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.
“A More Opportune Time” by Deborah Sokolove
February 17, 2013
The First Sunday in Lent
A few days ago, we marked our foreheads with ashes, reminding one another that we come from the earth and, one day, sooner or later, each of us will return to it. We do this to join our story to the story of Jesus, as we learn along with him what it means to be God’s beloved, chosen child.
“Transfiguration, Veiled Minds, and Loving Your Mother” by Elizabeth Gelfeld

The Feast of the Transfiguration
Most Sundays we hear the liturgist say something like this: We at Seekers believe that all of us hear the Word of God and from time to time some are called to share that Word in the sermon. I confess to you that that is not exactly how I happen to be standing here today. . . . Because global climate change is something I care deeply about, I signed on hoping that, by today, the Holy One would give me a word to share with you.
“Pouring Out One’s Life” by Keith
3 February 2013
The 4th Sunday after the Epiphany
Before I started into the desert, I used to say in a rather smart-alecky way that I was “called to eat.” By which I meant I was not willing to give up my livelihood even while dreaming about Call and what might be available if I followed Call into the desert. But then I began my journey, a long time ago.
