SEBTS Chapel - James H. Blackmore September 29, 1988

Analytics
Description
  • James H. Blackmore was Emeritus Professor of A. Div. Studies and Visiting Professor of Biblical Studies. Blackmore is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:20). A hymn is played (0:20-4:50). A brief explanation of the use of a shofar (ram's horn) in scripture is provided, followed with one being blown for the congregation (4:51-8:50). A prayer is given, and a hymn is sung (cut) (8:51-9:48). The scripture reading is from Luke 22:24-34(9:49-11:21). Another prayer is spoken (11:22-13:23). The subject of the message regards believers facing temptations (13:24-18:45). Blackmore mentions a book based on the temptations of a preacher, from which he plans to discuss four temptations (18:46-19:14). The first temptation involves believers equating their thoughts of God with God Himself; however, words are limited and inadequate in comparison to God’s greatness (19:15-21:39). Though our minds are incapable of fully comprehending God, He calls us to a greater understanding (21:40-23:31). Blackmore speaks of the second centuries-old temptation which is to be jealous of one another (23:32-25:04). We should not be jealous because God has given everyone a gift to use for His glory (25:05-25:54). The third temptation concerns ministers neglecting their families as they become more prominent in their work (25:55-29:46). Working for a wage is the last temptation, and Blackmore reveals that God provides Himself as the greatest reward for those who work for Him (29:47-31:50). Blackmore ends his message with a request that the Holy Spirit be with them all, followed by a song of worship (31:51-33:40). The service concludes with another hymn (33:41-36:20).
