Description

• David French was the pastor of Warren Woods Baptist Church in Warren, Michigan and a Trustee of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. The service begins with organ music (0:00-3:41). The choir sings a song of worship (3:42-5:17). There is a Scripture reading (5:18-5:48). The guests in chapel and the trustees are welcomed (5:49-7:31). Prayer concerns are shared with the congregation and there is a moment of prayer (7:32-9:25). Charles Horton leads the congregation in prayer (9:26-14:34). An announcement is made about the eleven o’clock classes (14:35-15:26). David French is introduced as the chapel speaker (15:27-18:24). The choir sings an anthem (18:25-21:50). There is a moment of prayer (21:51-22:11). French speaks of emotional electricity (22:12-23:43). He speaks about when he gets depressed, he likes to go to theologian, Erma Bombeck, and her view that God understands when people don’t enjoy church and God, and He accepts and loves one where he is (23:44-28:50). French desires to speak about forgiveness within families, churches, and agencies and the lack of showing love because one has not received love (28:51-35:45). French turns the focus of the congregation to Matthew 5 and 18, speaking about conviction and about being offended (35:36-48:17). He argues that one should not do the best he can in life but do the best that Christ can do in one’s life (48:18-49:20). The service closes with a moment of prayer (49:21-50:03).
