Hi! I think it was a very nice procuction and seem to be a good church which helds the Word of God in the highest esteem. I wonder though in which way the church is liturgical? I think it is very good with the procession of the Holy Gospel, but why is the divine service not called the holy mass or high mass, and why is the chasuble not used? God bless!

@karpov89 Thanks for the feedback. While Lutherans use the term "mass" (Luther wrote a German Mass), the term Divine Service (or Gottesdienst in German) is standard among Lutherans to emphasize that it is God who serves us with His gifts in the service. Many Lutherans make use of chasubles and I most certainly appreciate them, but I was obviously not using one when this video was recorded. The Lord's blessings with you as well!

@pastorkevingolden it moved me when you were expaining the meaning of Luther's Rose. Thank you for a good movie. That's a pity I wasn't raised Lutheran. God bless you dear Pastor

@pastorkevingolden it moved me when you were expaining the meaning of Luther's rose. Thank you for a wonderful movie. That's a pity I wasn't raised Lutheran. Here in Poland there is only 80 000 Lutherans. God bless you dear Pastor.

Beautiful church! I'm from IELB (Evangelical Lutheran Church of Brazil), my church came from the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod of the USA and I am glad to see that the doctrine and customs are kept and very similar.

I imagine Lutherans must be a minority in Missouri. Here In Minnesota, they're everywhere! I'm no longer Lutheran, but have some fond memories of growing up in that church.

@pastorkevingolden Thank you for your blessing, kind and informative reply! Well maybe the tradition is a bit different in America than in Sweden, where we always since the 16th century has used the word "högmässa" or high mass for the service (with communion). Please check my videos out to see how our liturgy is and how bishops, priests and deacons dress over here. (Chasuble is normal to wear during the mass, but on occasion only alb and stole).
