The
Divine Service
"Lutheran worship bathes the congregation in the Word of God. The readings, the liturgical responses, the great set-pieces such as the Introit and the Kyrie, are not "vain repetitions," as our critics say. They are the very words of the Bible.
Lutheran hymns are not emotional effusions. They are doctrinally and artistically rigorous explorations of a Biblical text. The creed and the prayers are grounded in Scripture.
A Lutheran sermon is never a moralistic pep talk, nor a meditation on current events or pop psychology, but the proclamation of both Law and Gospel, drawn from the appointed text of Scripture.
And Holy Communion is the fulfillment of the Lord's promises as recorded in the New Testament. The Word of God permeates Lutheran worship, and the Word of God is a means of grace." Veith
