Seekers recognizes that any member of the community may be called upon by God to give us the Word, and thus we have an open pulpit with a different preacher each week. Sermons preached at Seekers, as well as sermons preached by Seekers at other churches or events, are posted here, beginning with the most recent.

Feel free to use what is helpful from these sermons. We only ask that when substantial portions are abstracted or used in a written work, please credit Seekers Church and the author, and cite the URL.
“Crossing a Threshold” by Peter Bankson
October 5, 2014
Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost
I have come to a place in my journey that seems to reflect Paul’s experience in this week’s Epistle reading: “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.”
I find myself in a wondering how I can continue to mature (or grow old) in Seekers Church. What’s the question
Can I still be a part of Seekers when I am no longer part of the SLT?
What can I do to find clearer understanding of my emerging place in Seeker
How can I get some rest?

Complaining and Call
I’m one of these folks that generally preach about once a year and celebration circle has been trying to get me to pony up to this place for a few months now. I am not sure where I built in that the preacher’s goal here at Seekers is to connect to the scripture, connect to your own personal story and connect to the life of Seekers. Oh, and during recommitment season is particularly helpful to talk about that somehow. That is a lot to accomplish within 2500 words, but I will try.
“Accountability” by Ken Burton
September 21, 2014
Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost
In writing this sermon I had more than one occasion to remember the so-called “Prayer of the Preacher”, and no, it is not the familiar one from Psalm 19 that begins “Let the words of my mouth.” Offered in a very different vein, this one is “Lord, fill my mouth with worthwhile stuff, and nudge me when I’ve said enough.” So my hope this morning is that you will indeed find my “stuff” to be worthwhile, and that it will not take divine intervention for me to know when to say “Amen” and to sit down.

“Defense of Discord” by Denise Leclair
September 7, 2014
Thirteenth Sunday After Pentecost
The subject of my sermon this morning is a “Defense of Discord.”
The Merriam Webster Dictionary says discord means either:
1) An unpleasant combination of musical notes
or
2) Lack of agreement between people, ideas, etc.
I am not, you may be surprised to learn, referring to our singing ability, or the lack thereof. So it is the second meaning I will be talking about. I’ll leave discussions of the musical implications to Glenn and Jessie.
