All You Need is Love Daily Devotional -52

All You Need is Love Daily Devotional -52

1 CORINTHIANS 13:13| 13 And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

How do you define hope? It is the intellectual conviction and emotional certainty that the love of God we experience today will extend tomorrow. It is the factor that overcomes anxiety and fear. It is related to our confidence in God’s reliability and promise-keeping and His capacity to overcome evil, sin, and death. Hope allows us to face tragedy and loss and not be overwhelmed. It makes every parting temporary, along with every failure, every hurt, every limitation.

What feeds your hope?

What challenges it?

Dave Joynt began his service as a pastor at Valley Presbyterian Church in Paradise Valley, Arizona in September 2014.

Dave was nurtured in a great church in Bethlehem where his parents, Anne and Carey, served as elders. He graduated in classics from Lehigh University where his Father taught, and then from Oxford, where he met his wife Julia. Ordained in 1988, he completed a Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1993.
