Dave Ward, minister for community life at the Chapel Hill Bible Church, presented a thought-provoking sermon on the parable of the sower, from the fourth chapter of the gospel of Mark. A link to the audio of the sermon is at the end of the passage.
The Parable of the Sower
Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea, and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. And he was teaching them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them: "Listen! A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil. And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away. Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold." And he said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

What does it look like to live in Christ, and love as he loves? What does it look like to be kind to someone who is suffering? The movie, Lars and the Real Girl, provides a breath-taking glimpse at what happens when people focus on the needs of of someone else. I strongly encourage you to see this movie; think of it as instructions on how to love in a community.
