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.

Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Good morning!
Today is the second Sunday in our Recommitment Season. This season is not part of the wider church’s liturgical calendar, but is something we follow as part of our legacy and grounding from the Church of the Saviour. Recommitment Season culminates on October 21 when those who want to be committed to this church for another year will stand up and make their commitment statements. In the meantime, as part of our preparation, we offer some reflection statements for you to think about as you prepare for Recommitment Sunday.

Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost
I remember it so vividly — I am 10 years old, sitting on the banks of a lake at mid-morning, between tall grasses on all sides that closed around and over my head. I am a camper at Jewish summer camp in the Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania, and usually we pray the regular weekday morning liturgy, from books, on benches inside. But this morning, the counselors have told us to spend the prayer time each by ourselves, to go somewhere outside.

Ninth Sunday after Pentecost
Our Gospel passage will be my point of departure today. I want to consider three things, primarily: the incredible fruitfulness, or abundance of God; the limitations of the rational mind we glimpse in Phillip; and the symbolism of the story which follows where we see Jesus walking across the water toward the disciples.
New Story Leadership 2012
22 July 2012 Eighth Sunday After Pentecost New Story Leadership for the Middle East is an organization that brings together Israeli and Palestinian young adults to work, live, and share their stories with one another and with faith communities. Participants in this summer’s program spoke at Seekers this morning during the time of sharing the Word. We heard from an Israeli and a Christian Palestinian is they described their struggles to write a “new story” of the tortured relationships between their peoples as well as to do the inner work needed by each to break out of their respective cultural patterns.
