Questions Week 3 Day 3

by David Joynt on May 16, 2017


DAY 17

2 KINGS 22 | MICAH 6:4

JUDGES 4-5

 

 

Jesus’ egalitarian way with women also fits the surprising presence of female leaders with the O.T. Huldah was a prophetess, speaking the Lord’s word to male leaders. Deborah was a “judge’” and military leader. Miriam was a key leader in helping get Israel out of Egypt, and in addition to being a prophetess, leads the people in worship in Exodus 15. Other prophetesses include Noadiah, Anna, and Philip’s four daughters. (In addition, Rachel, Hannah, and Abigail get visions about the future of the nation and the Messiah.)

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.
