Reconciliation in the New Testament is an important and interesting topic to discuss. Reconciliation is one of the important doctrines that Christians should understand, how God reconciles humans with Himself. This is believed by many people to lack understanding, due to the lack of books that specifically discuss reconciliation. In the Old Testament man reconciles himself to God, by offering atonement sacrifices to God. Thus humans are at peace with God. While the concept of reconciliation in the New Testament, God provides the atoning sacrifice through Jesus Christ. The importance of reconciliation for believers is to restore their relationship with the creator after being separated by sin, and to enjoy a beautiful fellowship with God without having to offer burnt sacrifices again. Abstrak: Rekonsiliasi dalam Perjanjian Baru merupakan topik yang penting dan menarik untuk dibahas. Rekonsiliasi merupakan salah satu doktrin penting yang semestinya dimengerti oleh orang Kristen, bagaimana Allah merekonsiliasi manusia dengan diriNya. Hal ini banyak orang percaya kurang memahami, disebabkan karena kurangnya buku yang membahas secara khusus tentang rekonsiliasi. Dalam Perjanjian Lama manusia merekonsiliasi dirinya dengan Allah, dengan mempersembahkan korban pendamaian kepada Tuhan. Dengan demikian manusia berdamai dengan Allah. Sedangkan konsep rekonsiliasi dalam Perjanjian Baru, Allah yang menyediakan korban pendamaian melalui Yesus Kristus. Pentingnya rekonsiliasi bagi orang percaya adalah memulihkan relasinya dengan sang pencipta setelah dipisahkan oleh dosa, dan menikmati kembali persekutuan yang indah bersama Tuhan tanpa harus mempersembahkan korban bakaran lagi.
The purpose of writing this article is to find out what strategies are used by the church in growing the congregation's interest in worship. This paper departs from the problems found by the author since serving the congregation in Kalimantan. The seriousness of the congregation in worship so far has been very insignificant, as a result the growth of the congregation's faith has decreased as explained in this article. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative research method by collecting data through interviews, empirical data, literature such as books and journal articles that can be trusted. The results obtained in this study are that the church must have a discipleship approach strategy, a realizational model and a counseling model. The three methods proposed by this author are very effective and significant in motivating the congregation to see the various problems experienced by the congregation, especially in worshiping in the church. Thus, the strategy used by the church so far needs a breakthrough because this will determine the congregation's interest in worship. Keywords: Strategy, Church, Congregation Interest, Worship, Discipleship
