Elijah's obedience is evident in his faithfulness to listen and obey God's commands. Through an understanding of the Biblical text, Elijah's obedience to God is analyzed in the context of perseverance, compliance, and complete trust in God's plan. This study also explores the relevance of Elijah's obedience for present-day believers. In a world filled with challenges and uncertainties, the lessons from Elijah's story provide inspiration about the importance of faith, obedience, and reliance on God. It offers a perspective that enriches how believers can lead their everyday lives with deep obedience to God's will, gaining strength and courage from their faith. This research reveals that Elijah's obedience reflects strong relevance for present-day believers, emphasizing the importance of strengthening the spiritual connection with God, following His will, and believing that obedience to Him brings blessings and protection.

Abstract

Judgment is the process of assessing a person's wrongdoing and determining an appropriate punishment, both in worldly and spiritual contexts. In Christianity, the Day of Judgment is when God fully reveals the truth and gives the final verdict on each individual's fate based on their deeds. The Book of Amos, written around the 750s BC by the prophet Amos, warns Israel that the "Day of the Lord," which they anticipated as a day of victory, would actually be a day of darkness and judgment because of their sins. This study examines the relevance of the teachings about the Day of Judgment in the Book of Amos (Amos 5:18-20) to contemporary Christian life. Amos' message emphasizes the importance of living righteously, avoiding sin, and treating others with justice and love. These teachings serve as a guide for Christians to live meaningful and responsible lives before God and others

Abstract

Cultural issues cannot be separated from the church planting process. This research uses a literature detective method to analyze cultural and cross-cultural problems seen in church planting. The church, as a religious institution with a long history, continues to transform with changing times. Church planting, as the process of establishing a new community, is not only about physical construction, but also organizing a community of faith. In this process, culture has an important role, bringing challenges and opportunities that need to be understood scientifically. Culture plays a significant role in church planting. Cultural influences can pose challenges, such as differences in values, traditions, and social norms that can hinder acceptance of new religious messages. However, cross-culturalism in church planting also carries great potential to facilitate the spread of the gospel and win the hearts of local residents through an approach that understands local culture. With wise strategy and proper contextualization, the church can bridge the gospel and culture in its mission.
