Sermons

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 11th Sunday After Pentecost

 

When our society was more Bible literate, people would often say of someone who was calm, long-suffering and uncomplaining that they had “the patience of Job.”  While society might have been more Bible literate then, if you read the full text it would be hard to think of Job as patient by our standards

The 10th Sunday After Pentecost

 

As we use this liturgical season to examine the theme of “catching our breath”, I turn to today’s readings to focus on some fundamental aspects of our shared life of faith. As a runner, I know the importance of catching my breath, the familiar, essential rhythm that sustains me.

A Service in the Style of Taize

The 9th Sunday After Pentecost

 

Several times each year, Seekers Church takes time out from its regular preaching schedule for a service of chant, prayer and reflection modeled on the worship of the Taizé Community in France. This Sunday was one such time. Repeating the chants together until they die away into the silence provides rest for our world-weary spirits as well as an opportunity for individual reflection on our faith journeys. As we joined in spirit with the monks at Taizé, we were nourished by their faithfulness as well as by their music.
