Description

• Vance Havner was an evangelist from Greensboro, North Carolina. The service beings with a Scripture reading from the Psalms and a moment of prayer (0:00-1:29). Vance Havner is introduced as the chapel speaker (1:30-6:28). Havner speaks about the two greatest perils to churches, which are “getting used to the dark and getting used to the light” (6:29-7:45). Havner speaks about being aware of the darkness that Christians are up against in the world (7:46-16:59). Havner speaks on getting too used to the light, meaning that one can become dulled by the familiarity of the gospel (17:00-28:15). Havner speaks about the response from the congregation to his sermons and the impact he hopes to make (28:16-31:58). The service ends with an announcement to meet Havner and then in a word of prayer (31:59-34:48).
