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.

Following the classic hymn, "Lord Thee I Love With All My Heart," Dr. Zeile meditates on David's faith, expressed in Psalm 22, that God regards, that is, cares about, the one who suffers. The supreme example of this was the suffering of Christ, Who though forsaken of His Father in the hours of darkness, raised and glorified Him according to promise. We, too, can be consoled that we shall be raised and glorified in due time accordin...
After Psalm 84, Dr. Zeile preaches on Paul's exhortation to boast only in the Lord who has given us all means and opportunity to do anything worthy of boasting. After a hymn, Luke 7 , a collect prayer, the Creed, and the beloved hymn, "Lord of Glory Who has Bought Us" follow.

This message, delivered at Outer Drive Faith Lutheran Church, Detroit on the Sunday before Pentecost, meditates on Jesus' and Peter's instructions about what to do in the mean time, between God's acts of salvation. This is particularly important for Christians who await the Lord's return. The Acts 1:12-26 lesson is accompanied by the kyrie, Nicene Creed, and the Sunday School hymn "I Love to tell the Story."
The corporate Confession & Absolution is followed by the Introit,Kyrie, Collect prayer, Matthew 4 Gospel, and then the hymn, "Let Us Ever Walk with Jesus." The meditation on Hosea 5 & 6 contrasts Israel's faithless conduct with their seeming penitent words. The ability to turn from sin, the gift of faith can only be obtained from God.
God declares to Moses that other nations will recognize Israel's laws as wonderous and just. The Ten Commandments have been acclaimed as such more than any other. Yet the One who fulfilled those laws is greater still, and He spares us from the Law's condemnation. Dr. Zeile's meditation is preceded by the Easter hymn "O Sons & Daughters of the King," and followed by Psalm 98, the I John 4 reading, and the hymn based on this text...

After the Te Deum hymn "Holy God We Praise Thy Name", Dr. Zeile speaks on Christ's teaching that we are to render temporal things to Caesar (the government), and spiritual/eternal obedience to God. The Kingdom of God transcends time and place, and yet the state has coercive power because of human sin, to curb crime and encourage civil righteousness. Then follows the Communion Rite, and a closing hymn of prayer, "God Bless our Nativ...
This dramatic message is addressed to the Apostle who betrayed Jesus.

After the classic morning hymn, "Christ Whose Glory fills the Skies", corporate confession, introit, collect and reading from Hebrews 7, Dr. Zeile points out the political implications of Bartimaeus' call to the Son of David, and the part this played in Jesus' crucifixion. The imploring hymn, O Lord Hear my Prayer" concludes this meditation.
After Psalm 25 and the Kyrie, Dr. Zeile meditates on the Attachments that hinder our following Christ, an invitation for honest self-examination, based on the Mark 10 account of the rich young man who wanted eternal life but could not let go of his wealth. the Nicene Creed and the classic hymn "Thee will I Love, My Strength, My Tower" are included.
