- Description:
- 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).

- Description:
- Robert H. Parrish was Chairman of the Student Spirit Life Committee. Parrish is announced (0:00-0:09). A hymn is played (0:10-4:29). Psalm 100 is read, followed by a word of prayer (4:30-5:22). 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).

- 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).

- Description:
- 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).

- Description:
- 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).

- 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).

- 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).

- 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).
