Jesus, The Unexpected Deliverer

In The Shadow Of Doubt

If you want to know if someone is honest, you take a look at the track record of their words. If you want to know if the words and promises of God are true, you take a look at the Bible. In it, we find the track record of his trustworthiness, his grace, and even his relationship with his people. In this message from Pastor Schmeling of Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, we'll look at Jesus' relationship with Thomas and how that one moment in this relationship speaks to the relationship we can have with him even in the moments of our doubts.

Communion A Message In Three Parts

Communion. It’s more than just bread and wine. Within it lies a message, and in that message a connection between ourselves and God, others, and believers across time. Join Pastor Steve Schmeling of Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, MN for this message entitled: “Communion: A Message In Three Parts”. In it, he explores these connections, dives into the message at the heart of Maundy Thursday, and shares with us the hope that can be found as we look at all of these elements in the light of God's grace.

When we think about Palm Sunday, pictures of Jesus riding on a donkey might come to mind. And, that idea in and of itself may make us stop and think about the message that was being carried. It's not something that we'd ordinarily think about. And, just as this idea might seem out of the ordinary to us, it was a sight to those living back in that day. Join Pastor Steve Schmeling of Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota as he explores this message, talks about the significance of this point in history, and engages us in dialogue about what this means to those of us living in the world today.

When Faith Is Shattered

We can be fooled. Television shows, ads, and even moments in our lives teach us this lesson clearly. But what happens when our struggles make us question our faith and whether or not this faith is something we can depend on? What's the message we can hold onto during these times? Join us for this message by Pastor Steve Schmeling of Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota entitled "When Faith Is Shattered".

Citizens of Heaven: Role Models For Eternity

When we think about role models, the first thing we might think about is people with power and influence. The type of that power and influence might differ from relational to professional. And this is why that word can bring to mind for us pictures of social media influencers, politicians, or even people who are in our lives more closely like family members and friends. But what connects these? What makes a good role model? And more specifically, what makes a good, solid, Biblical role model.
