Efektivitas Komunikasi Organisasi dalam Kepemimpinan Menurut Keluaran 18:17–27 dan Implikasinya bagi Pelayanan Jemaat GPdI Betania Sidoarjo
This study is motivated by the occurrence of miscommunication, limited understanding of organizational communication, and suboptimal delegation in congregational ministry at GPdI Betania Sidoarjo. The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of organizational communication in leadership based on Exodus 18:17–27 and its implications for congregational ministry. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with primary data obtained from interviews with church administrators, and ministry workers, and secondary data derived from the Bible and academic literature. The results show that ineffective communication and leadership lead to unintegrated ministry practices. In conclusion, the effectiveness of ministry is largely determined by the implementation of clear organizational communication and delegation-based leadership in accordance with biblical principles.

Komitmen, Iman, dan Kasih Setia di Tengah Kepahitan Analisis Deklarasi Kitab Rut 1:16-17
This study analyzes Ruth 1:16–17 using a biblical exegetical approach combined with theological analysis to uncover the meaning of Ruth’s declaration within the context of devastation and alienation. The findings reveal that Ruth’s statement is not merely an emotional expression, but an act of faith that reflects the integration of total commitment, the reception of divine grace, and the practice of covenantal love (hesed). Within the context of suffering, this declaration becomes the starting point of divine providence working quietly yet progressively. The study affirms that hesed is not only an attribute of God but also a relational paradigm embodied in human life. Furthermore, the narrative highlights theological inclusivity, where faith transcends ethnic and social boundaries. Thus, Ruth’s declaration serves as a transformative model of spirituality relevant to contemporary faith.
Fenomena Kerasukan Setan Pada Orang Kristen
The phenomenon of demon possession among Christians remains a subject of debate in contemporary Christian theology because it is closely related to the doctrines of salvation, the work of the Holy Spirit, and spiritual warfare. Different interpretations of biblical texts have given rise to theological positions that either reject or accept the possibility of demonization in the lives of believers. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of demon possession among Christians from a theological perspective and to formulate pastoral implications for the contemporary church. The research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach through a descriptive-critical analysis of relevant biblical texts and theological literature. The findings indicate that the Bible affirms the reality of demon possession but provides no explicit evidence that genuine believers can experience complete control by evil spirits. Nevertheless, Christians may still face spiritual oppression and attacks. Furthermore, phenomena often identified as demon possession may also be influenced by psychological and social factors. Therefore, churches need to develop an integrative, biblical, and responsible pastoral approach in addressing such cases.
Model kepemimpinan Musa dan relevansinya bagi kepemimpinan Kristen masa kini
In the context of a church facing the challenges of social change, a crisis of integrity, digital dynamics, and the need for profound spiritual development, the figure of Moses offers leadership principles that remain significant and applicable. This study aims to analyze Moses' leadership model in the Old Testament and evaluate its relevance for contemporary Christian leadership. This study employed a library research method with a theological-biblical approach and conceptual analysis through adaptive leadership theory to assess Moses' leadership pattern and its implications for the modern church. The results indicate that Moses' leadership reflects five main aspects: God-centered leadership, character-based leadership, adaptive leadership, relational leadership, and transformative leadership. These five aspects have proven relevant to addressing various challenges of contemporary Christian leadership, including the moral crisis, the need for spiritual identity formation, the demands of multigenerational communication, and navigating issues in the digital age. This analysis confirms that Moses' leadership model is not merely historical but also serves as an applicable framework that can enrich and strengthen Christian leadership practice amidst changing times.
Ketika Tuhan mempercayakan anak berkebutuhan khusus: Dinamika psikologis dan spiritualitas orangtua
The birth of a child with special needs confronts parents with distinct psychological and spiritual dynamics, from initial shock, denial, and guilt toward an acceptance achieved through prolonged adaptation. Prior studies have generally examined the psychological and spiritual dimensions separately, leaving their interaction, particularly from a Christian spirituality perspective, underexplored. This study analyzes the psychological dynamics parents experience in raising a child with special needs, the role of spirituality in caregiving adaptation, and their interaction in shaping parental resilience. The study used a descriptive qualitative method with a theological-biblical approach, combining analysis of Scripture and family-psychology literature with in-depth interviews involving four parent and educator informants. Findings showed that early responses of shock, denial, and guilt gradually gave way to acceptance as parents internalized Christian spirituality as religious coping, reframing the child's presence as a gift and evidence of God's providence. This interaction between psychological well-being and spiritual maturity shapes parental resilience, underscoring the need for pastoral sensitivity and inclusive church ministry for such families. These findings provide a basis for developing parenting-support programs, Christian counseling, and pastoral care more responsive to their psychological and spiritual needs.
Merespon Retorika Populisme: Analisis Naratif Pemberontakan Bilangan 16 dalam Perspektif Manajemen Konflik
This article analyzes Moses' leadership response to populist rhetoric in Numbers 16 and its relevance to conflict management in contemporary church leadership. Employing a qualitative method with a narrative analysis approach to Numbers 16, the study finds that Korah's rebellion was not merely a struggle for authority but also a rhetorical contest that employed narratives of equality and accusations of abuse of power to shape the community's perceptions. In response, Moses demonstrated a leadership pattern characterized by self-regulation and the use of fair procedures, the willingness to clarify accusations against his integrity, and prioritizing the well-being of the community amid a crisis of trust. These findings suggest that leadership legitimacy is grounded not in domination or popularity, but in faithful responsibility for the welfare of the community.
Analisis naratif tindakan Yesus mengusir roh jahat di Gerasa dalam perspektif etika Utilitarianisme
The account of Jesus casting out Legion in Mark 5:1–20 is generally understood as a narrative of deliverance. However, Jesus' action, which resulted in the death of a herd of pigs, also raises ethical questions concerning its consequences for the various parties involved. This study aims to analyze the narrative through a dialogue between narrative criticism and utilitarian ethics. Employing a qualitative method with an interdisciplinary approach, the study uses narrative criticism to examine the narrative structure, characterization, conflict, and consequences of Jesus' action, while the principles of utility developed by Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill are employed to evaluate those consequences from a utilitarian perspective. The findings reveal that Jesus' action generated significant utility for the individual who was restored, while simultaneously causing economic loss and rejection from the community. These findings suggest that utilitarianism helps explain the moral tension embedded in the narrative but is insufficient to fully account for the theological significance of Jesus' action, which centers on liberation, restoration, and the manifestation of the authority of the Kingdom of God.
Pengharapan Kosmis Dan Pneumatology dalam Penderitaan: Analisis Eskatologi “Sudah dan Belum” Roma 8:18-30
Faith in Jesus Christ constitutes the foundation of justification and salvation in Christianity. Nevertheless, believers continue to live within the reality of a world that remains under the influence of sin. This article aims to examine cosmic hope and the role of the Holy Spirit in suffering through the framework of the "already and not yet" eschatology in Romans 8:18–30. The study employs a qualitative method with a biblical exegetical approach, utilizing grammatical and theological analyses of the key terms within the passage. The findings indicate that Paul understands Christ's redemptive work as having secured victory over sin and inaugurated the reality of salvation, while its ultimate fulfillment still awaits the restoration of all creation at the end of the age. During this period of anticipation, suffering is understood as an integral part of the process leading to the future revelation of glory. The Holy Spirit functions as the mediator, helper, and guarantee of the eschatological inheritance, sustaining the faith of believers and directing them toward enduring hope. Therefore, the concept of the "already and not yet" eschatology demonstrates that Paul's understanding of cosmic hope and pneumatology provides a theological foundation for perseverance, hope, and Christian living amid suffering.
Gereja Orang Miskin: Studi Teologi Sistematika terhadap Dalil ke-43 Martin Luther dan Relevansinya bagi Teologi Sosial HKBP dalam Konteks Kemiskinan Kontemporer
The Church continues to face significant challenges in responding to poverty, social inequality, and the marginalization of vulnerable communities. This article examines the theological meaning of poverty from a Christian systematic theology perspective by analyzing Martin Luther’s Forty-Third Thesis and contextualizing its relevance within the theological documents of the Huria Kristen Batak Protestan (HKBP). Employing a qualitative theological approach through literature analysis, this study explores biblical perspectives on poverty, Luther’s theological critique of Christian attitudes toward wealth and poverty, and HKBP’s understanding of the Church’s social responsibility. The findings indicate that Luther’s Forty-Third Thesis emphasizes that Christian faith requires active solidarity, compassion, and responsibility toward the poor rather than merely offering religious sympathy. Furthermore, the study reveals that HKBP’s theological documents reflect a contextual understanding of the Church as an institution called to participate in social transformation through advocacy, empowerment, and service to marginalized groups. This article contributes to theological studies by integrating Luther’s Reformation theology with the contextual social theology of HKBP, demonstrating that the concept of the “Church of the Poor” is not only a theological ideal but also a practical ecclesiological commitment in addressing contemporary poverty.
Standarisasi penilik jemaat (penatua) menurut 1 Timotius 3
1 Timothy 3 is a guide given by the Apostle Paul to Timothy regarding the criteria that must be possessed by a church overseer or elder in the church. This standardization covers various aspects of character, morality, and ability that aim to ensure that church leaders have the integrity and capacity needed to lead the congregation well. The standard is that a church overseer must have good character, be able to be a leader at home, have good morals, have spiritual maturity, and be responsible in service. The purpose of the discussion that the researcher describes is to maintain the purity of the teachings and life of the church, and to ensure that the congregation is led by individuals who are faithful, wise, and trustworthy. This study uses a qualitative method by collecting data from scientific papers that lead to the object of research. The results that can be presented are that through this standardization, the church can have a strong basis for the selection and development of church leaders, as well as strengthening the structure and quality of leadership in the Christian church. Thus, this study contributes to a better understanding of church leadership standards that are in accordance with biblical principles.
Integrasi Nilai-Nilai Kristiani Dan Ilmu Seksologi Tentang Hubungan Seksual Suami Istri Serta Perannya terhadap Keharmonisan Keluarga
This study examines a holistic understanding of sexual relations within Christian marriage by integrating theological and scientific perspectives. According to the Bible, sexual intimacy between husband and wife is a sacred gift from God—not merely the fulfillment of biological needs, but a profound expression of communion within the marriage covenant. The relational, procreative, recreational, and symbolic functions of sex affirm its spiritual and ethical value. Meanwhile, the fields of sexology and health highlight the role of sexual intimacy in shaping identity, self-esteem, and the emotional and physical well-being of both partners. Healthy sexual satisfaction has been shown to contribute significantly to the quality of relationships and overall family welfare. The study concludes that a comprehensive and contextual understanding of sexuality in marriage can serve as a foundational factor for building harmonious families. In this regard, the Church holds a strategic role as an agent of education and formation, bridging knowledge gaps and fostering the moral awareness of its congregation. It is recommended that churches offer biblically grounded, open, and contextually relevant instruction on marital relationships as an integral part of transformative pastoral ministry.
Keselamatan dalam Persimpangan Tafsir: Kritik Historis dan Refleksi Teologis atas Isu-Isu Soteriologi
The doctrine of salvation is one of the central teachings in Christianity. The entire message of the Gospel essentially proclaims salvation for sinners through the redemptive blood of Christ. However, throughout church history, differing interpretations of Scripture have led to theological disputes regarding this doctrine. Soteriological controversies notably emerged in the 4th century through the debate between Augustine and Pelagius, and continued during the Protestant Reformation initiated by Martin Luther. These debates intensified as followers of Calvinism and Arminianism defended their respective understandings of salvation. This study aims to examine the historical and theological dynamics of the doctrine of salvation. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a literature review approach. Data are collected through the analysis of theological literature, empirical sources, and previously published scholarly works related to soteriological issues. This study is expected to provide a comprehensive understanding of the development and debates surrounding the doctrine of salvation throughout church history.
Teologi Etika tentang kerukunan dan moderasi beragama dalam konteks Indonesia
Penelitian ini merekonstruksi teologi etika kerukunan dan moderasi beragama di Indonesia sebagai refleksi normatif-kritis, bukan sekadar instrumen kebijakan publik. Menggunakan metode kualitatif studi kepustakaan, studi ini mengintegrasikan teologi lintas agama dengan Teologi Pancasila dan Trilogi Kerukunan sebagai basis normatif moderasi beragama. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai universal seperti martabat manusia, keadilan, dan kasih merupakan fondasi etis bagi kerukunan berkelanjutan. Teologi Pancasila diposisikan sebagai teologi publik inklusif yang menjembatani iman dan kehidupan berbangsa. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa moderasi beragama harus dipahami sebagai praksis teologis transformatif yang melampaui harmoni formal menuju pembelaan keadilan sosial. Studi ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan etika teologis kontekstual untuk memperkuat kerukunan di tengah tantangan intoleransi.
Konsistensi dalam pelayanan belajar dari keteladanan rasul Paulus menurut 2 Korintus 6:1-10
Penelitian ini mengkaji makna dan relevansi konsistensi dalam pelayanan Kristen berdasarkan keteladanan Rasul Paulus dalam 2 Korintus 6:1-10. Dengan metode kualitatif deskriptif dan pendekatan eksegetis-hermeneutik, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsistensi Paulus termanifestasi melalui ketekunan paradoksal di tengah penderitaan, yang didasarkan pada kesetiaan pada kasih karunia Allah. Faktor internal dan eksternal yang memengaruhi konsistensi pelayanan juga dianalisis. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa teladan Paulus memberikan paradigma pelayanan yang relevan untuk memperkuat ketahanan dan integritas pelayan Tuhan masa kini.
Militansi pelayan Kristus: Dasar pembentukan pemimpin dan Gereja yang tangguh di era digital
Penelitian ini menganalisis peran militansi pelayan Kristus—yang dimaknai sebagai keteguhan iman, disiplin rohani, kesetiaan pelayanan, dan keberanian moral—dalam membentuk kepemimpinan dan gereja yang tangguh di era digital. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif melalui kajian literatur dan refleksi kontekstual atas realitas gereja Indonesia, penelitian mengidentifikasi tantangan utama seperti banjir informasi, budaya populer yang sekuler, serta kebutuhan pemimpin yang cakap digital dan kokoh spiritual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan militansi relevan sebagai solusi atas krisis kepemimpinan yang ditandai integritas lemah, pragmatisme pelayanan, dan disiplin rohani yang rendah. Gereja yang tangguh di era digital berhasil mengintegrasikan militansi iman dengan inovasi digital, menjadikan teknologi bukan sekadar alat komunikasi, melainkan ruang spiritual bagi persekutuan dan misi. Simpulan penelitian menegaskan bahwa pembentukan pemimpin dan gereja di Indonesia perlu mengintegrasikan disiplin spiritual, literasi digital, dan kepemimpinan transformatif. Kontribusi penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memperkaya pengembangan teologi praktis dalam konteks Indonesia serta wacana akademik global tentang kepemimpinan Kristen di era digital.
Konseling pastoral dalam membangun karakter kejujuran: Psikospiritualitas dalam bingkai iman Kristen
Penelitian ini membahas kejujuran sejati sebagai salah satu nilai moral dan spiritual yang fundamental dalam kehidupan manusia, dengan fokus pada relasi dengan Tuhan. Masalah utama yang diangkat adalah tingginya tingkat ketidakjujuran dalam kehidupan sosial dan bagaimana kejujuran yang autentik dapat diwujudkan melalui pengalaman iman yang mendalam. Urgensi penelitian ini terletak pada pemahaman kejujuran tidak hanya sebagai norma etis, tetapi sebagai hasil dari hubungan spiritual yang otentik dengan Allah, yang selama ini kurang mendapat perhatian. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada integrasi perspektif teologis, psikologis, dan konseling pastoral untuk menggambarkan kejujuran sebagai panggilan holistik yang menghubungkan aspek pribadi, relasional, dan komunitas dalam kehidupan iman. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi literatur dengan pendekatan kualitatif, yang mencakup sumber-sumber Alkitab, teori perkembangan moral, dan praktik konseling pastoral. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kejujuran sejati mencerminkan karakter Allah yang terwujud melalui transformasi Roh Kudus dalam kehidupan orang percaya. Kejujuran ini bukan hanya kewajiban moral, tetapi juga ekspresi iman yang mendalam, yang memungkinkan integritas hidup dan pemulihan dalam konseling pastoral serta menjadi kesaksian profetis dalam gereja dan masyarakat.
Peran Orang Tua Dalam Pembentukan Karakter Disiplin, Bertanggung Jawab, Dan Jujur Pada Generasi Alpa Berdasarkan 2 Timotius 3:14-16
Orang tua berperan sentral dalam penanaman nilai dan karakter disiplin, tanggung jawab, dan kejujuran pada generasi alfa berdasarkan nilai-nilai Alkitabiah dalam 2 Timotius 3:14–16. Generasi Alfa, yaitu anak-anak kelahiran setelah 2010, hidup dalam konteks era digital yang berkembang pesat sehingga menghadirkan tantangan tersendiri dalam pendidikan karakter di dalam keluarga Kristen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi cara orang tua menerapkan nilai-nilai Alkitabiah tersebut, menganalisis efektivitasnya dalam membentuk karakter anak, serta merancang model pendidikan karakter berbasis Alkitab yang relevan dengan karakteristik generasi Alfa. Pendekatan kajian yang diterapkan adalah mengadopsi metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap sepuluh keluarga Kristen yang terlibat aktif dalam pelayanan Sekolah Minggu di Gereja PIBI Jemaat Filadelfia Banan Laek. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengajaran Alkitab sejak dini, keteladanan hidup orang tua, serta penerapan pendidikan karakter yang konsisten melalui disiplin dengan kasih, pembiasaan tanggung jawab melalui tugas harian, dan kejujuran melalui teladan nyata terbukti efektif dalam membentuk karakter anak.
Analisis eksegetis 1 Kor. 13:4 mengenai makna kasih dalam frasa tidak memegahkan diri dan tidak sombong
This study presents an exegetical analysis of the phrases “does not boast” (περπερεύεται) and “is not arrogant” (φυσιόω) in 1 Corinthians 13:4. Through linguistic and contextual analysis, it distinguishes two dimensions of pride: perpereuetai denotes external, boastful behavior seeking public recognition, while physioō refers to an internal attitude of superiority. The findings reveal Paul’s intentional critique of self-centered spirituality in the honor-driven Corinthian community. Theologically, love (ἀγάπη) emerges as a transformative principle grounded in Christ’s humility. This study offers relevant insights for contemporary churches navigating digital-age tendencies toward self-promotion and spiritual narcissism.
Pendekatan Konseling Pastoral Berdasarkan Yesaya 5 terhadap Pecandu Minuman Keras: Telaah Biblika dan Praktik Pastoral
Alcohol addiction is a critical issue that demands serious attention. Besides its fatal consequences on health, addiction to ethanol-containing beverages can also contribute to higher crime rates and deviant behaviors, including fights, brawls, murders, and other immoral acts that harm both the addicts and those around them. Therefore, pastors, priests, spiritual leaders, and mentors who play significant roles in guiding congregations must collaborate to reduce alcohol addiction and mentor those affected. This study aims to propose a pastoral counseling model based on Isaiah 5:11 to support alcoholics within the congregation and the broader community. A qualitative approach with a literature review method is used, involving data collection from various sources such as the Bible, spiritual texts, and academic journals. The findings suggest that a counseling and pastoral care model, including guidance, empowerment, and therapeutic interventions like aversion therapy, holistic therapy, and group therapy, combined with biblical teachings, can serve as an effective strategy for addressing alcohol addiction in pastoral care.
The Pembentukan Pneumatologis dalam Kepemimpinan Kristen melalui Peran Roh Kudus sebagai “Competency Enabler"
Abstract: This study examines the formation of Christian leadership from a pneumatologically perspective, emphasizing the role of the Holy Spirit as a competency enabler. Employing a qualitative approach through literature review, the research explores how the Holy Spirit guides, equips, and empowers Christian leaders. The Holy Spirit imparts vision, cultivates divine abilities and knowledge through spiritual gifts, while also shaping the leader’s character through the fruit of the Spirit and enhancing relational capacities with God and others. The findings indicate that active spiritual formation by the Holy Spirit significantly contributes to the integrity, effectiveness, and sustainability of leadership within the ecclesial context. The practical implication of this study underscores the necessity of developing a holistic leadership training model that integrates pneumatological principles into church leadership curricula, aiming to produce competent, impactful, and adaptive Christian leaders responsive to the dynamics of contemporary ministry.
Dari pelarian ke panggilan: Formasi kepemimpinan Musa sebagai paradigma pembentukan pemimpin Kristen masa kini
Abstract: This article examines the formative process of Moses’ leadership in the Book of Exodus as a paradigm for shaping Christian leaders today. Moses’ transformation from a fugitive to a prophetic leader demonstrates that true leadership does not emerge from human readiness but from God’s formation through suffering, isolation, and spiritual encounter. The narrative highlights the importance of submitting to God’s timing and methods in responding to His call, emphasizing that leadership is not merely about the ability to lead, but about who is being shaped to lead. In today’s context, marked by a crisis of integrity and authenticity, the story of Moses offers a model of leadership rooted in humility, dependence on God, and a willingness to serve. Using a biblical-theological approach, this article reflects that the formation of Christian leaders must be grounded in deep spirituality rather than merely in competence or structural position.
Paradigma Orangtua terhadap Anak Perempuan dalam Pendidikan Memasung Emansipasi
Roma pasal 12:1-2 merupakan peralihan dari pengajaran tentang pembenaran oleh iman ke dalam praktek hidup harian. Orang percaya setelah mendapat pengajaran tentang pembenaran oleh iman, dapat hidup sesuai hakekat barunya tersebut. Sebagai orang yang telah dibenarkan oleh iman, setiap orang percaya harus memiliki gaya perilaku yang berbeda dengan kehidupan sebelumnya. Ada dua hal yang terjadi di dalam hidup orang percaya. Setiap orang percaya mendapat tantangan dan perubahan hidup. Setiap orang percaya mendapat tantangan untuk mempersembahkan dirinya sebagai persembahan yang hidup, kudus dan berkenan kepada Allah. Di sisi berikutnya setiap orang percaya harus mengalami perubahan. Mereka tidak lagi menjadi serupa dengan dunia tetapi harus serupa dengan gambar Kristus. Setiap orang percaya harus mengalami perubahan moral, mental dan motivasional. Ini semuanya merupakan ibadah yang sejati.

Anak Cucunya Tidak akan Meminta-minta: Parenting dan Grandparenting
Pembangunan tubuh Kristus merupakan agenda utama gereja dalam rancangan Allah. Hal itu bertalian dengan amanat Agung Yesus Kristus. Perintah untuk memberitakan Injil sampai ujung bumi, memuridkan semua bangsa dan membaptis di dalam nama Bapa dan Anak dan Roh Kudus mengindikasikan, bahwa di pundak gereja diberikan tanggungjawab untuk bertumbuh dalam kedewasaan sehingga dapat berkembang untuk memenuhi bumi dengan ajaran Kristus. Gereja harus melakukan ekspansi (misi) besar-besaran ke dalam kehidupan manusia, agar dapat menghadirkan pemerintahan Allah di bumi ini. Hal itu sejajar dengan doa yang diajarkan oleh Tuhan Yesus, “Datanglah kerajaan-Mu dan jadilah kehendak-Mu di bumi seperti di sorga”. Oleh sebab itu, esensi dari pembangunan tubuh Kristus adalah mencapai kepenuhan Kristus yang menghasilkan pendewasaan umat, sehingga mereka menjadi alat Tuhan yang mendorong pertumbuhan sesama anggota tubuh Kristus. Terang Injil yang menyelamatkan menjangkau dan memenuhi kehidupan umat manusia.
Menerapkan Manajemen Pelayanan Berbasis SOP di Gereja
When viewed at the present time, church service management based on SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) in providing quality of service is less considered. This can be seen by the dependence of subordinates / workers / staff to the leader in running the service so that errors often occur in it and as a result can not provide good quality of service to the congregation, the services provided by the church are not in accordance with the expectations of the congregation. Management of church services is a very important process in serving the congregation. Every minister in all areas of service in a church should have a standard operating procedure that has been determined. Such as the attitude of serving the congregation, appearance when serving the congregation, knowledge and skills in serving the congregation according to their respective fields of service. The purpose of this paper is to determine the quality of services that exist in the church, to know the extent of service management based on SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) in the church and to determine the standardization of service management in the church. Based on the results of this paper, we get the fact that by implementing service management based on SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) in the church, the congregation can be served well and effectively so as to produce satisfaction for the congregation. Abstrak Jika dilihat pada masa sekarang ini, manajemen pelayanan gereja yang berbasis SOP (Standar Operasional Prosedur) dalam memberikan kualitas pelayanan kurang diperhatikan. Hal ini dapat dilihat dengan adanya ketergantungan bawahan/ pengerja/ staff kepada pemimpin dalam menjalankan pelayanan tersebut sehingga seringkali terjadi kesalahan di dalamnya dan akibatnya tidak dapat memberikan kualitas pelayanan yang baik kepada jemaat, pelayanan yang diberikan oleh gereja tidak sesuai dengan harapan jemaat. Manajemen pelayanan gereja ini merupakan proses yang sangat penting dalam melayani jemaat. Setiap pelayan dalam semua bidang pelayanan di gereja seharusnya mempunyai standar operasional prosedur yang sudah ditentukan. Seperti sikap melayani jemaat, penampilan saat melayani jemaat, pengetahuan dan keterampilan dalam melayani jemaat sesuai bidang pelayanan masing-masing. Tujuan tulisan ini adalah untuk mengetahui mutu pelayanan yang ada pada gereja, mengetahui sejauh mana manajemen pelayanan berbasis SOP pada gereja dan untuk mengetahui standarisasi manajemen pelayanan yang ada pada gereja. Berdasarkan hasil penulisan ini, memperoleh fakta bahwa dengan diterapkannya manajemen pelayanan berbasis SOP di gereja, maka jemaat dapat terlayani dengan baik dan efektif sehingga menghasilkan kepuasan bagi jemaat.

Penginjilan yang Sesungguhnya: Siapa saja yang Harus Berperan?
There are Christians who feel that they can choose (separate), between the gospel message and social service (struggle for equal rights, peace, love, struggle against injustice, oppression and indifference, poverty, hunger, ignorance, economy, politics, liberated oppressed). Some people say: "It might be good if Christians wrestle with social problems, but the gospel message is far more important. I will use my time to win people to Christ. " Another said, "Of course we want people to acknowledge Christ, but the struggle of the church in society is more important now." I will use my time to serve the poor. By investigating through the controversy literature above, it will be deciphered in this article, so that a correct and biblical understanding becomes the right answer to mediate the debate over the debate above and find a solution that will encourage the progress of the gospel message in the future. Finally, the conclusions still lead to the words, thoughts and behavior of Jesus which is the answer to the controversy above. In the ministry of Jesus the 'sign' that God's Kingdom is shown when he casts out demons, heals the sick, performs miracles, brings good news to the poor, freedom of imprisoned people, restoration of vision for the blind, his concern for, politics and the need to free the oppressed presented clearly (Luke 4: 18-19, 7: 21-23). Abstrak Ada orang-orang Kristen yang merasa bahwa mereka bisa memilih (memisahkan), antara pekabaran Injil dengan pelayanan sosial (perjuangan demi persamaan hak, damai sejahtera, kasih, perjuangan melawan ketidak adilan, penindasan dan masa bodoh, kemiskinan, kelaparan, kebodohan, ekonomi, politik, pembebasan yang tertindas). Ada orang berkata: “barangkali ada baiknya kalau orang-orang Kristen menggumuli masalah masalah sosial, namun pekabaran Injil jauh lebih penting. Saya akan memakai waktu saya untuk memenangkan orang-orang bagi Kristus”. Yang lain berkata, “Tentu kita ingin supaya orang-orang mengakui Kristus, tetapi perjuangan gereja dalam masyarakat lebih penting saat ini”. Saya akan memakai waktu saya iuntuk melayani orang-orang miskin. Dengan penyelidikan lewat literatur-literatur kontroversi diatas akan diurai dalam artikel ini, agar pemahaman yang benar dan Alkitabiah menjadi jawaban yang tepat untuk menengahi pendebatan perdebatan yang terdapat di atas dan ditemukan solusi yang akan mendorong kemajuan pekabaran Injil di masa yang akan datang. Akhirnya yang menjadi kesimpulan tetap bermuara pada perkataan, pikiran dan perilaku Yesuslah yang menjadi jawaban terhadap kontorversi di atas. Dalam pelayanan Yesus 'tanda' bahwa Kerajaan Allah ditunjukkan ketika ia mengusir setan, menyembuhkan orang sakit, melakukan mukjizat, membawa kabar baik kepada orang miskin, kebebasan orang yang terpenjara, pemulihan penglihatan untuk orang buta, kepeduliannya terhadap, politik dan perlunya membebaskan orang yang tertindas tersaji dengan jelas (Luk. 4:18-19, 7:21-23).
Memaknai Pernikahan dalam Membangun Kurikulum Pendidikan Kristiani bagi Pelaksanaan Kursus Pranikah dan Pernikahan
Hari-hari dari hidup pernikahan tidaklah otomatis selalu gemerlapan seperti yang digambarkan oleh sinetron, drama, dan film, bahkan banyak pernikahan jatuh dalam perpisahan dan tidak sedikit pernikahan Kristen yang diberkati oleh pendeta di geraja pun mengalami kesulitan, perselingkuhan, dan beberapa berakhir dengan perceraian. Hal ini menunjukkan betapa gentingnya pernikahan dan bagaimana diperlukan pemahaman akan makna yang tepat tentang pernikahan sehingga dapat menjalani pernikahan dengan bertumbuh secara sehat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metodologi riset pustaka dari berbagai ahli yang bergerak dalam pelayanan pembinaan pranikah, pernikahan dan keluarga Kristen sehingga pengalaman dan kebenaran-kebenaran Alkitab yang dipraktikkan puluhan tahun dapat memberikan gambaran bagi Pendidikan Agama Kristen bidang pernikahan dalam merumuskan kurikulum pembinaan pranikah dan pernikahan yang tepat sesuai kebutuhan dan tantangan zaman.

Kekayaan dan Kemiskinan dalam Kehidupan Umat Allah Masa Kini: Sebuah Refleksi Teologis
Jiwa Entrepreneurship Pemimpin dalam Penatalayanan Gereja
The church exists in the world because of the will of God who wants it as an extension to deliver the message of peace (shalom) to mankind. Peace brought by the church must be conveyed to the people, both the congregation and also other people outside the congregation. The maximum or failure of the church in carrying out God's mission is influenced by the participation of a leader. Church leaders who are not creative and innovative will make the congregation they lead also not fully experience shalom in their lives let alone people outside the church. Leaders who have entrepreneurial spirit are expected to be able to carry out the task of the church. Because entrepreneurs with an entrepreneurial spirit are able to see opportunities and make breakthroughs for progress coming. Leaders with entrepreneurial spirit are already familiar with the pattern of independence, their courage in innovating to make church programs. The author makes this article by taking data sources through the study of yakbi literature through books and also other sources for data collection which are finally compiled into a scientific work. It is hoped that this article can add knowledge and insight, and may even be used as a reference for conducting leadership practices. Seeing the amount of responsibility carried by the church requires determination and persistence and resilience of a leader. Moreover, the church today stands in an environment that has a complexity of problems. The church's challenge in bringing this shalom can be overcome through spiritual leaders with an entrepreneurial spirit. Abstrak Gereja ada di dunia adalah karena kehendak Allah yang menghendakinya sebagai perpanjangtanganannya untuk menyampaikan kabar damai sejahtera (shalom) kepada umat manusia. Damai sejahtera yang dibawa oleh gereja harus tersampaikan kepada umat, baik itu jemaat dan juga orang-orang lain di luar jemaat. Maksimal atau tidaknya gereja dalam menjalankan misi Tuhan tersebut dipengaruhi oleh peran serta seorang pemimpin. Pemimpin jemaat yang tidak kreatif dan inovatif akan membuat jemaat yang dipimpinnya juga tidak sepenuhnya mengalami shalom dalam hidupnya apalagi masyarakat di luar gereja. Pemimpin yang memiliki jiwa enterpreneurship diharapkan mampu mengemban tugas gereja tersebut. Sebab pemimpin yang berjiwa enterpreneurship mampu melihat peluang dan membuat terobosan-terobosan untuk kemajuan diakan datang. Pemimpin berjiwa enterprneurship sudah terbiasa dengan pola kemandiriannya, keberaniannya dalam berinovasi untuk membuat program gereja. Penulis membuat artikel ini dengan mengambil sumber data melalui studi kepustakaan yakbi melalui buku-buku dan juga sumber-sumber lainnya untuk pengumpulan data yang akhirnya disusun menjadi sebuah karya ilmiah ini. Diharapkan artikel ini bisa menambah pengetahuan dan wawasan, bahkan mungkin bisa juga dijadikan refensi untuk mengadakan praktek kepemimpinan. Melihat besarnya tanggung jawab yang diemban oleh gereja tersebut diperlukan tekat dan kegigihan serta ketangguhan seorang pemimpin. Apalagi gereja di zaman sekarang ini yang berdiri di tengah lingkungan yang memiliki kompleksitas persoalannya. Tantangan gereja dalam membawa shalom ini akan bisa teratasi melalui pemimpin-pemimpin rohani yang berjiwa entrepreneurship.
The concept of salvation in Christian theology is a crucial teaching. After the reformation of the church in the 16th century, the doctrine of "grace" has become a special concern for reform churches. But the development of teaching about grace is not always colored by healthy teaching. Hyper Grace is a concrete example of this deviation in the modern church. Teaching that places extreme emphasis on God's grace has a negative impact on Christianity today. The purpose of writing this article is to be able to understand and criticize the teaching holistically and objectively, so that it can present practical relevance regarding the concept of true grace according to the Bible's viewpoint so that it will benefit readers, educational institutions, and other Christian institutions. After analyzing and studying the understanding of Hyper Grace, the writer briefly discovers a number of things that actually distort and contradict the true understanding of grace. In the teachings of Hyper Grace there are practical implications of these teachings that eliminate human responsibility, to the impact on the decline of Christian moral values and ethics. With the understanding of biblical grace that can straighten the understanding of Hyper Grace, so that Christianity can have a correct understanding of the responsibility of God who has provided salvation (grace), on the other hand humans also have a response and responsibility for that grace. Abstrak Konsep keselamatan dalam teologi kristen merupakan suatu pengajaran yang krusial. Pasca reformasi gereja pada abad ke 16, mengenai ajaran “kasih karunia” telah menjadi perhatian khusus bagi gereja-gereja reformasi. Namun perkembangan pengajaran mengenai kasih karunia tersebut tidak selalu diwarnai dengan pengajaran yang sehat. Hyper grace merupakan salah satu contoh konkrit mengenai penyimpangan tersebut pada gereja modern. Pengajaran yang menekankan secara ekstrem pada kasih karunia Allah telah memberikan dampak negatif bagi kekristenan saat ini. Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk dapat memahami dan mengkritisi pengajaran tersebut secara holistik dan objektif, sehingga dapat menyajikan relevansi praktis mengenai konsep kasih karunia yang benar menurut pandangan Alkitab sehingga bermanfaat bagi pembaca, lembaga pendidikan, dan lembaga kekristenan lainnya. Setelah menganalisa dan mempelajari pemahaman hyper grace, maka secara ringkas penulis mendapati beberapa hal yang justru menyimpang dan bertolak belakang dengan pemahaman kasih karunia yang benar. Dalam ajaran hyper grace terdapat implikasi-implikasi praktis dari pengajaran tersebut yang menghilangkan tanggung jawab manusia, hingga berdampak pada merosotnya nilai-nilai moral dan etika kristen. Dengan pemahaman kasih karunia yang Alkitabiah akan dapat meluruskan pemahaman Hyper Grace, sehingga kekristenan dapat memiliki pemahaman yang benar tentang tanggung jawab Tuhan yang telah memberikan keselamatan (kasih karunia), di sisi lain manusia pun mempunyai respon dan tanggung jawab terhadap kasih karunia tersebut.
