Best Chapel Sermons at Southern Spring ‘09

This year I was blessed to have a schedule that allowed me to attend chapel at Southern Seminary quite frequently. I didn’t go to all of them, but I went to most of their services. I realize that I can’t say “best sermons” without qualifying it so here’s what I mean.

Right now, the semester is over and I’m thinking back over the last 4 months about those Tuesdays and Thursdays. Which of those services is still chiseling away at my ego, selfishness and unconcern for others. I know that the guy sitting right beside me could have a completely different list and think it is foolish to call any of these sermons “best of ‘09″ but I’m fine with that. However, it is my opinion that these sermons will work on you in many of the same ways they worked on me. So here are my top four.

4. Nick Moore April 23, 2009 Matthew 25:31-46.
This was the preaching award winner for Southern this semester and it gave him an opportunity to preach at the last chapel of the year. With a room full of fellow seminary students daydreaming about what they would do if they were preaching, he went about his business and appealed to a self-examination in our lives.

3. Hershael York, February 26, 2009 “I Kissed a Girl and I Liked It”
It was definately a sermon that was as entertaining as the title. After introducing his sermon by looking at a few pop culture icons that grew up as Christians, he moves on to discuss finishing well in the Christian life.

2. Tim Beougher, February 24, 2009 “Compelled to Share” 1 Corinthians 9
In the best week of sermons, Dr. Beougher gave us what we’d expect from him, a passionate plea for evangelism. He looked at the life of the Apostle Paul and appealed to him as an example of evangelistic fervor.

1. Russell Moore, March 10, 2009, Matthew 4:5-7
This sermon was very timely for me. Dr. Moore took a text that we wouldn’t normally preach from and gives some great advice on getting vindication. I believe that this sermon is still working on me the most in some of the things he would say. Dr. Moore could have had a few sermons on this list but to be fair to the others, he only got one .
