July 19, 2015. Pastor Penny’s message today is about fear. We fear being exposed for who we are. We don’t want to admit that we need help, that we need a leader. But Jesus is our leader, our good shepherd, and he knows our faults and loves us anyway. Following him isn’t always easy, but it does promise that our lives will have purpose.
