Perhaps you are serving as a shepherd to sheep of your own. Your sheep may be a congregation, a family, a discipleship group, or a nursery full of rambunctious two-year-olds. Some of your greatest frustrations may come when you encounter beating, wayward, struggling lambs. How can you lead without letting your frustration and emotions boil over? How can you be effective in helping people with their greatest need of all—finding spiritual maturity? What does a shepherd look like today?

In the previous lessons, Peter's apt advice filled our hearts with new hope to face some of life's greatest trials. And once again we sit at his feet and take notes as he paints the portrait of a shepherd.
