SEBTS Chapel - Roy E. De Brand August 31, 1988

Analytics
Description
  • Roy E. De Brand was Professor of Preaching at SEBTS. Roy E. De Brand is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:07). A hymn is played (0:08-3:59). Scripture reading is followed by another hymn (cut) (4:00-4:36). Prayer requests are made, and a word of prayer is given (4:37-8:44). The choir sings a song of worship (8:45-12:15). De Brand speaks about the necessity of an enduring faith for difficult times such as when Americans were fighting for independence from England (12:16-13:59). He focuses on the expression of faith found in the book of Lamentations 3:19-26 (14:00-17:36). Faith comes easy during the good times, but it is during the bad times when faith seems hard to find (17:37-19:09). De Brand discusses that it is easy to find faith as long as we acknowledge God’s eternal, steadfast love (1910-21:26). However, during difficult times, we lose sight of God’s love (21:27-22:04). As De Brand quotes Whittier’s poem Eternal Goodness, he speaks of God’s love always being there for us (22:05-23:28). He then adds that hope is necessary for finding faith during our trials as it provides us the “assurance that our inner strength is greater than our outward problems” (23:29-27:31). We will always face tough times, but hope and the knowledge that God is in control will sustain us (27:32-29:02). God does not disregard those who seek Him so we must be continuously looking to God for enduring faith (29:03-32:00). De Brand concludes with citing from Paul’s epistle to the Corinthians: love is the greatest of the three lasting things of this world (faith, hope, and love) (32:01-33:27). He gives a word of prayer (33:28-34:12).
