The Upside Down World, Week 7, Day 4

by David Joynt on October 26, 2017


 

LUKE 13:20-21 CONTINUED

 

Yeast permeates dough. Christian faith and Kingdom life is not meant to be limited to a single dimension of our lives. If we sequester our faith, establishing a “religious dimension” in our lives separate from our work and our recreation and our scholarship and our relationships, then we have not grasped the truth of our convictions. Jesus is Lord over everything. God acknowledges no other power and admits no rival. Faith should shape our outlook in every sphere of our activity.

 

 

What area of your life is hardest to connect with your faith?

 

 

Do all your friends know how important faith is to you?

 

 

FAMILY TIME—

What does it mean to be a person of faith at school?

At work?

About the Author
David Joynt

Dave Joynt began his service as a pastor at Valley Presbyterian Church in Paradise Valley, Arizona in September 2014. This meant a move away from the Northeast, where he has a long history, growing up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and then serving congregations in Delaware and New Jersey for a total of 23 years.

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.

He and Julia have a son, Tristan, and a daughter, Madeleine.
