In this message, Pastor Sharon Miller explores why faith, like a seed, cannot grow in isolation and why community is the essential soil God uses to shape us. Using Jesus' Parable of the Sower, she names the real obstacles that make community difficult, from past wounds to busyness and misplaced priorities, while pointing to the hope of healing and growth made possible through Jesus. This sermon invites us into the slow, honest work of cultivating life-giving community together.
