Leading With a Growing Heart: Day 7

1 CORINTHIANS 13:8-12
1 JOHN 3:2-3

Finally, we must lead with growing hearts because of our destiny. We are not yet “what we will be.” There is an incompleteness this side of heaven. We see “dimly,” our knowledge and prophecy are partial and incomplete. But the complete is coming! We’ll know as we’ve been known, understand as we’ve been understood. Change and growth through God’s great power is our future. Every step we take now, every way we grow, we are moving towards the person we will become.

Pray that today, in some small way, you will become more like Jesus.
Praise God for the transformation still to come!

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.
