Abstract

Expository preaching is a form of ministry of the Word that interprets and communicates the meaning of biblical texts systematically, historically, and contextually, thereby addressing the spiritual needs of the congregation. Although expository preaching has been widely discussed in homiletical studies, existing research has generally focused on delivery techniques or principles of interpretation, while its theological construction as an instrument for fostering the congregation’s growth in faith remains underdeveloped. Therefore, this study aims to reconstruct the role of expository preaching as a model of faith formation that integrates hermeneutical, theological, and transformative dimensions. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method through a literature review of relevant sources in biblical theology, homiletics, and spiritual growth. The findings indicate that expository preaching preserves the doctrinal integrity of the church, cultivates congregations that are critical and mature in faith, strengthens the spiritual life of the church, and addresses congregational needs. The novelty of this study lies in its conceptual formulation of expository preaching as an integrative model that connects biblical interpretation, spiritual formation, and the continuous development of faith. Thus, expository preaching should be understood not merely as a preaching method but as a strategy for congregational formation that produces maturity in faith rooted in biblical truth and responsive to the challenges facing the contemporary church.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana imajinasi teologis tentang "tanah baru" dapat memberi makna baru atas kerinduan manusia dalam era digital yang sarat dislokasi dan fragmentasi identitas. Bertolak dari narasi biblika mengenai Tanah Perjanjian serta pengharapan eskatologis akan langit dan bumi baru, penelitian ini menganalisis dinamika eksistensial manusia modern yang hidup di tengah kompleksitas ruang digital. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan teologi naratif dan hermeneutik kontekstual, penelitian ini menggabungkan tafsir teologis atas teks Kitab Suci dengan refleksi kontemporer tentang cyberspace sebagai lanskap spiritual tempat manusia mengekspresikan pencarian akan makna, relasi, dan keutuhan. Melalui kerangka Imago Dei dan karya Roh Kudus yang memperbarui ciptaan, bahwa ditemukan ruang cyberspace bukan sekadar medium teknologis, melainkan medan spiritual yang menuntut penataan kembali imajinasi iman. Dengan demikian, kerinduan akan “tanah baru” dalam konteks ini dipahami tidak lagi bersifat geografis belaka, tetapi transenden dan relasional, mengarahkan manusia pada persekutuan yang diperbarui dengan Allah, sesama, dan ciptaan. dalam horizon digital yang baru.
