    The Call

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 14, 2011
     | 6,169 views

    This sermon speaks to the question, does God call people specifically to the pastorate? This sermon was presented in the context of inviting Salvationists to consider if God is calling them to "shepherd ministry" as a Salvation Army officer.

    The Call – Not a Ten Digit Number Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:10 • As you consider your life-call to ministry today’s invitation is to ask if your life-call can be best lived out as an officer with The Salvation Army 1. Understanding the Call Two things at play: a. “Priesthood ...read more

    Last week I highlighted that Cornerstone has lost some people over the last year. Although that can be discouraging, there are still plenty of reasons to be positive about the future of our church. Let's continue our story about Gideon and see what happens next.

    Contributed by Bruce Hadley on May 18, 2021
     | 16,790 views

    As Christians, we are often told we must study to show ourselves Approved unto God rightly dividing the word of truth. But what if, I don’t read that well, I have bad study habits or I just don't understand what I read? Does that mean I'm not approved by God?

    As Christians, we are often told, that we must study to show ourselves Approved unto God as workmen not ashamed but rightly dividing the word of truth. But, what if, as the image displays of the little boy reading his Bible, we are unable to understand what we read. What about those who don’t read ...read more

     | 1,437 views

    In faith and trust of God, the righteous will find comfort in captivity. Wisdom will be given for those who seek to find it.

Daniel’s comfort lieth in understanding God’s ...read more
