Description

• Jerry L. Niswonger was Assistant to the President for Student Development. The service opens with a welcome of the faculty for the summer school session and a few announcements (00:00-05:59). Niswonger designates a portion of time for the sharing of prayer requests (06:00-11:50). Niswonger begins his sermon by reading 2 Timothy 3:14-17 (11:51-12:47). His first point is that the scaffolding of religion that is put around God must be torn down because God is not content to be trapped (12:48-18:34). His second point is that the foundational principles of the old scaffolding should be used to build the new religious structure (18:35-20:16). Niswonger’s final point is while the new religious structure is being built, we are to remain in the old building for a time pursuing the mission of the new building (20:17-23:02). Niswonger ends the service with a word of prayer (23:03-23:42).
