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.
Click here for an archive of our sermons.
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.
“Appreciating Pentecost” by Pat Conover
June 16, 2013
The 4th Sunday after Pentecost

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.

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.

Trinity
Have any of you walked into a conversation that has already been going on for a while and find yourself at a loss as to what is really being discussed? I particularly feel that way about the passage from Romans. Who starts a conversation with “Therefore”?
