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.
“Waking and Repenting” by David Lloyd

The Second Sunday of Advent
we have childhood memories of preparing for Christmas but what about Advent? Do we have childhood memories of Advent as a season? We might if our parents were religious. We might have had a little ritual each week when we lit another of the four candles. We might have had an Advent calendar and enjoyed opening a little door each day to find a religious symbol or a Bible verse. But I suspect most of us did not really celebrate the season of Advent per se when we were children. Advent might not even have been mentioned. It got lost in our excitement over preparing for Christmas. We didn’t think, “Wow! It’s Advent!” What we thought was “Seventeen more days until Christmas!”

The First Sunday of Advent
For the next four Sundays, we will be singing and speaking and praying with expectation of new birth in our own lives, in the life of Seekers, and in the wider world that we live in. It is a conscious choice to be hopeful, to believe that change is possible.

The 26th Sunday after Pentecost
We are coming to the end of our Jubilee season and, also, the end of the church year. You can tell, because we’re already seeing Christmas ads on TV, and some of us are aware that there are only ten more cooking days till Thanksgiving. Liturgy geeks are excited because next Sunday is the final one of Year C in the lectionary cycle, and the following Sunday we start the three-year cycle of Bible readings all over with Year A, as we enter the season of Advent.
