ABSTRACT Thesis Title : THEOLOGICAL VIEM TO FIND, SAVE THE LOST AND RETURNING TO THE FELLOWSHIP CHURCH BASED IN LUKE 15 ON SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH REGION 15, JAKARTA LOCAL CONFERENCE Researcher Name : Haldeman Beno Tampubolon, S. Th. Supervisor Matte : Dr. Bartholomew Diaz Nainggolan, M.P.S. Date of completion : the sixteenth of May, 2016 Two transitions were found in the middle of Jesus' ministry. One relates to the location and the second relates to the method of his teaching. Teaching parable has several advantages and benefits. The parable was safe. With the people who pay attention to him to destroy him, by using parables Jesus can teach in a way that does not make his enemies too angry. The second advantage is that people like to hear the stories. Jesus paints a picture of the world around them through verbal imagery to describe what is happening in real life. Teaching it often appears at the end of the story and have a deep understanding that it takes time to understand it. When listeners hear the parable, he would agree because the story is common in everyday life and can understand the meaning of the parable. Jesus clearly affirmed to the Pharisees in the audience what is stated in Luke 15: 1, 2. Jesus gave the parable of the lost sheep to the ordinary people (sinners) who know that they lost, but do not know what to do overcome. Jesus gives the story of the prodigal son to confront the publican was heard; uprising in the heart extravagance on the results of their dishonest. But the scribes and Pharisees, and church members are "good" received two doses: the parable dirham who do not have the understanding and the person who works hard and goes to a church that seems to have all regularly and tidy, but actually disappear once, badly she did not realize it. Comparisons need to be made first, that the person who lost a sheep was lost only one hundredth of the number of sheep available to him. Women who lost one dirham has lost a tenth of all his possessions, while the father who lost his youngest son had lost half than his living. This is a major disadvantage compared to others. Losses father was very large and also how great sorrow that meets his soul. Jesus encourages believers to be seekers. He wants us to love and reach out to those who lost, save, and restore their lost into the fellowship of the church without having to care about the kind of people how they are, or the way of life that is how they turn. The author found that Luke uses the entire chapter 15 to tell him about the joy experienced by a person when his lost (sheep, dirham, children) who eventually recovered. The fact that in the church there are sheep, dirham, and the prodigal son. Plans and God's own longing to be lost is searched, saved, and restored to the fellowship of the church, which is his, namely Christ himself as the head of the church. Pastor G. T. Ng, Executive Secretary of the Seventh-day Adventist Church (Seventh-day Adventists) General Conference, at a meeting with the committee EvanggelisticMeeting Hope for Banten, on July 28, 2015 said that a hundred souls were baptized into the Seventh-day Adventists in find 39 people. One of the problems of the church is the loss of church membership. To be repaired, the whole church open hearts, trained and involved in maintaining church membership, noting the missing members, search, rescue, and restore to the fellowship of the church. The approach should be made to make up for the believers who have lost twice. Statistical data region 15 Conference Seventh-day Adventists membership of Jakarta Local Conference are represented by 13 churches of Seventh-day Adventists Region 15 Jakarta Local Conference, in the years 2011-2015 was found: the number of registered members 1,399 inhabitants, the number of active members numbered 938 souls, and the number of inactive members are known totaled 461 people, and of the 523 souls who baptized the years 2011-2015, which is still active there are 337 inhabitants, the data recorded 186 lost souls from the baptism in the years 2011- 2015. Descriptively known to respondents overall result of 3.75 means that the average respondent agreed to seek theological view, save the lost and restore the fellowship of the church is based on Luke 15 at the Seventh-day Adventists region 15, Jakarta Local Conference. Program to win back the lost church members need a mature plan, which involve the whole church. A list of names can be gathered from the list of members of the church, of the members of the congregation, and of other relatives. Plans should be made to register the methods that will be used to choose wisely, and trained first. The words of Jesus in Luke 15: 7, "there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents." Jesus Christ himself left the glory of heaven and came to this earth to save mankind that has been lost and fell. The biggest job in this world is to seek and save the lost, for whom Christ has paid with his own blood, therefore, each member must be involved actively seek care, save the lost, and returns to the fellowship of the church.
