MENAVIGASI MISI MISIONAL DALAM MASYARAKAT POSTMODERN: STRATEGI GEREJA DALAM MENYEBARKAN PESAN KERAJAAN ALLAH

Abstract

This study aims to explore how the church can integrate and communicate the concept of the Kingdom of God in a missional context in the postmodern era, characterized by skepticism towards grand narratives and truth relativism. Through a literature research approach, this study examines more effective and resonant church communication strategies with the postmodern society. The findings indicate that the use of relatable narratives, adaptation of symbolism, and a dialogic approach are key to reaching a postmodern audience. The strategies adopted by the church should include an integration between eschatological hope and contextual social responsibility, emphasizing cross-sectoral cooperation and the use of modern technology to strengthen the church's missional mission. This study concludes that a holistic and inclusive approach in communicating the Kingdom of God strengthens the church's role as a unifying and social transformation agent in a fragmented society.
