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
Psalm 43 "Christ Goes to the Altar of God"
Psalm 43 speaks of the Christ because the Psalmist had the Spirit of Christ who went to the altar of God. Dr. Zeile explains the significance of the altar as the meeting place between God and Man, a place of sacrifice, a table for those who share in eating the sacrifice, and a symbol of Christ cherished in most traditional Christian Churches- Lutheran, Catholic, Orthodox. A reading of James 5, the Gerhardt hymn. "Upon the Cross Extended," and the Thomas Kelly hymn out of the English tradition, "We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died," complete the program.
