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.

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.”

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.

The First Sunday after the Epiphany
I’m fine with the word Christ as a synonym for Savior. With that understanding, I’m happy to testify that Jesus is my Christ. With that understanding I’m happy to describe Seekers as a Christian community, in the tradition of the Church of the Saviour. In ritual language, when we name ourselves as part of the “Body of Christ” I think of our shared reality as being shaped by the guidance of Jesus
