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

This article is a hermeneutical reading of John 15:1-8 in dialogue with the lived experiences of the youth of GKST Anugerah Lena Congregation. The study arises from the reality that young Christians live amid social change, economic pressures, and educational and occupational mobility that influence their participation in church life. Previous studies on John 15:1-8 have largely focused on Christology, the symbolism of the vine, and individual spirituality, while the contextual appropriation of the text within church communities has received less attention. This research employs a hermeneutical method with a qualitative-descriptive approach through textual analysis of John 15:1-8 and interviews with church youth. The findings show that Jesus as the True Vine is understood as the source of life, spiritual growth, and fruitfulness. Abiding in Christ is interpreted as a continuous relationship sustained through faithfulness amid life's challenges. Furthermore, fruitfulness is understood not only as an individual spiritual quality but also as participation in ministry, solidarity, and responsibility toward the church community.

Abstract

Generation Z is a generation born and raised in the digital era, making technology an inseparable part of their daily lives. While technological advancements provide easier access to information and spiritual resources, they also present challenges such as digital distractions, digital addiction, diminished capacity for reflection, and increasing psychological and spiritual pressures. This article aims to examine contemplative practices as a means of fostering the spirituality of Generation Z amid the dynamics of the digital age. The study employs a literature review method by analyzing various sources on the characteristics of Generation Z, the impact of digital technology on spiritual life, and the concept of contemplation within the Christian tradition. The findings indicate that contemplation can serve as a space for cultivating silence, self-awareness, faith reflection, and a deeper relationship with God. Contemplative practices may be expressed through creative prayer, the Examen of Consciousness, digital detox, reflection through art and physical activity, social service, as well as the use of digital applications and online communities that support spiritual growth. When technology is used wisely, the digital era can also become an opportunity to cultivate a reflective, authentic, and contextually relevant spirituality for Generation Z.

Abstract

The emergence of digital and algorithmic culture has significantly transformed ethical decision-making within the church in contemporary society. This article examines ecclesial ethical discernment through Paul Tillich’s method of correlation in the context of the Gereja Masehi Injili di Minahasa (GMIM). Using a constructive theological approach, the study argues that algorithmic culture is not merely a technological framework but an existential condition shaping ecclesial authority, moral perception, and theological reflection. The church exists within tensions between empirical digital realities (das Sein) and normative Christian ideals (das Sollen). Algorithmic logic characterized by virality, visibility, and engagement increasingly influences ethical judgments and creates new forms of moral ambiguity within church life. This article proposes the Digital Ecclesial Ethical Discernment (DEED) model as a framework integrating existential digital challenges with Christian ethical norms such as agape, veritas, dikaiosyne, responsibility, and imago Dei. The model offers a structured and contextual approach for ecclesial ethical decision-making within contemporary digital transformation.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has transformed the way people communicate, build relationships, and experience spirituality, particularly among Generation Z as digital natives. This transformation challenges the church to rethink its ministry practices, including worship practices that integrate physical and digital spaces. This study aims to analyze hybrid worship as a space for digital spirituality among Generation Z at Gereja Batak Karo Protestan (GBKP) Yogyakarta. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation involving pastors, multimedia ministry teams, and Generation Z members actively participating in hybrid worship. The findings indicate that hybrid worship is not merely a technological adaptation after the COVID-19 pandemic but has become a new space for spiritual experience, community connection, and active participation in church ministry. Generation Z does not perceive digital worship as a replacement for physical worship but as an extension of faith experience that provides flexibility and maintains connection with the church community. Through dialogue with James Emery White’s perspective on Generation Z, Elizabeth Drescher’s concept of digital spirituality, and the idea of networked ministry, this study proposes the model of hybrid spirituality for Generation Z, consisting of three dimensions: authentic spiritual experience, digital spirituality, and participatory network ministry. This model emphasizes that the church in the digital era is called not only to utilize technology as a ministry tool but also to create spaces where Generation Z can encounter God, build community, and actively participate in the life and mission of the church.
