Inspire | Connect | Encourage | Strengthen
Welcome to the Pilgrim Minneapolis audio center. Here you'll find the audio versions of sermons, devotions, and other surprise content along the way all dedicated to the goals of the Pilgrim Minneapolis online community. It's our goal to inspire, connect, encourage, and strengthen you in both your faith and life.
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.

Jesus, The Unexpected Deliverer
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.

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. Join Pastor Steve Schmeling of Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, MN as he explores this question

The View That Changes Everything: How The Glory Of God Transforms Our Perspective On Suffering
There is no life without struggle. And this life is filled with swift transition. In these times, the importance of "here" becomes even more clear to us. "Here" is defined in this message by Pastor Steve Schmeling as "anywhere where Jesus is". When fear comes. When doubt strikes. When life comes to us with its moments of sadness, pain, and grief. When we understand the view of the glory of God and the role it has in these moments, then we also become aware of the transformative nature of "here". We see the view that changes everything. The view that helps us see just how God's glory strengthens us and transforms our perspective on suffering.

What If...?: A Message Of Resurrection For Your Life
What if...? This idea floods our lives through our entertainment and the individual stories and moments that make up the whole of our lives. But it takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to our lives of faith. What if Christ has never been raised? If that's the case, our faith is worth nothing. But then again, what if Christ has been raised? If he has, that changes everything. Join us for this message from Pastor Steve Schmeling of Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota as he explores this question in this message entitled "What If...?: A Message of Resurrection For Your Life Today".

Baptism: God's Work, His Promise
What have you done for me lately? As we live out our lives of faith and struggles come, there may be times when we ask God this question. When it comes to loss. Even in the times when it comes to problems in our families. And yet, we might be surprised to find that this answer is found in the simple things in our walk of faith. One of these simple things is baptism.

How To Hold To A Hope That Produces Humble And Heroic Faith
With the constant changes happening in the world around us, even including those happening with COVID-19 and the current social landscape, it can be easy for us to get caught up and lose sight of hope.

And, where can we find a hope that's strong enough to overpower the strength of our uncertainty? Join Pilgrim Lutheran Church and guest minister, Dr. Scott Gostchock, Executive Director of Grace In Action as we take a look at the journey toward hope of the Magi and discover more about the hope that changed the world, that changed their world, and that has the power to also change ours.

The Love of God, The Doorway of Forgiveness
The love of God is the doorway of forgiveness. Unfortunately, there are times when even though we know this to be true, we don't feel it to be true in our hearts. This can feel even more true when struggles happen in our lives. In this message by Pastor Schmeling of Pilgrim Lutheran Church entitled "The Love of God, The Doorway of Forgiveness", we take a closer look at the life of the prophet Jeremiah. Explore with us the struggles he faced. And, see how God's love and faithfulness to Jeremiah send a clear message to us today about the love of God, the forgiveness of God, and how our relationship with God enables us to redefine winning in a way that prepares us to be victorious even in the hard times of life.
