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.
“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.
A Service in the Style of Taize for Summer, 2014
August 31, 2014 Twelth Sunday after Pentecost Several times each year, Seekers Church takes time out from its regular preaching schedule for a service of chant, prayer and reflection modeled on the worship of the Taizé Community in France. This Sunday was one such time. Repeating the chants together until they die away into the silence provides rest for our world-weary spirits as well as an opportunity for individual reflection on our faith journeys. As we joined in spirit with the monks at Taizé, we were nourished by their faithfulness as well as by their music.
“Dancing Toward the Light” by Jesse Palidofsky
August 24, 2014 Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost Jesse offered Seekers a preview of his soon-to-be-released album, “Dancing Toward the Light.” His sermon included songs from the album as well as his story of following the inner/outer path that led finally to these songs and the album.
“What Do You Expect?” by David W. Lloyd
August 17, 2014
Tenth Sunday After Pentecost
I want you to close your eyes a minute and think about what you expect when you come to Seekers worship: maybe something or someone to see, something to hear, something to taste during coffee hour, something to touch, maybe even something to smell, something that may happen.
