a conflict over slavery issued (34:41-42:40). He then speaks of the NC Baptist Association and its founders: Thomas Meredith, editor of the Biblical Recorder, and Samuel Wait, the first president of Wake Forest College (42:41-46:41). He closes his lecture by expressing that conflicts still exist, yet God still remains and the Gospel continues to be preached (46:40-48:36). The announcement of Puckett’s second lecture is made and the congregation is informed that Puckett will be in the Ledford Center for further discussions (48:37-49:12). A word of prayer ends the event (49:13-49:34).

- Fred Allen Grissom was SEBTS Associate Professor of Church History. Grissom is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:10). Hymns are played (0:11-7:59). A word of prayer is given (8:00-8:59). Grissom’s lecture is greatly anticipated (8:40-9:06). Grissom begins with Scripture reading from Matthew 7:3-5 (9:07-9:45). He states that this is his first faculty address and that he plans to discuss the importance of studying history with a focus on how culture influences biblical interpretation (9:46-15:59). He expresses that cultural norms lead to different interpretations, using the literal interpretation of men not trimming their beards in the book of Leviticus as an example (16:00-19:20). Grissom further discusses that Christians believe that cultural norms are reflected in the Bible as well as that their institutions are sanctioned in the Bible (19:21-19:57). He uses the examples of the sanctioning of slavery and segregation to come to the argument that biblical interpretations are influenced by the culture of the interpreter (19:58-26:46). He then provides an analogy to prove that this argument is true even in present society: we all have culture filtered “glasses” (26:47-29:26). We have different filters, yet we all filter biblical revelations that we identify with on a personal level (29:27-33:08). Our glasses affect our applications of the affirmations about the Bible (33:09-35:43). Grissom conveys that we go so far as to deny culture’s influence, and thus our filters become blinders that lead to our interpretations becoming absolute and our creation of God in our own image (35:44-37:47). To combat these blinders, Grissom provides four steps: 1) to become more aware of the presuppositions at the foundation of our cultural complex, 2) to see through different “glasses,” 3) to expand our vision further by listening to those of even different cultures, and 4) to study the languages of others in order to better understand the meaning of their words (37:48-40:04). He concludes with urging everyone to learn as much about our culture and other people’s cultures from the present and past so that the Bible is not misinterpreted (40:05-41:34).

- Description:
- Taylor Clarence Smith was Visiting Professor of New Testament. Smith is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:08). A hymn is played (0:09-5:11). A word of prayer is followed by a hymn (cut) (5:12-6:52). Colossians 2:16-23 is the Scripture reading (6:53-8:34). The choir sings a song of worship (8:35-12:11). Smith begins his sermon by quoting from the books of Micah, Hosea, Psalms, and Matthew, focusing on Christians worshipping in shadows (12:12-16:18). Using the Scripture reading from Colossians, he emphasizes the Colossians’ integration of astral religion with the Christian faith (16:19-17:29). Smith explains that we have shadows, similar to the Jews’ shadows of worship of the altar and of the law (17:30-17:59). He lists several of these shadows, with the first one being the shadow of the manipulation of God—we use Him for our own advantages (18:00-24:01). Another shadow is one of admiration: instead of following Jesus’ teachings, we just admire and praise Him for His works (24:02-27:16). A third shadow is Bible worship, which involves those who “read” the Bible, but do not fully understand it or they place their own understandings on the Scriptures (27:17-27:48). This shadow leads to the belief that the Bible is God and just as the Pharisees, we can hide God behind the legalism of the Bible (27:49-30:52). Smith expresses that worshipping God is an encounter with a person not a book, and hence we should desire to turn away from worshipping God in the shadows (30:53-33:32). A word of prayer closes the sermon (33:32-33:59).

- Warren T. Carr was Visiting Professor of Preaching. Carr is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:08). A hymn is played followed by a word of prayer (0:09-4:48). A hymn is played (cut) (4:49-4:54). A prayer list is given, followed by a word of prayer (4:55-9:04). Carr is introduced (9:05-10:50). The choir sings a song of worship (10:51-13:43). Carr reads from Isaiah 6 and Romans 10 (13:44-16:28). He speaks about Isaiah seeking the job of a prophet when it was hard to find prophets in good times (16:29-19:52). Perhaps Isaiah accepted the job because he took God and himself seriously, and he let his lips be cleansed from using God’s name in vain (19:53-22:47). Carr explains that if you take God and yourself seriously, so will others: this seriousness is required for those entering the ministry (22:48-33:30). The service closes with a word of prayer (33:31-34:00).

- Albert L. Meiburg was SEBTS Professor of Pastoral Theology. Meiburg is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:09). A hymn is played (0:10-2:17). Scripture is read, with the second reading from 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 (2:18-5:00). A word of prayer is followed by the choir singing a song of worship (5:01-10:40). Meiburg begins his sermon with a focus on dreams and how they can both define and confine us (10:41-15:11). He presents the question: can we learn and grow from the pain of a dream that dies? (15:12-16:48). He reads the story of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24 who had their hope of a king coming to restore Israel die (16:49-19:09). Meiburg explains that the disciples experience a four-stage process, with the first stage being the failure of the dream (19:10-19:43). The next stage is the search for meaning/grief’s slow wisdom: this stage involves the slow process of us opening up to what God says during this grievous time just as the disciples did as they talked to Jesus on the road to Emmaus (19:44-21:13). Meiburg reveals the third stage as the illuminating presence, when the disciples’ eyes were opened and discovered new truths (Jesus being resurrected) (21:14-22:49). The response of action is the final stage, marked by the disciples’ sudden return to Jerusalem to see the other disciples (22:50-23:41). Meiburg ends by reinforcing that when a dream dies, we must seek new truths and act in faith (23:42-27:44). The service closes with a benediction (27:45-28:22).

- Craig S Troutman was the pastor of the Raleigh Moravian Church. The day’s date is confirmed (the rest is cut) (0:00-0:12). A hymn is played followed by a word of prayer (0:13-3:42). Craig Troutman reads part of the Christmas story from the book of Luke (3:43-5:57). He then introduces himself, greets the congregation, and announces that they will be participating in the Moravian love feast in preparation for Christmas (5:58-7:10). A hymn is played (cut) (7:11-7:13). Troutman explains the Moravian love feast with emphasis on joy and unity as a community of God (7:14-9:14). The Moravian prayer is recited before the congregation takes part in the feast (9:15-9:25). A hymn is played followed by another hymn sung by the choir (9:26-16:22). Troutman provides a brief history of the Moravian tradition of lighting candles, focusing on light coming into a world of darkness (16:23-19:28). He explains how the congregation is supposed to participate in the singing of two hymns followed by the singing of another hymn (cut) (19:29-20:26).

- Elizabeth B. Barnes was SEBTS Assistant Professor of Theology. Barnes is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:08). A hymn is played (0:09-4:18). The choir sings a song of worship (4:19-7:09). A hymn is played (cut) followed by a word of prayer (7:10-8:51). There is Scripture reading from Psalm 51:1-2, Matthew 18:21-22, and Colossians 3:12-15a (8:52-10:30). A soloist sings (10:31-15:57). Psalm 1:10-12 is the day’s words of assurance (15:58-16:49). Barnes focuses on forgiveness as the greatest form of love (16:50-17:52). She speaks of the theme of forgiveness in John Steinbeck’s East of Eden (17:53-20:20). We can only forgive truly when we understand God’s forgiveness and receive His forgiveness (20:21-20:41). Barnes discusses five characteristics of God’s forgiveness: it is genuine, social, extravagant, restorative, and receptive (20:42-21:20). First, God forgives us for genuine injuries against Him and others, and He forgives completely (21:21-22:22). Second, God’s forgiveness is social as it is for all people, and we are to mimic this forgiveness to others as well (22:23-24:38). Third, God forgives extravagantly just as the father did to his son in the parable of the prodigal son (24:39-26:13). Fourth, God’s forgiveness restores people through the resurrected Christ by making them His new sons and daughters (26:14-27:27). Fifth, God’s forgiveness is receptive: just as we receive His forgiveness, He receives our acceptance to His call to ministry (27:28-30:34). Barnes returns to East of Eden to explain that “the forgiven is dialogically related to the forgiver” (30:35-32:10). She conveys that both the forgiven and the forgiver receive something in return when these five characteristics of forgiveness, which represent God’s love and our love for one another, are displayed (32:11-32:46). The choir sings another song of worship (32:47-36:39). The congregation is told to go with their “words made holy” (36:40-36:51).

- Leon Smith was the pastor of First Baptist Church in Goldsboro, NC and the President of the NC Baptist State Convention. Smith is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:12). A hymn is played (0:13-7:32). A word of prayer is followed by another hymn (cut) (7:33-8:40). Smith is introduced (8:41-10:43). He thanks SEBTS for allowing him to speak (10:44-11:46). He begins with reading the story of the Samaritan woman at the well from John 4 (11:47-16:03). Smith speaks of how uncommon things reveal new truths, such as the story of the woman at the well (16:04-17:26). First, he highlights the story’s unusual scene: a Jew traveling in Samaria, a woman drawing water at mid-day, and a Jewish man speaking to a Samaritan woman (17:27-19:27). Jesus made His uncommon encounter common for His ministry by not judging someone by their race or gender as He has called all to be saved and to serve Him (19:28-21:50). Second, Smith delves into the unexpected conversation that begins in the physical realm with Jesus asking for a drink of water and transitions onto a more spiritual level with Jesus offering the woman His water of life (21:51-25:02). Third, Smith recognizes the woman’s unfulfilled life as she had had five husbands; her brokenness represents today’s relationships (25:03-26:44). Last, he speaks of the story’s uncommon joy, focusing on the woman’s realization that Jesus was the Christ who had come to save all (26:45-28:46). This uncommon joy is a result of the redemption made possible by Jesus who accepts all, despite their sins (28:47-29:34). Smith ends his message with comparing Jesus to a bridge since He is the one who connects us to God through His sacrifice (29:35-31:51). A word of prayer closes the service (31:52-32:40).

- Thomas Furman Hewitt was Professor of Christian Ethics. C. Michael Hawn was Professor of Church Music (these two names were not announced in the recording, but were in the description section). The service begins (abruptly) with a recitation regarding the saints of God (0:00-0:40). A prayer of confession follows (0:41-1:41). A statement is given concerning how nothing can separate us in Christ (1:42-2:11). The choir sings a song of worship (2:12-5:52). Scripture reading is taken from the books of Revelation, Colossians, and John (5:53-9:26). Another song is sung (9:27-10:07). An affirmation of faith is recited followed by a word of prayer (10:08-14:28). The Chapel speaker begins his message by recounting the correspondence between a German professor and soldier during World War II on All Saint’s Day with a focus on death as the enemy (14:29-18:14). He explains that Christians are assured that death is not the end, evident by the celebration of All Saint’s Day—a day commemorating those already living in Jesus’ resurrected presence (18:15-19:32). Our personal fellowship with God gives us hope and assurance that death has no power (19:33-21:33). The speaker conveys that Jesus destroyed the power of death so that it cannot separate us from God, as he quotes the writer of Hebrews (21:34-23:51). He returns to his account of the German professor and the soldier to reinforce that in Christ we can overcome death (23:52-26:22). The choir sings another song of worship (26:23-28:28). The service ends with a prayer of commemoration and commitment (28:29-30:47).

The choir sings a song of worship (3:56-8:26). More singing commences after an explanation is given on how the congregation is supposed to join the choir (8:27-19:00). There is a moment of silence (19:01-1958). Scripture reading is provided from the book of Joel (19:59-21:17). Psalm 23 is sung (21:18-24:54). Additional Scripture reading is from the book of Matthew (24:55-27:02). Clemmons speaks of John Shay’s book The Spirit Master and focuses on how Jesus shares His Spirit with believers by engaging with them on a personal level (27:03-33:41). He then asks the congregation to reflect on his words as the choir begins to sing (33:42-38:26). Clemmons gives a word of prayer (38:27-39:37).

- Robert D. Dale was SEBTS Academic Coordinator and Professor of Pastoral Leadership and Church Ministries. Dr. Dale is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:08). A hymn is played (0:09-3:27). The choir sings a song of worship (3:28-6:21). Another hymn is played (cut) (6:22-7:19). A word of prayer is followed by Scripture reading from John 2:1-11 (7:20-9:42). Dr. Dale focuses on the Scripture reading and asks the question: why did John decide to show the beginning of Jesus’ ministry at a marriage party in Cana? (9:43-11:46). He explains that Jesus was trying to teach His disciples that following Him meant a life of joy, just as one experiences joy at a party (11:47-12:59). Joy is the proof of faith: Christianity ultimately is a lifestyle of joy (13:00-23:21). Dr. Dale speaks about how life is a burden without Jesus and how joy, once we become followers of Jesus, can become our witness that draws others to Him (23:22-25:26). He then explains that these verses are relevant due to the American culture reducing joy to fun and the conflicts that were occurring in the Southern Baptist Convention at the time (25:27-27:31). He closes his sermon with telling the congregation to “claim the joy of Christ and share it” (27:32-27:41). A word of prayer is given (27:42-28:04).

- Edwin Luther Copeland was Visiting Professor of Missions. A call to remember certain members is made (0:00-1:18). A word of prayer is followed by a hymn (cut) (1:19-3:25). Dr. Copeland is introduced (3:26-8:43). An anthem is sung (8:44-11:28). The Scripture reading is from Luke 10 (11:29-13:18). Dr. Copeland begins his sermon with recounting the sending out of the seventy to spread the Gospel to the Gentile world and how they received the power to liberate evil (13:19-16:58). However, Jesus informs us not to rejoice over having the power over demonic sources (16:59-17:27). Dr. Copeland explains that rejoicing over these victories can lead to pride, conceit, and arrogance, which can ultimately lead to the manipulation of people (17:28-17:50). He further states that succumbing to such arrogance of power means joining the enemy (17:51-19:15). He mentions that because we are not always victorious over evil, we should not make victories a source of rejoicing (19:16-20:15). Though Jesus said nothing can hurt us, we can still experience the power of the enemy and defeat (20:16-22:06). Dr. Copeland quotes Charles W. Ransom, regarding not allowing others to dissuade you from the call of ministry (22:07-25:31). He expresses that we should rejoice that we are saved and that we are spreading the Word (25:32-26:19). The Word is our drink, food, air, and life and it should bring us joy (26:20-27:01). A word of prayer closes the service (27:02-27:25).

- Chevis F. Horne was Visiting Professor of Preaching. Dr. Horne is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:16). A hymn is played (0:17-2:41). The choir sings an anthem (2:42-3:32). A word of prayer is followed by another hymn (cut) (3:33-5:35). The Scripture reading is Matthew 25:31-46 (5:36-8:18). The choir sings a song of worship (8:19-11:06). Dr. Horne focuses on the Scripture reading in his message, titled “Surprised by Judgment,” with an emphasis on Jesus as a servant and as a King (11:07-14:15). He finds it surprising how Jesus identified Himself as a servant on earth despite His place on the right hand of God, a place of honor and power (14:16-15:16). He is further surprised at how many poor people there are in the world whose presence he cannot escape now or at the time of Judgment (15:17-18:17). Dr. Horne talks of his surprise of the social questions that will be asked on the day of Judgment (18:18-20:30). He then discusses that believers are truly saved by grace and display graciousness in their lives (20:31-21:43). He also is surprised by Jesus identifying Himself with the poor: their pain is His pain (21:44-26:24). Dr. Horne hopes that those who are going to be pastors would “love, care for, minister for, and identify with their people” (26:25-27:05). He closes with a word of prayer (27:08-27:47). A hymn ends the service (27:48-30:10).

Another hymn is played (cut) (5:23-5:30). The prayer of Francis of Assisi is recited as a model of servitude (5:31-6:56). 1 Samuel 3:9-11 and Mark 9:33-35 are read (6:57-10:13). Parrish speaks on God’s call to all to servitude; either small or large tasks ultimately serve God (10:14-13:33). With a strong emphasis on serving one another, Parrish requests everyone to accept a cup of water and pass their cups to their neighbors to drink (13:34-15:08). Additional discussion on servitude is conducted before a hymn is sung (cut) (15:09-17:53). The benediction is given (17:54-18:29).

- Robert H. Culpepper was Professor of Theology at SEBTS. Culpepper is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:07). A hymn is played (0:08-5:11). A word of prayer is followed by Scripture reading from Ephesians 2:11-18 (5:12-9:19). The choir sings a song of worship (9:20-12:27). Culpepper speaks on prayer to the Father through Jesus the Son in the Spirit, focusing on Ephesians 2:18 (12:28-14:51). He expresses that we need to remember to whom our prayers are addressed: to God as the Father, which is a dominate image of God (14:52-17:00). To address God as “Father” is to recognize Him in a personal, accessible, and intimate relationship, not necessarily to identify Him as male (17:01-21:15). Culpepper then discusses that we need to understand God’s holiness and thus approach Him with reverence and awe (21:16-22:07). Despite our sinfulness, we can come to God through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus and through the Holy Spirit when we conform to God’s will (22:08-28:47). Jesus serves as our model of prayer and ultimately, the Holy Spirit makes us want to pray and teaches us how to pray (28:48-32:13). Culpepper closes with saying that Christian prayer, through Jesus and empowered by the Holy Spirit, is directed to one who is concerned about us (32:14-33:56). The benediction is given (32:44-33:56).

- Dr. L. Keith Harper was Professor of Baptist Studies. Dr. Daniel Akin offers a word of welcome and provides the school’s mission (0:00-0:35). Dr. Harper begins his sermon by reading from Philippians 3:1-14 (0:36-3:17). He explains that the main theme of Philippians is the sufficiency of Christ (3:18-5:02). He separates the Scripture reading into three parts: Paul’s warning (verses 1-6), what Paul wanted more than anything else (verses 7-11), and Paul’s confession (12-14) (5:03-5:27). In verses 1-6, Paul warns his readers of the enemies of the cross who place the law above faith and warns them of themselves (5:28-13:01). Reading from verses 7-11, Dr. Harper discusses Paul’s desire to know Christ better after his conversion on the road to Damascus and illustrates that Paul’s greatest gain was losing his old life (13:02-25:38). Dr. Harper presents Paul’s confession in verses 12-14: Paul is continuing to run the race for the glory of God (25:39-29:58). He then provides a quote from J.I. Packer’s “Knowing God” and expresses his wish that all believers would seek a deeper understanding of God (29:59-34:08). He concludes his sermon with a prayer (34:09-34:46). Dr. Akin gives a final word (34:47-35:50).

- Dr. L. Keith Harper was Professor of Baptist Studies. Dr. Harper thanks the musicians and explains that he will be focusing on the doctrine of baptism presented in Matthew 3:13-17 (0:00-1:48). He then reads the verses in Matthew (1:49-2:35). He speaks about how the definition of baptism has greatly shaped the identity of Baptists, but it has also led to many controversies (2:36-3:34). Dr. Harper reveals that there are three elements of Scriptural baptism: Jesus as a consecrated candidate, the Jordan River as a perfect picture, and John the Baptist as an authorized administrator of baptism (3:35-5:16). Since Jesus was sinless, only the saved can experience baptism; baptism does not wash away sins (5:17-13:28; the audio here skips a little). The Jordan River provides a perfect picture for total immersion, which serves as a symbol for what Christ has done for us internally (13:29-20:32). Dr. Harper discusses how you can be a believer and not have scriptural baptism, and he conveys that baptism is a church ordinance not a Christian ordinance (20:33-26:40). He concludes with saying that it matters who is baptized and how they are baptized (26:41-30:20). No audio (30:21-30:25). Dr. Harper is thanked for his sermon (30:26-31:05). A word of prayer ends the service (31:06-32:36).

- Dr. L. Keith Harper was Assistant Professor of Church History. Dr. Harper is introduced (0:00-2:19). The choir sings a song of worship (cut) (2:20-2:25). Dr. Harper thanks the musicians and instructs the congregation to turn to 1 Kings 22 (2:26-2:51). Before delving into Scripture, Dr. Harper briefly mentions Dr. Stephen Andrews and his archaeological work (2:52-3:56). He asks the question: what do you do when you want to do right, but everyone else wants you to make the decision that is morally wrong? (3:57-4:50). He then reads from 1 Kings 22, focusing on the prophet Micaiah and how he faced adversity (4:51-7:49). There will be times where it feels like you are against everyone else (7:50-9:00). Dr. Harper provides three ways how Micaiah dealt with adversity, with the first one involving Micaiah knowing his identity (9:01-17:58). Second, Micaiah knew what to expect (17:59-19:44). He knew that he faced a demand for conformity, false religion, and intense hatred (19:45-22:35). Dr. Harper discusses that as believers we must make a stand for Christ by not conforming, not following false religion, and acting more Christ-like in the face of hatred (22:36-28:06). Third, Micaiah knew how to cope with adversity by enduring the consequences (28:07-30:39). Dr. Harper concludes with expressing that God’s path is not the one with the least resistance and that a generation that will not conform to this world is needed (30:40-32:57).

- Description:
- Dr. L. Keith Harper was Professor of Baptist Studies. Dr. Harper offers a word of thanks, recognizes several people in the congregation, and reveals that he will be speaking about the missionary Issachar Jacox Roberts who greatly shaped the Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board (0:00-2:29). He begins with Roberts’ conversion to Christianity and his eventual desire to conduct missions in China; however, Roberts did not establish a secure connection with the Foreign Mission Board (2:30-10:03). Roberts’ quasi-independent missionary status caused problems for his fellow missionaries and he was prone to complain about financial matters (10:04-11:58). Dr. Harper explains that Roberts also reached out to the Foreign Mission Board to send a woman to China to become his assistant and wife (11:59-15:56). The financial dispute continued until the Board gave in to Roberts (15:57-17:30). The Board sent Harriet Baker to China as a missionary not as a wife for Roberts; this led to Virginia Young wanting to go to China, but she was declined (17:31-19:06). Virginia Young and Roberts somehow met, married, and traveled to China (19:07-19:52). This visit and Roberts’ prior conflicts with the Foreign Mission Board would change the lives of all those associated with mission work in China (19:53-23:39). Dr. Harper discusses the criticism that arose when the Foreign Mission Board severed connections with Roberts, which led to Roberts’ complaint of the decision affecting his wife’s health and his monetary position (20:40-30:15). Roberts desired to form an only male missionary committee, with the hope of achieving individual freedom and harmony (30:16-33:13). After the negative information about Roberts leaked from the annual meeting of the Richmond Foreign Mission Board, he lost support (33:14-36:21). His wife left him in China, but he did eventually return to America where he died of leprosy (36:22-37:11). Roberts left his estate in China to another missionary, leaving mothing for his wife (37:12-37:57). Dr. Harper clarifies that Roberts’ missionary life raised questions regarding how missionaries were to answer their calling and how they were to relate to others (37:58-38:28). He conveys that Roberts forced the Foreign Mission Board into forming its own identity and establishing its authority over its missionaries, shaped Southern Baptist journalism, helped in promoting single women in the field of missions, and raised questions concerning how missionaries were to live and interact with each other during missions (38:29-45:56). Dr. Harper expresses that more questions than answers has resulted from this research (45:57-46:31; he is cut off mid-sentence).

- Description:
- Anne L. Neil was Consultant for Women in Ministry. Neil is announced as the Chapel speaker (0:00-0:07). A hymn is played (0:08-6:54). Luke 1:39-56 is the Scripture reading of the day (6:55-9:39). A list of concerns is discussed (9:40-11:05). A word of prayer is given (11:06-12:26). Anne Neil is introduced (12:27-13:14). Before she begins speaking, Neil asks for a moment of silence (13:15-13:59). Neil begins with a question, “where is the prophetic voice,” and then she expresses how Mary (Jesus’ mother) and her cousin Elizabeth were unlikely candidates to share the coming of Jesus (14:00-21:00). Both Mary and Elizabeth prophesied Jesus’ salvation (21:01-24:59). Neil discusses how Mary’s prophetic song in the book of Luke reveals the struggles of those who live in poverty and she asks the question: “where is compassion and biblical justice?” (25:00-28:26). She explains that the three sources of prophetic voices are the third world, the black churches of America, and women who all are called to proclaim the Gospel (28:27-33:19). A word of prayer is given (33:20-34:50). Neil closes with the wish that everyone would leave with “hope and God’s good humor” (34:51-35:02).

- Jack Stearns was the Director of the Mid-Atlantic Region of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education. Stearns is announced as the Chapel speaker (0:00-0:14). A hymn is played (0:14-3:15). A word of prayer is given, followed by a hymn (3:16-6:40). Guest visitors for Clinical Pastoral Education Day are welcomed and Stearns is introduced (6:41-11:36). A hymn is played (cut) (11:37-11:42). Reading from Luke 10:25-37, Stearns focuses on the “good neighbor” image of ministry (11:43-16:28). He speaks of the internal difference of the three neighbors from the Scripture that caused the different responses to the injured man (16:29-17:30). Perhaps the priest and the Levite were preoccupied with their cultural duties or other matters (17:31-20:34). The Samaritan showed compassion, implying that he was a man willing to care and a man who had experienced brokenness (20:35-22:03). Stearns then mentions that we all have a little of the priest and Levite in us (22:04-23:37). He also suggests that maybe the Samaritan was fulfilling the law to love God and others by showing compassion (23:38-24:05). Believers have a common bond that causes us to come to together to answer God’s call to ministry (24:06-26:27). Stearns ends with a final word on the good neighbor image: we are one body that God calls on to minister to others (26:28-28:21). A word of prayer concludes the service (28:22-30:37).

A word of prayer is followed by another hymn (cut) (7:37-8:47). The audience is greeted, and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Roy L. Honeycutt is presented (8:48-10:08). Honeycutt represents all the seminaries and theological schools in the U.S. and Canada and shows his support for Drummond’s inauguration (10:09-17:00). The Scripture reading for the day is from Psalm 84 and Acts 20 (17:01-20:53). Billy Graham is introduced (20:54-25:19). The choir sings an anthem (25:20-30:30). Dr. Graham greets everyone and reads Proverbs 29:18 and Acts 16:9 (30:31-37:21). He speaks of the calls to hear, help, and heed with a focus on evangelism and social service as well as proclaims his support of Drummond as SEBTS new president (37:22-1:04:58). A soloist sings (1:04:59-1:08:32). Chairman of the Board of Trustees Robert Crowley announces Drummond as the right leader for the Seminary and asks him to come forward to sign his name on the articles of faith (1:08:33-1:18:00).

- Fisher Humphries was Professor of Theology at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Fisher Humphries is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:14). A hymn is played (0:15-3:07). A word of prayer is given, followed by another hymn (cut) (3:08-5:53). Humphries is introduced, and his message focuses on the Bible and spiritual formation as the second part to his previous message on the church (5:54-8:02). Humphries greets his audience and reads from Psalm 119 (8:03-9:24). He speaks of four ways Scripture forms our lives: it provides a Christian worldview, offers the experience of God’s reality, demonstrates how to live in ordinary life and in a community, and reveals our true identities (9:25-10:07). Scripture is effective in providing believers with a worldview that can be based on astronomy and geography, psychology, and history (10:08-13:08). Scripture impacts the Christian worldview: it assures us that the world is not shapeless, informs us that the world is not how God intended it to be, protects us against idolatry, teaches us to live in anticipation, and transforms the meaning of history (13:09-19:50). Humphries then speaks of how Scripture is a catalyst for experiencing God with a focus on conversion, prayer, guidance and strength, friendships, and Biblical stories (19:51-24:49). Reading from Proverbs, Humphries reinforces how Scripture gives practical guidance for living our lives (24:50-33:03). He also discusses how Scripture illustrates how to live in a community (34:00-35:49). Lastly, Humphries mentions how Scripture reveals our true identities and finally closes with a summary of the four main points of his lecture (35:50-41:19). A word of prayer is given followed by a hymn (41:20-43:43).

- 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).
