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.

Exodus 13: Redemption of First-Born
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Luke describes the presentation of Christ in the temple where, as the first-born, He was to be redeemed according to the Law of Moses. Dr. Zeile's reflection on the deeper meaning of this incident includes readings of both Exodus 13 and Luke 2, and the Presentation hymn, "In His Temple Now Behold Him," and Luther's hymn on the Nunc Dimittis, "In Peace and Joy I now Depart."
