A word of prayer is given (3:15-3:53). Dr. Hubbard is introduced (3:54-4:41). The choir sings a hymn (4:42-7:17). Dr. Hubbard speaks on Christian fellowship and hope (7:118-12:24). He then begins his lecture on the Song of Solomon with the question, “do you know what you are reading?” (12:25-13:12). He discusses that the Song of Solomon is an important inspired book of the Bible and the possible time during which it was written (13:13-17:09). The book consists of six major poems: anticipation of a marriage in the first two poems, consummation in the third poem, and an aftermath in the last three poems (17:10-18:04). Dr. Hubbard conveys the stylized descriptiveness of the Song by highlighting the groom’s arrival, the formal session of a wedding, and the cherishing of a bride (18:05-21:14). He explains the love triangle between Solomon, a shepherd, and a woman, with an emphasis on the connection between poetry and paganism in the Song (21:15-26:09). The six major poems are comprised of subsets of poems, such as descriptive poems of devotion, passion, and possession (26:10-31:33). Dr. Hubbard mentions the use of narratives as well as catch words that link the poems together to create unity (31:34-33:09). The Bible is about marriage, and thus the Song of Solomon is a love song that focuses on the love and union between a man and a woman (33:10-38:05). Dr. Hubbard speaks about the royal relationship between the groom and bride that the Song stresses within its poems (38:06-39:47). The Song of Solomon is the best song due to its quality of poetry and its subject matter—love and marriage (39:48-41:57). The book emphases human love at its best, which is made possible by God (41:58-44:52). Dr. Hubbard provides four pastoral applications: love is mutual, love is exclusive, love is total, and love is beautiful (44:53-48:58). He concludes with saying that the Song of Solomon is applicable in the Christian home and with a word on heavenly marriage (48:59-51:11). A word of prayer ends the lecture (51:12-51:31).

Kay Culpepper introduces Brown (9:59-12:26). Brown thanks the congregation and speaks of the need for a new church in northwest Raleigh (12:27-16:17). She was initially against developing a new church, but eventually God caused her to have a change of heart and she became involved with this new church (16:18-18:29). Referring to Acts 2, she focuses on not planting a church, but being a church (18:30-19:30). Brown reveals that the Gospel, the mission field, and each other are all that are truly needed for a church (19:31-20:53). She provides four beliefs that were taught at the new church in Raleigh: 1) Acts 2:37-47 will serve as a guide, 2) men and women are equal, 3) everyone is a minister, and 4) youth participation (20:54-23:50). The new church grew in spirit and numbers once it acquired a full-time pastor (23:51-25:49). Brown teaches that we plant the Gospel, not churches, and God grows the church (25:50-31:13). Success is not evident by numbers, but how many actively participate in following the cross as a unified body (31:14-37:19). Dr. Braswell thanks Brown for her address and gives a word of prayer (37:20-38:39).

Young spends the rest of the sermon by giving three ways preacher can make God’s word understandable, and they are to make God’s word clear, make it sing, and make it live (20:07-38:30).
