This study examines the theological significance of miracles in the Gospel of John within the framework of New Testament studies and their function as signs that lead people to knowledge of and faith in Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God. Within a Christological framework, in the Gospel of John, miracles are presented selectively as theological signs designed to foster and affirm faith in Jesus Christ as the Messiah and the Son of God. This research adopts a qualitative methodology, utilizing a literature review and theological analysis of the miracle narratives in the Gospel of John. The analysis is conducted with particular attention to the Gospel's narrative structure and its declared purpose (John 20:30–31). The study's results demonstrate that the Gospel of John selectively presents certain miracles as signs imbued with deep theological meaning. These miracles not only manifest divine power but also disclose Jesus's identity and guide readers toward faith. The miracles in the Gospel of John should not be interpreted solely as supernatural events, but as instruments of divine revelation designed to cultivate and form faith. Faith constitutes the primary response to these signs, directing readers to confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through faith in Him, eternal life is obtained.

The attitude of Christians to live righteously and live holy is very necessary amidst the lives of people who live evil and unclean lives. Roman Emperors and their followers in ancient times rejected John's prophecies written in the Book of Revelation, so they continued to carry out evil and dirty deeds. Likewise, some members of the Christian congregation in Asia Minor were unwilling to endure suffering because of it offended Jesus Christ through their sinful actions. Christians were constantly intimidated into denying Jesus, so that some did not faithfully follow Jesus to the point of death. The aim of this research is to encourage readers and listeners of the essence of the Book of Revelation not to do evil and unclean things in their lives. The research methodology used is qualitative research with a literature research approach. The result obtained is that if Christian educators become more loyal in teaching Christians (Christian students) in educational institutions, then Christian students will increasingly free themselves from the evil and uncleanness they once practiced. Conclusion: Christians (Christian students) must be taught continuously through the word of God to experience repentance, live righteously, live holy, and not to deny Jesus Christ in their lives.

This article discusses the importance of developing a Christian Religious Education (PAK) model based on Christian theology and implemented through the active role of the church in carrying out the Great Commission. True Christian education does not only convey doctrinal information, but also forms the character, spirituality, and calling of the people based on the word of God. The church is positioned as a learning community and the main implementer of the contextual, transformative, and biblical theology-rooted faith education process. Through a qualitative-descriptive approach and literature study, this paper emphasizes that theological foundations, such as God as the source of education, the Bible as the basis of teaching, Christ as the focus, and the church as the implementer, are inseparable elements of PAK. Christian Religious Education based on theology provides clear direction in designing content, methods, and learning objectives that are in line with God's will. Thus, this education model is expected to be able to answer the challenges of the times, strengthen the faith of the congregation, and produce strong and relevant followers of Christ in society.  

Etymologically, Masjid comes from the word “سَجَدَ” (Sajada), in Arabic meaning “prostration” or “submission” to Allah Swt, this word reflects the act of prostration, which is putting the forehead, hands, knees, and feet to the ground in respect and obedience. Historically, the term Masjid is also found in inscriptions from the 5th century BC as Masgid, meaning “Sacred Pillar” or “Place of Worship”.

Congregation members are God's people who should be cared for and shepherded by the pastor of the congregation. Because without being shepherded well and responsibly, God's people are easily influenced to carry out and maintain a culture of belief that is contrary to the truth of God's Word. Indeed, the truth of God's Word is the main source for organizing human life in the world, including the people of God in the Indonesian Faithful Christian Church (GKSI) Sebangar Congregation, Kuala Behe ​​District. In order for God's people in the GKSI Sebangar Congregation, especially the young men and women who are old to marry well without violating customary laws relevant to God's Word, the pastor's responsibility in shepherding is needed to be maximal and optimal.

This study aims to describe the Belangin mapak pue tetek mando traditional marriage in the Sebangar area. The researcher used qualitative methods through observation, interviews, and literature review.

Muslims were created by Allah in the best possible form. Maintaining God's creation can be done with various efforts, one of which is sports which are related to regulating emotions and diet to improve physical fitness. The healthier our body is, the more comfortable it is to worship Allah. Talking about physical education, which is commonly known as physical education, is closely related to health. Health is the most precious gift from Allah because of the blessings that are needed in a person's life, including in terms of worshiping Allah. Therefore, it is very important to maintain health through exercise that can improve body fitness. So if we relate it to extracurricular activities in school, we can see how karate is able to improve the physical fitness of karateka (people who follow karate) towards their worship of Allah with the target of students in elementary schools with various age ranges. Through the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) method, conclusions can be drawn that the use of karate extracurricular can fit the body and have an impact on body health and focus on worshipping Allah.

The hope is to make yourself aware of how important the level of fitness in the body is through karate extracurricular at school and also help make school institutions and coaches who have professional abilities in the field of karate proud

Every Sunday, the church holds a sermon, but it’s only one-way. In order to ensure that God’s Word is applied by the congregation, community life within the church is the most effective way. In a cell community there is a 3P process (Shepherding, Discipleship, and Outreach). A cell group leader who has a Shepherd’s Heart is a very influential key to the success of 3P. By forming a core team within the group, new potential leaders will emerge in the cell community, so the discipleship process can be said to be successful. There is no “one man show” in a healthy cell community. In this case, the intrinsic factor of a leader (having a personal relationship with God) plays a major role in the successful growth of cell community members. It cannot be denied that God gives growth (Corinthians 3:6-8). 3P is also influence by extrinsic factors (the relationship between the leaders and members), where a leader is expected to be a mentor who provides exemplary with the goal of bringing members into a right relatonship with God, building to full maturity in Christ, so that they can multiply the whole process in others as well.  

Divorce is a reality that occurs in the church with various complex causal factors ranging from economic problems, domestic violence, infidelity, quarrels and several other causes. Divorce causes deep emotional wounds and various deviant behaviors in both children and their parents. Children become sensitive individuals, easily angered, depressed and even have suicidal tendencies. This research was conducted at five GBIs located in West Jakarta. The research sources were five people from teenagers to adults whose parents were divorced. This type of research is field research and the author uses qualitative methods. The research results show that divorce is indiscriminate, it can happen to congregations and servants of God. The divorce that occurred in five GBIs gave rise to complex deviant behavior such as LGBT and suicidal thoughts. The author's findings show that the problem of parental divorce does not cause children to abandon their worship as much as 80% of respondents and only 20% have a major impact. Meanwhile, at school, there was no visible decline in children's grades. As many as 80% of respondents showed good enthusiasm for learning and achieving achievements at school. The remaining 20% ​​of their learning achievement decreased. From this analysis it can be concluded that the impact of divorce on children's worship and school grades is very small.

Confusion among Christians about the concept of salvation by God through Jesus Christ can disrupt their faith. Therefore, churches need to develop anticipatory strategies to overcome this phenomenon, one of which is through preaching. Effective faith-building preaching should be Christocentric, focusing on Jesus as the center of teaching. To achieve this, two conditions must be met: first, a hermeneutic perspective oriented towards Jesus, since this will influence the homiletic methods used; second, biblical readings that support that focus, in which the lexionary is designed to be gospel-centered. Finding the relationship between Christocentric hermeneutics and lexionary is essential to assess the extent to which these two elements can strengthen the faith of the congregation. Biblical and field research shows that both Jesus and his disciples applied a Christocentric approach to Bible reading and teaching. Luke 24:25-27 shows that Jesus is the central figure of the preaching in the Torah, the prophets, and the Psalms. Because in Luke 24:44 Jesus emphasizes the importance of reading the Bible with a Christocentric perspective. Colossians 1:15-20 is an example that shows the connection of this perspective to the theme of God's creation and salvation. The results of the study also showed that the cristocentric perspective was valid both in the context of Christian hermeneutics and in general, with survey analysis showing a positive correlation between Christocentric hermeneutics and lexionary sermons intended for congregations.
