Today we'll be looking at the strength we get from examples in our lives.  It's important we have positive role models in our lives, because they will be essential to forming our identity and character.  so who do you have in your life as an example?    We'll look at Philippians 2 where Paul talked about the example of Christ and how that is always our greatest example we can have.    

We'll also look at how our emotional and spiritual capacity is impacted by the examples in our lives.  We all have a certain capacity, the encouraging thing is how Jesus can help us grow our capacity simply by observing His life and understanding how we're created in His image.    I'll share two great images that will help connect this truth in your spirit.  

We'll also define 7-8 characteristics of what it's like to be in and out of relational mode.  These characteristics will be very helpful for you.
