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.
“For Freedom We are Set Free” by Deborah Sokolove
June 30, 2013
The 6th Sunday after Pentecost
Paul seems to be saying that our spiritual life is grounded in our daily realities, in the way that we conduct ourselves outwardly, in our relationships with others; and inwardly, in our feelings, thoughts, hopes, and desires. When we are “in the flesh” – given over to a crassly materialistic view of life, in which the only value is my pleasure, my desires, my selfish ego – we behave in ways that are harmful to others and destructive of our own peace of mind. On the other hand, the fruit of a life rooted in the Spirit is both caring and careful of the needs of others and filled with joy and inner peace.
“Invitation to Exegetical Conversation” by Fred Taylor
June 23, 2013
The 5th Sunday after Pentecost
Fred Taylor, along with Sonya Dyer, called Seekers Church into being in 1976. Fred now worships with Eighth Day Church, another of the Church of the Saviour offspring. Today, he invited us into what he called an “exegetical conversation” about the future of Seekers and the entire Church of the Saviour community.
“Appreciating Pentecost” by Pat Conover
June 16, 2013
The 4th Sunday after Pentecost
It took courage to claim Jesus as Savior and form the first Christian community in Jerusalem shortly after the Temple leaders and Roman authorities had exercised their power to crucify Jesus. It takes recognition and courage today to move from becoming a cheer leader for Jesus to open ourselves more completely to the power of the Divine Presence which can shake up our life plans.

A Sermon by Marian Barton Peele
June 2, 2013
The 2nd Sunday after Pentecost
From time to time, Seekers invites someone from one of the groups we support to tell us about the work they do. This week, Marian Barton Peele of the Capital Area Food Bank spoke of how she came to be involved in the work of getting food to people who need it. In her present position as Senior Director of Partner Relations, Peele coordinates food distribution to over 700 partner agencies which are non-profit organizations that operate food programs for those at risk of hunger.
