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 12 The Palm
This meditation was from a series entitled "Objects of the Passion" for Wednesday evening services in Lent. The palm, often associated with oriental royalty (picture the slave waving the palm branch to create a breeze for the sitting king), recalls Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem where He was acclaimed king and then crucified for being king. Readings from Jeremiah 10, Psalm 118, and Psalm 92 from Vespers accompany this homily as well as the hymn, "Ride on in Majesty."
