Abstract

Amid globalization and digitalization, many contemporary churches are shifting from Gospel-centered values toward consumerism and digital image culture. Worship services are often turned into visual and emotional entertainment, neglecting the core substance of faith. This trend raises concerns about spiritual degradation and a crisis of identity within the church as a prophetic community. This study explores the theological meaning of Jesus Christ’s simplicity and its relevance for modern church transformation. Using a library research method and thematic exegesis of biblical texts and recent theological literature, the study finds that Jesus’ simplicity is not merely a moral lifestyle but a theological act of kenosis—a rejection of worldly power, luxury, and status. The theology of simplicity offers a constructive response to the erosion of church values through reflective liturgical renewal, ministry-centered leadership reform, and recalibrated digital strategies that emphasize spiritual depth and social witness. The study recommends that churches intentionally embrace the paradigm of Jesus’ simplicity as a framework for cultivating an authentic, transformative, and contextually relevant spiritual community amid the challenges of the modern era.

Abstract

This study analyzes the controversial phrase “divine offspring” (זֶרַע אֱלֹהִים, zeraʿ ʾĕlōhîm) in Malachi 2:15. Contrary to the common interpretation that only understands it as the biological procreation of children, this study argues that “divine offspring” is the telos (theological ultimate goal) of the marriage covenant itself. Using exegetical methods that focus on the lexical-syntactic analysis and the literary-historical context of Malachi 2:13-16, this article shows that divorce and infidelity are not only seen as violations of the social contract, but as acts that fundamentally sabotage God’s purpose of creating a godly and faithful covenant community. Divorce, for Malachi, is violence (חָמָס, ḥāmās) that destroys the foundation on which the “divine seed”—the generation living in obedience to Yahweh—can be raised. Thus, as will be shown, the stability of faithful monogamous marriage is not an end in itself, but rather an essential prerequisite for the fulfillment of the larger divine mandate for the post-exilic people.

Abstract

This study analyzes the use of tongues in congregational worship based on the theological perspective of 1 Corinthians 14:2-11. The main focus of the study is to assess whether the use of tongues brings edification or creates confusion among the congregation. Through a qualitative approach with a hermeneutic analysis method, this study found that tongues are only effective in building the faith of the congregation if accompanied by an interpretation that can be understood by all church members. Without interpretation, tongues are more likely to be confusing, especially for those who are new to worship, so that it can disrupt the church's testimony. Paul emphasized the importance of order and edification in worship, so the modern church needs to pay attention to these principles in worship practices. This study recommends practical guidance and theological training for church leaders and congregations to use the gift of tongues appropriately and wisely. Further studies are needed to explore the use of tongues in various contemporary church traditions in order to enrich theological understanding of biblical worship practices.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi Havruta, sebuah metode pembelajaran dialogis yang berakar pada tradisi intelektual Yahudi, dan relevansinya dengan pendidikan teologi Kristen kontemporer di Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui analisis tekstual dan studi kasus, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa Havruta secara efektif meningkatkan pemahaman teologis, keterampilan berpikir kritis, dialog konstruktif, dan pembentukan komunitas pembelajaran partisipatif. Secara teologis, Havruta mewujudkan epistemologi dialogis yang memperlakukan pembelajaran sebagai ruang untuk pertemuan rohani; secara pedagogis, ia mendorong pergeseran dari instruksi hierarkis ke keterlibatan yang egaliter dan reflektif. Studi kasus ini mengungkapkan bahwa mengintegrasikan Havruta ke dalam kelas teologi mendorong pengalaman belajar yang lebih dinamis, kolaboratif, dan berlandaskan konteks. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan pengembangan Havruta melalui integrasi kurikulum, pelatihan fasilitator, adaptasi digital, dan kontekstualisasi dengan nilai-nilai lokal Indonesia. Havruta disajikan sebagai model pedagogi transformatif yang mampu membentuk pemimpin rohani yang relevan, reflektif, dan dialogis untuk masyarakat pluralistik saat ini.
