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.

John 14 "The Spirit Brings All to Remembrance"
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
After the I John 3 epistle and sequence hymn, Dr. Zeile develops the promise of Christ in John 14 that the promised Holy Spirit would bring all things to the Apostles' rememberance. To "re-member" is to reconnect, and the promise pertains not merely to recalling facts, but connecting the events of salvation and the teachings of Jesus to believers of every age. Christ's words in the Lord's Supper, "Do this to remember Me," are understood as having great power for in that sacrament we not onlt recall His sacrifice, but are connected to it, and this helps us understand why He emphasized that communicants receive not just bread and wine, but His very Body and Blood.
