A New Heart for the Valley Week 6, Day 3

A New Heart for the Valley Week 6, Day 3

A GENERATIONAL HEART

 

ZECHARIAH 9:9 | LUKE 19:29-36

 

Our campus redesign brings the children, youth, and adults into the center of our campus and directly connects all generations together in worship and fellowship. This is biblically and missionally important, for we need each other to be whole and wholly inspired. Jesus entered Jerusalem and rode on a donkey—it was an enacted children’s message, making visual his decision to be a Messiah of humility, modesty, service, and suffering, rather than violence and triumph. Sometimes, the children’s message is the best part of worship! One of the best parts of being a pastor is connected with all ages.

 

 

Pray that VPC will encompass and incorporate every generation.

What is your favorite ever children’s message?

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.
