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.

Job 42 "Reward"
Job's reward after suffering- restored health, a new family, returned wealth- have struck readers as superficial and unsatisfying. If that is all there is, they are right. Dr. Zeile points out the underlying reward that is only betokened by the earthly restoration of Job. The Easter hymn O Filii et Filiae (O Sons & Daughters of the King) is sung along with Psalm 147, Colossians 1 is read, and the classic Lutheran hymn Who Trusts in God a Strong Abode concludes the program.
