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 9 "Transfiguration"
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Elements of the Matins service (Morning prayer based on the Psalms) include Psalms 95 & 75, a reading from Romans 10, the Magnificat and prayers, including the collect for the Transfiguration. Dr. Zeile's meditation explains that the Greek word for Transfiguration is "metamorphosis" the term we use to describe the change of form for amphibians or insects, and it is used to describe the heavenly mystery about Christ revealed to His 3 apostles on the mountain. The contemporary hymn (with a western sound) "Swiftly Pass the Clouds of Glory" and the German folk hymn "Lord take my Hand and Lead Me" are also included.
