Preaching the Good News is the duty of every believer of all ages as been mandated in the Bible. This Great Commission has to be carried out faithfully by followers of Jesus Christ. In this era of disruption, which is closely related to fundamental changes in all aspects of human life, the mandate is still relevant. In addition, the Gospel must deliver with sound content and a contextual approach. However, the reality on the ground is that there is no Christian spiritual content that can convey the gospel message positively for millennials. Therefore, this research seeks to examine evangelistic content that is relevant to the millennial generation. This research uses a case study method that can use as a global understanding. The study results show that the millennial generation is interested in Instagram as a content source, which YouTube and WhatsApp follow. However, this interest is not following by content relevant to the Millennials generation's language
The anomaly of Jonah's attitude in rejecting God's call (Jonah 1) and his anger at Nineveh's conversion caused various opinions on the genre of his book. This encourages the need to produce new findings to narrow the view of experts by placing the book of Jonah as satire literature. The purpose of this research is to describe the satire elements contained in the prologue and epilogue of the book of Jonah. The method used in this research is a narrative approach using a modified method that departs from the four narrative elements namely the narrator, character (characterization), point of view, and storyline then combined with some elements of general interpretation in it. through the narrative analysis method, the researcher sees the text as a "mirror" that projects a certain picture, namely the world of narratives that provides benefits to explore the forms and elements of the prologue and epilogical satire texts of the book of Jonah. The results showed that Irony underlies all elements of satire spread in articles 1 and 4. Researchers classify the elements of irony as personification, repetition, hyperbole, sarcasm, paronomasia, and parody. These characteristics indicate Jonah 1 and 4 are narratives containing satire. The implication of the teaching of the church by referring to the didactic values in the satire of the story of Satire Jonah can be used as a reference for learning the truth of God's Word. Abstrak Anomali sikap Yunus dalam menolak panggilan Tuhan (Yunus 1) dan kemarahannya pada pertobatan Niniwe menimbulkan beragam pendapat pada genre kitabnya. Hal ini mendorong adanya kebutuhan untuk menghasilkan temuan baru guna mempersempit pandangan para pakar dengan menempatkan kitab Yunus sebagai sastra satire. Tujuan dilakukan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan unsur satire yang terdapat dalam prolog dan epilog kitab Yunus. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan naratif menggunakan modifikasi metode yang berangkat dari empat unsur narasi yaitu narator, karakter (penokohan), sudut pandang, dan alur cerita lalu dikombinasikan dengan beberapa elemen penafsiran umum di dalamnya. melalui metode analisis naratif peneliti melihat teks sebagai sebuah “cermin” yang memproyeksikan gambaran tertentu, yaitu dunia narasi yang memberikan manfaat untuk mengeksplorasi bentuk dan unsur satire teks prolog dan epilog dari kitab Yunus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Ironi mendasari semua unsur satire yang tersebar di pasal 1 dan 4. Peneliti mengelompokkan unsur ironi adalah personifikasi, repetisi, hiperbola, sarkasme, paronomosia dan parodi. Karakteristik ini mengindikasikan Yunus 1 dan 4 adalah narasi yang mengandung satire. Implikasinya terhadap pengajaran gereja dengan merujuk pada nilai-nilai didaktis dalam satire kisah Satire Yunus dapat dijadikan rujukan untuk mempelajari kebenaran Firman Tuhan.
This paper explores the issue of preaching to God, the Church, and the powers presented by Charles L. Campbell, where we learn that reading and interpreting Colossians and Ephesians (and indeed the whole New Testament) through the lens of Empire opens up the depths of interpretation and understanding which is not obvious, otherwise. What the New Testament writers penned spoke to the world around them, including the visual cues (art, temples, monuments, coins, festivals), values, politics, economics, faith (especially Emperor cult worship), and the realities of daily life within the Roman Empire. The New Testament writers understood the existence of the three powers (God, the Church, and the spirits or powers). Their daily lives were shaped by all kinds of forces that befall them, and the reality of these forces permeates their writing. The ultimate purpose is we are invited to examine (discern), enumerate, and speak loudly against the rulers, spirits in the air, and the governments of injustice that rule in this world with the power of the one ruler, the Way, which has another Kingdom overcoming the imperial Empire.
Budaya yang muncul di Jawa bersifat turun menurun dan mengikat pada kehidupan sehari-hari. Kekentalan budaya menjadikannya sebagai ajaran yang dikenal sebagai kejawen. Tradisi telah ada sebelum penyebaran agama berlangsung di tanah Jawa, sehingga masyarakat akan lebih cenderung untuk terus melakukan tradisi yang ada meskipun tidak sesuai dengan ajaran Injil. Oleh sebab itu, munculah berbagai metode yang digunakan untuk menjadikan manusia sebagai pribadi yang taat beragama dan berbudaya. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan dengan analisis pengamatan terhadap kehidupan jemaat Kristen di Dusun Bendungan Kulon Desa Ngablak melalui media wawancara menggunakan konsep inkarnasi. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan dengan adanya tradisi (kejawen) tingkat keimanan seseorang dapat menjadi lebih tinggi menggunakan konsep yang hampir sama dengan kemanunggalan sebagai cara mendekatkan diri kepada Tuhan yang dapat menimbulkan ketenangan saat melakukan pendekatan diri pada Tuhan itu sendiri.
Abstract. Reader's response method is a method of reading text that is corrective to the structuralist method. To some degree, however, the meaning and its usage this method has some flaws. In general understanding, the use of the reader’s response method creates a desire to simply ignore the voices of the author of the text itself. As a result, this may potentially create a long gap between the writer and the reader in a work of finding the meaning. This paper aimed at explaining the conventions of language and of meaning that occur between writers and readers of the text, which is taken from Eric J Douglass' reconciliatory (stabilizing) approach to the author’s voice and reader activity. Reading and writing texts that embrace the side of readers and writers will bring about a more creative and rich meaning.Abstrak. Metode reader’s response adalah metode membaca teks yang korektif terhadap metode strukturalis. Namun, pengertian dan penggunaan dalam intensitas tertentu terhadap metode ini bukan berarti tidak mengandung beberapa masalah. Dalam pemahaman umum penggunaan metode reader’s response menimbulkan hasrat untuk begitu saja mengabaikan suara-suara penulis teks itu sendiri. Hal ini menjadikan gap yang panjang antara penulis dan pembaca di dalam sebuah perjalanan pencarian makna. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan tentang konvensi bahasa dan makna yang terjadi di antara penulis serta pembaca teks yang ditempuh dengan pendekatan rekonsiliatif (stabilisasi) Eric J. Douglass terhadap suara penulis dan keaktifan pembaca. Pembacaan dan penulisan teks yang merangkul sisi pembaca dan penulis akan menghasilkan makna-makna yang lebih kreatif dan kaya.
