Here and Now devo Nov 21

by David Joynt on November 21, 2022


LUKE 24:46-48 | 46 and he said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day 47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things.

When you invest in the numerical growth of VPC through outreach events and invitations to friends and family, it also has an impact beyond our campus. New people means new gifts and talents to share with our mission partners and new ideas about how to help the kingdom come in the Valley and beyond.

VPC is in a season of growth and it is exciting to imagine how this will revitalize existing mission partnerships and create new possibilities.

Who would you like to see at VPC?

Pray for that person today and tomorrow.

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

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.
