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
2 Timothy 1:9 Grace before the Ages Began
This Christmas service begins with Matthew 1 and the carol "Away in a Manger," then follows confession and absolution. The sermon hymn is "Thy Works, Not Mine," and the message points out God's gracious plan top save sinners through the giving of His Son, a plan whose completion He foreknew, a plan that we can count on. The program ends with the Last Gospel (John 1) and the singing of a hymn version of the Phos Hilarion and Silent Night in both English and German.
