Celebrities attract crowds. Jesus, while neither desiring it or seeking it, had become a celebrity and the crowds pursued Him wherever He went. But not all of His enthusiastic listeners were effectively responding to what He said. So He told a short story to show how important it is that people take seriously what He had to say. This is the 2nd message in Stuart's 10-message series "What to Do While Your Life Is Happening." Luke 8:4-15
