Martin Luther's Evening Prayer
"An Unchanging Faith for Changing Lives" describes the message of God for us in the turmoil of the 21st Century. This faith is taught at St. John's Lutheran Church of Taylor, Michigan, and other congregations of the Lutheran church-Missouri Synod. Rev. Dr. Richard Zeile, Pastor at St. John's, applies the Word of God to our everyday experiences. God's LAW always accuses, but God's GOSPEL shows where grace can be found, through Jesus Christ who died for our sin, but rose that we may have eternal life.
Martin Luther's Evening Prayer
Luke 2: Great Expectations
This message for Christmas meditates on the expectations we have for children whose potential is before them. The birth of Christ engendered such expectations, and He confounded them by being both less and greater than our hopes, for God often denies us what we want in order to provide something unimaginably better. Christmas readings and hymns accompany this message, and it closes with a cello solo playing of "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" by Annaliese Heissenbuettel.
