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.
“Fear” by Teresa R.
March 2, 2014
Transfiguration
Fear of public speaking is said to be the single biggest fear of most adults. I have heard that people are more afraid of public speaking then they are of snakes. Really? That just doesn’t seem right. I mean, who has ever been walking in the woods and heard someone cry out “watch out for the podium!” ? Anyway, I have a bit of fear of public speaking upon me, now, so I would like to model what I learned to do about fear in AA, I will pray. Most loving Lord, please remove my fear of speaking and direct my attention to what you would have me be. Amen.
“How Do We See Seekers Church?” by Kevin Barwick

The 7th Sunday after the Epiphany
“Church.” “Going to church.” From my upbringing, that word sounded boring and judgmental! I have lots of images and feelings about the experience of “Church.” I’m sure you do too. Some good. Some bad. In reality, it was a chore rather than an experience. Particularly any wonder and awe, contentment and love and creativity: three important elements that flow through the Book of Acts.
“Think Again: Choose Life- Choose WE” by Peter Bankson

The 6th Sunday after the Epiphany
Six weeks ago, as we began this season, I suggested that Epiphany is a time when we may suddenly see what has been right in front of us for a long time. An “epiphany” is a sudden manifestation of the meaning of something; a sudden intuitive realization, a big “Aha!” Our worship theme for this season suggests that it’s an opportunity to re-think some tried-and-true understandings of the world we live in and the “we” who live in that world.
“Bushels and Lampstands” by Ken Burton

The 5th Sunday after the Epiphany
Epiphany is about all the ways that we know the presence of the Holy One. In the weeks since that first Sunday in January, we have been exploring some of the ways that we do, indeed, know God’s presence. With the wise men, we followed the star. We were with them as they were “overwhelmed with joy” when it stopped over the place where the promised child was. We read about “the Spirit descending like a dove” at the time of Jesus baptism. We felt the surprise and amazement when we heard the first disciples’ immediate and total positive response to Jesus’ call to “follow me.”
“Walking Humbly with God” by Deborah Sokolove
February 2, 2014
The 4th Sunday after the Epiphany
When I was growing up, I sometimes would visit a synagogue that was relatively new, very modern and graceful, all wood and glass. On one of the wooden walls, directly opposite from the entry door, Micah 6:8 was spelled out in large, elegant, hammered copper letters, in both Hebrew and in English. I remember reading it every time I went into the place, taking it into some very deep part of myself. The way I remember it, it went like this:
What does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
