The life of God's people is the same as in ancient times. They long to keep God's shepherd along the way of their lives. The people of God long to be constantly visited by God through pastors who are entrusted to shepherd them, both in joy, especially when they are in sorrow. When a pastor makes a visit to God's people, they feel there is a diminishing burden in their lives. The people of God believe that there is a new spirit for them, whether in the service of the household, or in the church worship. They believe the prayer that a priest shows through the care done to their home, is very big in every life. The purpose of this study is first, it is hoped that the pastors of the congregation know what the members expect of their shepherd, especially in terms of shepherding and evangelism. Secondly, so that the results of this study can be input to other pastoral colleagues, that each congregation is keen to keep the shepherd focus on pastoral ministry and evangelism. Third, to see the attendance of members in every event, both at church and outside church. Fourth, to inform the readers that the results of this study can be applied to members of the Seventh-day Adventist church especially in the 13 DKI Jakarta and surrounding areas, and for all members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in general. The researcher on the theoretical basis below will describe biblical theology of Psalms 23: 1-4 on the influence of shepherding care on church involvement in ministry in the church according to the views of GMAHK members in the 13 Jakarta area. Psalm 23 is sourced from David in the inspiration and inspiration of the Holy Spirit who leads and guides David to reveal God's care and care. God faithfully always accompany him because David is very valuable and made the object of God's love. He cares for David like a father who cares for his children and is like a shepherd to his sheep. It can be concluded that this Psalm 23 is a composition or writings of King David. He reveals God's work on his life and the personal relationship with God described as the shepherd's relationship with his pastoral sheep. The pastor of the congregation must bury his congregation on the basis of firm trust in God, and now is the time to consolidate them in their faith in God so that they will not be easily swayed by false teachings, for they have known for certain which doctrine is true and where the teachings are false. The pastor of the congregation is "the representatives whom He determined to cooperate with the tools of heaven to advance the work of Christ in this world." A shepherd of the shepherd must work in the service of the people of God in accordance with the rules set by God himself. He cannot shepherd the people who are under his supervision at will, for he is not the owner of the people, but Christ is the owner, for He has redeemed them from the wages of sin, eternal death. In practice the shepherd's work is the same as the shepherd of the congregation. Jesus says I am the good shepherd and the words of Jesus are not only in speech but in practice as well. These words of Jesus are evident from the first ministry to death, He never neglects what He can do to help and save the souls of men who long to be saved. Based on the library survey that has been described, the authors found that: First, members of the congregation expect that the pastor is more focused on the treatment, but found they are not satisfied with the care done by the pastor. Secondly, is there any significant influence between the pastor's craft visit with the increasing interest of congregation members to evangelize. Third, members of the congregation expect the pastor of the congregation to set an example of good ministry in every worship in order to influence members to be active in every worship. Sampling technique by random cluster sampling, ie sampling by selecting members of the church from each church proportionally from the 13 DKI Jakarta and its surrounding Conferences. The number of respondents who have filled in questionnaires from no 1-25 items about 243 people. Analysis is needed to determine whether data analysis for testing can proceed or not. Some data analysis techniques require test requirements analysis. Data collection methods, as described by Sproul cited by Subagyo, are four, namely: 1) interview method, 2) administration, 3) inspectors, 4) observations, 5) and examination of documents or objects. As for quantitative research, this method of data collection uses the administration of questionnaire instruments. Data collection techniques based on the Likert scale model, to measure attitudes, opinions, and assumptions of a person or group of people about symptoms or social phenomena. With this Likert Scale the variables to be measured are translated into indicator variables, which become the basis of reference to prepare statement items.

The conclusion of this research is first, the results of statistical descriptive indicate that the pastoral care of the congregation greatly affects the presence of members in the Church and so it indicates that the more often the pastor visited, then it affects the growing spirituality of members, especially the spirituality of the elders of the congregation so that the elders of the congregation More actively serving in every church activity so that worship in the church is more alive. Second, the congregation strongly agrees that when the pastor diligently visits the members, the more souls will be taught so that there is an influence of the pastoral care of the congregation on the readiness of the members for the second coming of Jesus. Third, the example of the pastor's pastor's life can increase the activity of the members in ministry and the pastor exemplifies the correct way of ministry in the church so that the influence of the pastoral care of the congregation in the 13 districts of DKI Jakarta & Surrounding to make the congregation more diligent to come to church as evidence of the church's revival. Fourth, there are still some members who do not fully believe that if they are active in the ministry, the more blessed the Lord will be because of the members of the congregation who are not satisfied with the care done by a pastor of the congregation. Fifthly, there are still some members of the congregation who doubt the prayers of a more powerful pastor than the prayers of the members of the congregation so that members of the congregation have not been blessed through the ministry of the word delivered by the pastor of his congregation.

The suggestion in this study is that the congregation should focus on ministry primarily to increase pastoralism and evangelism so that the influence of shepherding care on church involvement in ministry based on Psalm 23: 1-4 is increasing. The implication of this research is that the life of God's people longs to keep the shepherd of God along the way of their lives. The people of God long to be constantly visited by God through pastors who are entrusted to shepherd them, both in joy, especially when they are in sorrow. When a pastor makes a visit to God's people, they feel there is a diminishing burden in their lives. The people of God believe that there is a new spirit for them, whether in the service of the household, or in the church worship. They believe the prayer that a priest shows through the care done to their home, is very big in every life.

This thesis begins with explanation about background of The Understanding Of Seventh Day Adventist Church Member About The Rule And Discipline For The Guilty Church Member According To Matthew 18 : 15-18 In Region XII Of Jakarta Conference And Vinicity. The key words are: Rule and Discipline. The discussion about The Rule and Discipline for Church Member is very relevant for the church’s condition nowadays, because there are many churches or church members are separated because of not applying the rule and discipline inside the church. Nowadays the churches rarely monitor, warn and guide the sinned member to repent and being back to God. Even the church that hardly maintain in submitting or telling God’s words faithfully often get weak in applying the discipline or punishment. Those kinds of church generally give reason that applying discipline inside the church will bring the bad consequences or result for the members who did mistakes, they will be offended and leave the church. Some people think that there’s no strong reason to punish someone just because doing a little sin, particularly if the mistaken one is a well known, rich and powerful church member. The church is not willing to punish or apply discipline for them because of worrying they will move to other church. The important of applying rule and discipline is to be a tool for improving the spirituality growth so it will motivate the other church member to pay attention to reprimanded or warn “them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men” (1 Thessalonians 5:14). So, the purpose of applying discipline is:Â First, saving the church (1 Corinthians 5:5). Second, saving the sinner (1 Corinthians 5:2, 5). Jesus gave the method to reprimand or warn the mistaken persons or those who doesn’t obey God’s command, in Matthew 18:15 18 is written the concrete rules about herding especially for the guilty or mistaken member. By :Â First, reprimanding or warning to make every one responsible for each other (1 Thessalonians 5:11, 14 it’s edify or admonish, esteeming and comfort each other). Second, eyes to eyes means without any witness, for reaching back our guilty brothers. Third, two or three people, if the second way doesn’t succeed, we may ask one or two more people as witnesses. Here, the witness is for “discussion partner”, which means a person who helps the discussion to run well with the brotherhood spirit of solidarity. Fourth, if the reprimanding or warning with the witnesses doesn’t succeed, bring the problem to all the church member / church. Fifth, look at the mistaken person as a person who doesn’t know about God, this means, the person should be considered as an unbeliever and he should be excommunicated. But it doesn’t mean we should excommunicated all of his life, we should keep praying for him because the purpose of applying discipline or punishment is not to destroy his faith but to make him back to God. The research was conducted at Seventh Day Adventist Churches In Region XII Of Jakarta Conference And Vinicity, with purpose is to know how far the understanding of the church members about the important of the rule and discipline for the guilty / mistaken member, and how far the church members and elders understand that the base or foundation of the rule and discipline is actually God’s Love to keep the holiness of God’s church and also how many member who applies the rule and discipline well to improve the church’s growth. The method that was used for this research is quantitative, and the tool that was used to collect data is questionnaire to measure The Understanding Of Seventh Day Adventist Church Member About The Rule And Discipline For The Guilty Church Member According To Matthew 18 : 15-18 In Region XII Of Jakarta Conference And Vinicity.

This thing should be a serious attention through the role of Pastor and elders of the church to motivate every church member for the spirituality growth in God’s way. The result of research also presents that from all the variables as follow: First, Rule and Discipline Improve Spirituality, it gave score toward the questionnaire which point is 3.99.

Tithes should be brought into the storehouse of God (the church), but there are some members of the Seventh-day Adventists do not follow the standards of faith, but they use, manage, put on with the reason for the ministry of evangelism. By using the Bible verse Deuteronomy 14: 23,26: In front of the Lord your God will place that He chose to make his name dwell there, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, new wine, and olive oil, and the firstborn of an ox herds and flocks, so that you may learn to fear the Lord your God. And thou shalt bestow that money for everything in love heart for oxen or sheep, for wine or strong drink, or whatever you desire, and thou shalt eat there before the Lord your God and rejoice you and your household. In the sphere of Christian life and charity the problem of stewardship plays a large and important role. Every believer has a special interest in this matter. Our willingness and our willingness to acknowledge God as King and Owner of all possessions, and the willingness of God to grant His blessings to us, including our understanding of the principles, the closer we are to the understanding of the way God's love and gifts God works within us. A committee set up by the church in 1998 to investigate this group "was observed in a conversation with Hope International and colleagues that they affirmed the agreement on many key elements of the Seventh Day of the Adventist faith, but the method they used to express their concerns has resulted in what Considered by many to be the spirit of constant criticism aimed at the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The tithe offerings are applied to His people not because God is deprived so that God expects the tithing offerings of each of His people. The congregation must realize that everything belongs to God, it is said in (Ps. 24: 1) that God is the owner of the earth and all its contents. And the world and the dwelling in it. Seventh-day Adventist Church has a number of supporters, church, independent, self-contained and other organizations as an additional work or in connection with the official church. One of the authors estimated their number at more than 800 and most of the support of the church, though different ministries may be critical of the actions of the church. A committee set up by the church in 1998 to investigate the group "was observed in conversations with Hope International and associates that they affirmed agreement on many key elements of the Seventh-day Adventist faith.

Traditionally, the Book is believed to have been written by a man named Malachi.

The scriptures teach that God, as The provision of our needs, has a part in it all. Then its part must be our first thought; And a special blessing will accompany all those who honor this guidance. God has given instructions on how to use the tithe, He does not want His work to be crippled because of lack of cost, so there is no job congestion and mistakes. He has established our duty in this very clearly. The part that God exposes to Himself must not be diverted for any purpose other than that which He has determined The tithe offerings belong to God should not be used alone even to the things they see fit, Ellen White says: No one should feel free to withhold their tithe, to use their will and judgment. They may not use it for themselves in an emergency, nor should they be used to the things they regard as appropriate, even in what they consider to be the work of the Lord.

An Analysis of the influence of the shepherd's role in pre-marriage counseling services for family harmony in the Seventday Adventist church at the fourth regional Jakarta local conference based on Ephesians 5:22-25. Keywords: The concept of marriage, Role of Shepherd, Counseling, and example. The discussion of pre-marriage counseling under Ephesians 5: 22-25 is highly relevant today, given that the institution of marriage has been established by God since the time of Eden before any institutions exist anywhere on the planet. Marriage is God's ordinance, God says, "it is not good that man should be alone" (Genesis 2:18), while in the past there are many marriages that have eventually found a dead end and destruction, these marriages have gone into the realm of the children's lives, sons of God. A marriage is suppose to be a unity of loving commitment to be manifested as a little paradise in the world, that has become corrupted and bitter. Satan desperately wants to destroy the marriage from the beginning and now it is a demonic attempt to mar the marriage. Where the commitment of love fades, loyalty disappears and is replaced by infidelity, as well as the bitter roots that appear in the dynamics of marrying. The concept of marriage is increasingly obscured by the emergence of polygamy in which a husband is married more than one wife. Polyandry is a wife married more than one Husband, LGBT is lesbian (female love fellow woman), gay or homo, bisexual that is loving the opposite sex and can love same-sex and transgender. A marriage contracts is where the contract is only the age of the agreed commitment and not of a lifetime contract. The role of the shepherd is very important to restore a biblical marriage and prepare the children of God to be ready to enter into a happy marriage that is not easily shaker by issues or problems. A study was conducted in the Seventh-day Adventist Church of the Fourth Area Jakarta Local Conference with a view of knowing how strongly the influence of the Shepherd's role for the pre-marriage counseling is. To what extent the church members' understanding the true biblical marriage concept that is specifically based on Ephesians 5: 22-25 , How important is the role of shepherd in providing pre-marital counseling for married couples, and the extent to which exemplary influence is good for the next generation. The method used in this research is quantitative research, and data collection tools used in the form of questionnaires to measure the variable influence of the role of the shepherds in Pre-marital counseling based on Ephesians 5: 22-25. The results showed that first, the respondent understands that the institution of marriage was founded by God since the Garden of Eden, That the marriage is holy and marriage is very necessary to be prepared for carefully, so that is the understanding of the real concept of marriage for couples who are getting married. Secondly, respondents strongly believe that it is very important to have briefing through pre-marital counseling services for married couples therefore this is the role of shepherds to provide for the pre-marital counseling for married couples. Thirdly, respondents strongly agree that they accepted their partners completely, both their strengths and weaknesses, and this is the best example of how they will influence in a marriage. The final part are the conclusion of the analysis of field research and suggestions of applications that can be executed to return the actual marriage designed by God, and blessed and become a blessing.
