Abstract

This study presents a biblical-theological exploration of Jesus as the Messiah by examining key New Testament passages that reveal His identity, mission, and redemptive authority. The purpose of the research is to clarify how the Gospel of Matthew integrates faith, salvation, and healing within the ministry of Jesus, while also demonstrating the continuity between Old Testament covenant promises and their fulfillment in Christ. Using a qualitative biblical-theology method, the study conducts textual analysis, canonical tracing, thematic synthesis, and comparative evaluation of selected passages from the Gospels and Acts.The findings affirm that Scripture consistently portrays Jesus as the promised Messiah and the divine Son of Man who possesses authority to forgive sins and bring holistic restoration. Faith in Christ is shown to be the foundation for both salvation and healing, revealing the unity of God’s redemptive work. The study concludes that recognizing Jesus as the Messiah is essential for understanding the fullness of God’s saving activity. This research contributes to theological scholarship by offering an integrated perspective that connects Christ’s healing ministry, covenant fulfillment, and salvific mission within the broader canonical narrative.

Abstract

The modern ecological crisis is fundamentally driven by anthropocentric paradigms that exploit the biosphere. Addressing this challenge, this study utilizes the theological frameworks of Khalīfah fīl-Arḍ in Islam and Imago Dei in Christianity as its central units of analysis to construct an applicable interfaith environmental ethics model. Employing a qualitative, comparative theological-philosophical approach through library research, this study systematically analyzes classical and contemporary Qur'anic exegeses, biblical texts, and official church documents. The analysis reveals a vital conceptual intersection: both Abrahamic traditions strictly deconstruct despotic anthropocentrism by redefining human authority not as absolute ownership, but as derivative, accountable stewardship (amanah). The core novelty of this research lies in its transition from passive, compartmentalized dogmatic comparisons to an integrated "theo-ecocentric" paradigm that binds ecological preservation with absolute spiritual devotion. Ultimately, this study contributes a robust moral foundation and pragmatic, cross-religious action plans—such as eco-places of worship and interfaith environmental alliances—bridging the gap between sacred texts and practical biosphere restoration.

Abstract

Pendidikan Agama Kristen (PAK) di Indonesia menghadapi tantangan kompleks seiring transformasi kota-kota besar menuju konsep smart city yang berbasis teknologi digital, di tengah tuntutan untuk tetap menghadirkan pembelajaran yang humanis dan sensitif terhadap keragaman budaya (multikultural). Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi pedagogik dan teologis guru PAK dan Budi Pekerti dalam merancang serta mengembangkan pembelajaran yang relevan dengan era smart city tanpa kehilangan dimensi humanis dan kepekaan multikultural. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada tanggal 2 Juni 2026 bertempat di Gedung Sekretariat Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran (MGMP) Pendidikan Agama Kristen dan Budi Pekerti se-Kota Surabaya, diikuti oleh guru-guru PAK dari berbagai jenjang pendidikan di Kota Surabaya. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan edukatif-partisipatif, yang memadukan ceramah interaktif, diskusi kelompok, curah pendapat (brainstorming), studi kasus, dan simulasi perancangan pembelajaran berbasis teknologi digital. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan empat capaian utama, yaitu: (1) peningkatan pemahaman guru mengenai konsep dan implikasi smart city terhadap pembelajaran PAK; (2) penguatan kesadaran dan keterampilan guru dalam menghadirkan pendekatan humanis di tengah pembelajaran berbasis teknologi; (3) tumbuhnya kompetensi guru dalam merancang pembelajaran PAK yang responsif terhadap keragaman budaya, suku, dan latar belakang peserta didik; serta (4) terbentuknya komitmen kolektif MGMP untuk mengembangkan model pembelajaran PAK yang inovatif, kontekstual, dan berkelanjutan. Kegiatan ini memberikan kontribusi nyata bagi peningkatan mutu pendidikan agama Kristen di Kota Surabaya serta memperkuat sinergi antara perguruan tinggi dan komunitas guru dalam merespons tantangan pendidikan abad ke-21.

Abstract

The thesis entitled, "Analysis of the Impact of Worship Based on John 4:23 on the Spiritual Growth of the GBI Patuha Bandung Congregation."John 4:23 can provide the teachings of the Lord Jesus about worship and the extent of its impact on the spiritual growth of the congregation. The research aims to explore how worship in the context of church services affects spiritual growth, including heart transformation, spiritual renewal, and character development in Christ. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach to analyze the impact of worship based on John 4:23 on the spiritual growth of the congregation at Gereja Bethel Indonesia (GBI) Patuha, Bandung. Data were collected through interviews with leaders, activists, and church workers, as well as direct observations in the field. The results show that worship, as described in John 4:24, is a vital aspect of the spiritual life of the GBI Patuha congregation. The church has undergone significant transformation by shifting its focus from teaching to worship, with the aim of deepening a personal relationship with God. Worship is not only an emotional activity but also a means to strengthen faith, renew the spirit, and shape Christ-like character in the lives of the congregation. Worship grounded in the Word of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit positively impacts the church community, encouraging active service and devotion to God and others. The congregation experiences heart transformation and spiritual renewal, which strengthens their relationship with God. Furthermore, worship focused on God encourages the congregation to live in humility, love, and obedience, as well as increasing their enthusiasm for serving. Innovations such as providing digital worship platforms also extend the church’s reach and enhance congregational involvement. This study also recommends the development of more structured worship training to deepen theological understanding and correct worship practices according to biblical principles.
