Last episode we looked at what happens in our life when we follow Jesus closely.  We notice that we become like Him.  We've also looked at recently Jesus is a good shepherd and that a shepherd protects His sheep.  If this is what Jesus does then we become protectors of other people as well.   

 We'll look at what a protector is and some characteristics that are modeled in their life.  A share an example from nature in how young elephants need to be kept in check as they learn to control their power and strength.    We also look at how a protector will deal with weakness in the lives of others tenderly.  A key principle we'll take from today is that we must see and experience Jesus as a protector of our heart so that we can protect the hearts of people around us.  

Key scripture: 1st Samuel 25 (David, Nabel, Abigail)
