Abstract

This research pays attention to various elements related to education in the family that contribute to the growth of the church. The church is an institution established by God as a partner on earth to reveal His plan and will. However, it cannot be denied that the challenges stemming from the development of the times have eroded many things from the church's duties. This research sees that Christian Education in the family is a significant thing for the growth of the church both in quality and quantity. Education that starts from the family can play a role in producing generations that can have a positive influence on the environment. On the other hand, if the church ignores Christian education in the family, something that will contribute negatively will be created.

Abstract

The term ergatai (workers) in Matthew 9:37–38 has commonly been interpreted as referring to pastors, evangelists, or missionaries engaged in formal church ministry. This study reexamines the meaning of the term through a Neo-Calvinist theological perspective to address its relevance for believers in their professional vocations as a response to God's mission. The research employs a qualitative library research method supported by exegetical, theological, and hermeneutical analysis. Primary data are drawn from Scripture, particularly Matthew 9:35–38, while secondary sources include biblical theology, missiology, and the works of Abraham Kuyper, Herman Bavinck, and Klaas Schilder. The findings demonstrate that ergatai should not be restricted to ecclesiastical workers but includes all believers restored in the image of God and called to participate in His mission through diverse spheres of life. Within the Neo-Calvinist framework, the Great Commission and the Cultural Mandate are complementary dimensions of Christian calling. Consequently, professional work can function as a means of witnessing to the Kingdom of God in society. This study concludes that Matthew 9:37–38 calls the church to equip believers for faithful service both within ecclesiastical ministry and in the public sphere.   Interpretasi terhadap istilah ergatai (pekerja) dalam Matius 9:37–38 umumnya dipahami sebagai rujukan kepada pendeta, penginjil, atau misionaris yang terlibat dalam pelayanan gerejawi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kembali makna istilah tersebut melalui perspektif teologi Neo-Calvinisme untuk menjawab pertanyaan mengenai relevansinya bagi orang percaya dalam pekerjaan profesionalnya sebagai respons terhadap panggilan misi Allah. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan yang didukung analisis eksegetis, teologis, dan hermeneutik. Sumber data primer berasal dari Alkitab, khususnya Matius 9:35–38, sedangkan sumber data sekunder diperoleh dari literatur teologi biblika, misiologi, dan pemikiran Abraham Kuyper, Herman Bavinck, serta Klaas Schilder. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa istilah ergatai tidak terbatas pada pekerja gerejawi, melainkan mencakup seluruh orang percaya yang telah dipulihkan menurut gambar Allah dan dipanggil untuk berpartisipasi dalam misi-Nya melalui berbagai bidang kehidupan. Dalam kerangka Neo-Calvinisme, Amanat Agung dan Mandat Budaya dipahami sebagai dua aspek yang saling melengkapi dalam panggilan Kristen. Dengan demikian, pekerjaan profesional dapat menjadi sarana kesaksian Kerajaan Allah di tengah dunia. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa Matius 9:37–38 merupakan panggilan bagi gereja untuk mempersiapkan orang percaya agar melayani Kristus secara utuh, baik dalam pelayanan gerejawi maupun dalam ruang publik.
