- Description:
- This video features a convocation of the American Baptist College (ABC) of the American Baptist Seminary (ABTS). This video opens with announcements, a hymn, and a welcome from the Student Government President. This video continues with acknowledgements of staff, students, and guests followed by a sermon from Pastor Harold Love. At 00:35:35, Dr. Odell McGlothian, president of ABTS, speaks on the theme, "Communicating the Word of God in a Changing World." At 01:23:56, Rev. Dr. Floyd Eugene Lacey, Interim vice-president for development and Dean of Chapel Director of Student Development, raises three questions to students: 1) What do you want to be when you grow up? 2) Where do you want to go when you finish ABC? 3) What kind of ministry are you preparing for? Dr. Lacey shares his testimony and encourages students to be patient and follow God's calling to serve even if they do not know their next steps after graduation. The convocation continues with sermons from Dr. Richard D. Lucas (at 01:19:40) on the meaning of the cross, Rev. Curtis Eugene Bender (at 02:59:47) on Jesus being in a class by himself, and Rev. M. Kellar (at 03:29:47) on inevitable changes and obeying God's timing. This video recording concludes with a sermon by Dr. Bernard Lafayette, Jr. at 04:36:12, in which he speaks about Hellen Keller to encourage students to let love lead them.
