Martin Luther's Evening Prayer

Arts EN ↓ 460 episodes

"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.

Christians Are NOBODY SPECIAL 15.03.2015 15:13

Compared to others, we are nobody special, except that God has chosen to have mercy, give us faith in the Savior, and draw us to Himself. Being saved is not a matter of our desserts, but of God's grace in Christ! This is...

The Christian and CONFRONTATION 05.03.2015 16:26

Amos on EXPLOITATION 01.03.2015 18:15

For some people, life is a game whereby they try to "one up" everyone else, taking advantage of superior intelligence, social standing, economic positioning, or strength. God has a message, delivered by the prophet Amos for them! Send us Fan Mail

God's Spirit Leads us through AMBIGUITY 28.02.2015 18:26

This is a blessing we can give thanks for, not a burden. God gives general principles or values and truths that we live by, but we obey as sons & daughters who know the Father's will, not as mindless slaves whose obedienc...
