This article was written to describe the theological understanding of work among church youth and motivate youth to work according to God's word from Ephesians 6:5-8. This article aims to provide an understanding of what the purpose of human work is, provide an understanding of the Biblical concept of work, deepen the knowledge and understanding of congregation members about work theology according to Ephesians 6:5-8 with integrity and a good work ethic, provide an understanding of the contribution of Ephesians 6:5-8 in the relationship between workers and employers. The researcher uses a literature study and interprets the text with the method of theological interpretation. In addition, the author also distributed a questionnaire among church youth who had worked, to obtain a picture of their understanding of work theology. From the results of the questionnaire distributed, it was found that 42.22% of youth really understand work theology, and 52.77%, understand work theology, but in its application, only 37.22% always do the correct life application. So, the researcher conducted deep interviews with several respondents and found that the youth of the HKBP Tanjung Sari church were still lacking in understanding the theology of work. And then they had to be afraid and trembled like Christ and had to be honest and have integrity at workplaces as a service to God.

Shepherding is not in the form of ministry but how we convey the content of the gospel to the congregation well. It is clear that in the delivery of the gospel requires a good communication skills. But in the pastoring of public communication does not solve the solution.Hence, shepherding communication aims to develop and foster awareness of good communication as a vital tool that determines the success of an authoritative shepherd, who is respected, loved and cherished by the congregation for being able to create a good atmosphere between himself as a servant of God with church members as God's people and society at large in the ministry.Pastoral communication is anything to do with pastoral methods and approaches to create mutual understanding between shepherd and congregation members as well as among members of the congregation with pastors within the scope of the local church service.The importance of improving communication in shepherding is not only necessary for the underprivileged, but talking about pastoral communication means talking about a skill for someone to convey a message. So pastoral communication is required by every pastor, elder and other minister of God who is fluent or not equipped to be equipped with the ability to convey messages.

Abstract. This article aimed to discuss issues that arise in dealing with the presence of God in the virtual communion in the homes of congregation members, during the Covid-19 pandemic from a biblical perspective. The problem is, is there a strong biblical basis that supports the understanding that God is present in the Eucharistic celebration which is practiced virtually by the pastor in the church without a physical presence of the congregation? The research method used to solve this problem was a qualitative research method by collecting library data from both books and journals in exploring the meaning of John 4:21-24. Through this discussion, the author offered a new biblical theological perspective on the presence of God, which transcends the limits of time and place in virtual Eucharistic ministry. God is Spirit. He cannot be limited by space and time. He is free to be present wherever He wishes.Abstrak. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menyoroti persoalan yang timbul berkaitan dengan kehadiran Allah dalam Perjamuan Kudus virtual di rumah warga jemaat pada masa pandemi Covid-19 secara biblikal. Persoalannya adalah, apakah ada dasar biblis yang kuat, yang mendukung pandangan bahwa Allah hadir dalam perayaan Perjamuan Kudus yang dilakukan secara virtual oleh pendeta di gereja tanpa kehadiran jemaat secara fisik? Metode penelitian yang dipakai untuk memecahkan persoalan itu adalah metode penelitian kualitatif dengan menghimpun data kepustakaan baik dari buku maupun jurnal untuk menggali makna teks Yohanes 4:21-24. Melalui pembahasan itu, penulis menawarkan suatu perspektif baru secara biblis tentang kehadiran Allah, yang melampaui batas waktu dan tempat dalam pelayanan perjamuan kudus secara virtual. Allah itu Roh. Ia tidak bisa dibatasi oleh ruang dan waktu. Ia bebas hadir di mana pun Ia berkehendak.

This chapter introduces a method for identifying and analyzing ethical questions by exploring the meanings and uses of a synagogue food garden. A midwestern American synagogue community experienced tensions regarding the demolition and renovation of its historic building. Utilitarian considerations clashed with other community values. To help repair tensions, some congregation members turned to Jewish ethical concerns with the environment and community and created a food garden on synagogue property. The food garden created a new context in which members could come together and live out Jewish values of feeding the hungry, beautifying mitzvot (commandments), and making good use of natural resources.
