Do you ever wonder what’s going through our students’ minds on Call Day? In our latest issue of Concordia Seminary magazine, we hear from three students as they look back at Call Day, and their time at Seminary leading up to those exciting moments. “In class and around late-night bonfires, we shared our own brokenness and supported each other.” Read more here: https://www.csl.edu/2021/09/meet-three-students-from-call-day-2021/

Pastors, have you considered the Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) Program? Dr. Rance Settle ('20) shares one way he benefited from going back to school and pursuing the D.Min. degree, "This program has benefited me in countless ways. My cohort of classmates worked together to address ministry needs in our unique contexts and we still keep in touch to share ideas, resources or to pray together over the phone for immediate needs."

Eccl. 5:10–20; Psalm 119:9–16; Heb. 4:1–13 (14–16); Mark 10:23–31

"Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart" (Heb. 4:11-12 ESV).

Pastors, check out the new Advent Sermon Series from Concordia Seminary Press, “The Bible, Our Book of Advents,” written by President Emeritus Dr. Dale A. Meyer.

“I pray these Advent sermons will enlarge our appreciation for the devotional richness of the entire Bible. In the Old Testament as well as the New Testament, the Bible is a book of advents, of God’s patient persistence to send us a Savior,” said Meyer. “Preparing these sermons has blessed me. I hope they’ll do the same for you.”
