This study aims to develop a strategy for developing praise and worship services through a deeper biblical theology of Psalm 150, as a fundamental solution for congregational growth at YHS Eka Sinta Church in Kapuas Regency. The main premise of this study is based on the crucial disconnect between contemporary church music practices, which tend to be performative, and the essence of the doxology authoritatively contained in the text Scripture. By integrating descriptive qualitative methods and an exegetical biblical theology approach, this study explores the imperative meaning and poetic structure of Psalm 150 and then engages them in intercultural dialogue with the sociocultural context of local churches in Kalimantan. The results reveal that the biblical theology Psalm 150 emphasizes the totality of instrumental use and the universality of the subject of praise as an absolute reflection of God's sovereignty and might. Field findings indicate that the effectiveness of music services is often hampered by technical limitations and theological shallowness of liturgical ministers. This study concludes that healthy congregational growth, both in terms of spiritual quality and quantity, is rooted in the extent to which the church able to actualize biblical theological values ​​in expressions of praise that are relevant and resonate with the cultural background and local identity of its congregation. The resulting strategy offers a holistic ministry model, in which church music returns to its essential function as an instrument of faith transformation and a means of growing the Kingdom of God, adaptively yet faithful to the biblical text.

Perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi yang pesat di Indonesia telah mendorong pertumbuhan industri secara signifikan. Meskipun memberikan dampak positif terhadap peningkatan perekonomian masyarakat, pertumbuhan industri juga menimbulkan dampak negatif apabila tidak diiringi dengan pengelolaan lingkungan yang baik, seperti pencemaran dan kerusakan lingkungan hidup. Salah satu solusi yang dapat diterapkan dalam mengurangi dampak tersebut adalah pengelolaan limbah cair melalui sistem Instalasi Pengolahan Air Limbah (IPAL). PT. X, sebagai perusahaan BUMN, turut berkontribusi dalam pengelolaan lingkungan melalui penerapan IPAL. Fokus IPAL di PT. X meliputi perencanaan dan rekayasa instalasi, audit dan inspeksi sistem air, serta monitoring dan pengujian kualitas limbah, khususnya limbah domestik. Limbah domestik, yang berasal dari aktivitas rumah tangga seperti air bekas mandi, mencuci, dan dapur, diolah melalui metode IPAL agar dapat dimanfaatkan kembali untuk keperluan non-konsumsi, seperti penyiraman tanaman dan irigasi. Pengolahan ini menjadi langkah strategis dalam mendukung pembangunan industri yang ramah lingkungan dan berkelanjutan.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Kemasantani Village have considerable potential in developing cassava-based products using MOCAF flour, particularly Antari chips. However, limited brand identity, unattractive packaging, and the underutilization of digital marketing have constrained product competitiveness and revenue growth. This community service program aimed to strengthen branding and optimize digital marketing strategies to support MSME revenue growth. A qualitative participatory approach was employed through surveys, interviews, observations, documentation, and direct assistance in brand identity development, packaging redesign, and social media management. The results indicate improvements in product image, packaging attractiveness, and market reach through digital platforms. The integrated application of branding and digital marketing successfully increased consumer engagement and led to an approximate 35% increase in MSME revenue within a three-month period. These findings suggest that strategic branding and digital marketing are effective approaches for enhancing competitiveness and ensuring the sustainability of locally based MSMEs in rural areas.

This study aims to analyze the contribution and potential of the Lampung Province tourism sector to national economic growth in the 2020-2025 period. Using a quantitative descriptive approach using the Location Quotient (LQ) and Shift Share methods, this study processes secondary data on Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) at constant prices from the Central Statistics Agency. The analysis shows that although Lampung's macroeconomic performance is still dominated by the primary sector, the tourism sector, particularly the accommodation and food and beverage subsector, has demonstrated post-pandemic resilience with a significant positive growth trend. In 2024, the GRDP value of this subsector at the provincial level reached IDR 4,616.76 billion, with strategic areas such as Bandar Lampung City confirming the accommodation sector as a base sector (LQ > 1) with a high competitive advantage. The integration of a creative economy based on local wisdom, such as the use of Tapis cloth and digital marketing, has been proven to increase the attractiveness of destinations, capable of driving the volume of domestic tourist trips to reach 17.87 million trips by 2024. This finding confirms that Lampung's tourism sector is not only a regional economic driver, but also makes a substantial contribution to national income through a multiplier effect on job creation and increasing domestic foreign exchange. Optimizing collaboration between policymakers and accelerating infrastructure development are key to strengthening the strategic position of Lampung tourism in the future.

This study aims to analyze the factors determining the growth of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia through a literature review approach. MSMEs make a significant contribution to the national economy, but their growth still faces various structural barriers. Based on the results of the literature review, it was found that access to capital, human resource quality, managerial capacity, innovation, digitalization, marketing strategies, and government policies are the main factors influencing MSME growth. Limited capital and low financial literacy are dominant obstacles that hinder business expansion. Furthermore, weak managerial capacity and digital competency prevent many MSMEs from optimally exploiting market opportunities. Innovation and the use of digital technology have been proven to increase efficiency and marketing reach, but the adoption rate remains low. External factors such as government regulations, simplified licensing, and support from empowerment programs also play a significant role in creating a conducive business climate. This study emphasizes that MSME development requires a comprehensive approach that integrates internal aspects of business actors and structural government support. The research results are expected to serve as a reference for academics, policymakers, and MSME actors in formulating more effective development strategies.

This research examines the influence of road infrastructure development on local economic growth in Medan City, emphasizing its role in improving accessibility and supporting economic activities. Road infrastructure is a vital component of regional development, as it facilitates the movement of goods and services, reduces transportation costs, and enhances connectivity between economic centers. Well-developed road networks can stimulate business expansion and encourage investment by creating a more efficient economic environment. The study employed a descriptive quantitative approach using field surveys involving 20 respondents, including business actors, local residents, and government representatives. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed descriptively to capture perceptions regarding the economic impact of road infrastructure development. The results indicate that improvements in road quality, capacity, and connectivity have a positive influence on local economic growth. Respondents reported increased trade activities, improved access to markets, higher investment opportunities, and rising community income levels as direct benefits of improved road infrastructure. However, the study also identified several challenges that may hinder long-term economic outcomes. Traffic congestion, uneven infrastructure development across areas, and inadequate routine maintenance were highlighted as significant issues. These problems can reduce efficiency and limit the sustainability of economic gains. Therefore, continuous government commitment, effective maintenance strategies, and equitable distribution of infrastructure development are essential. Strengthening coordination among stakeholders is also necessary to ensure that road infrastructure development supports inclusive and sustainable local economic growth in Medan City.

Poverty is still a major problem in regional economic development in Jambi Province, although economic growth has been relatively stable in recent years. This condition shows that economic growth has not been fully followed by an equitable distribution of development results. This study aims to analyze the influence of economic growth and income inequality on the poverty rate in Jambi Province. The research uses a quantitative approach with district/city panel data for the 2015–2024 period sourced from the Central Statistics Agency. The analysis was carried out using the panel data regression method to test the relationship between economic growth variables, income inequality, and poverty levels. The results of the study show that economic growth measured through the growth rate of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GDP) has a negative effect on the poverty rate, meaning that increasing economic growth can reduce the number of poor people. On the other hand, income inequality measured by the Gini Ratio has a positive effect on poverty levels, which means that the higher the income inequality, the greater the poverty rate. These findings indicate that poverty reduction strategies not only require sustainable economic growth, but must also be accompanied by income equity policies so that the benefits of development can be felt more inclusively by all levels of society.

Further analysis suggests that green practices can contribute to increased income levels, improved social welfare, and enhanced productivity, while simultaneously supporting environmental sustainability. From a practical perspective, the study highlights the importance of greater community participation, stronger policy commitment from the government, and increased green innovation by corporate entities. Theoretically, the results support existing economic and sustainability theories that emphasize the role of green economy strategies in fostering resilient, inclusive, and equitable economic growth. Overall, this study reinforces the relevance of green economy initiatives as a viable pathway toward sustainable national development.

Education has long been recognized as a primary determinant of economic progress and human development , yet in the context of a global economy characterized by rapid technological change and the sustainability imperative, the focus shifts from the mere quantity of investment to its effectiveness in fostering sustainable economic growth. Current education systems face significant challenges, including a persistent global "learning crisis" , governance inefficiencies , and a misalignment between curricula and the demands of the labor market, particularly the green and digital economies. Given that existing literature often treats education investment as a static input and fails to holistically integrate sustainability and governance into the optimization process , this conceptual article aims to bridge these theoretical and empirical gaps by proposing an integrated model for the optimization of education investment for sustainable economic growth. The method involves a conceptual analysis that synthesizes human capital theory , endogenous growth theory , and the economics of sustainability , emphasizing the roles of governance, innovation, and inclusivity as mediating factors. The key finding of the study indicates that optimization necessitates a paradigm shift from input-oriented budgeting toward an outcome-based investment framework that holistically balances three crucial dimensions: efficiency (maximizing learning outcomes) , equity (ensuring inclusive access) , and relevance (alignment with sustainability needs). The resulting policy implications are delineated across the Macro (fiscal integration and sustainability strategies through performance-based funding) , Meso (institutions transform into adaptive innovation centers) , and Micro (enhancement of reskilling, upskilling, and human capital capacity) levels; by achieving this alignment, education successfully transitions from a cost center to a strategic catalyst driving sustained prosperity.
