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.
“Born Again: Stem Cells in the Body of Christ” by Peter Bankson
12 June 2011
Pentecost
Pentecost is a vibrant reminder that the Creator isn’t finished, that the Holy Spirit is constantly calling us into new places to take up new roles as part of the Good News of Christ. One day we’re clear about who we are and what we’re about. Then we’re asleep or mired up to the hubcaps in some dark place of depressed unknowing. And then, suddenly, things are different. When that happens it often feels like we’ve been born … again – birth pains and all! But how can that be? How can we go back into the womb now that we’re all grown up? And what about the self we’ve somehow left behind?
“That They May be One” by Jill Joseph

The 7th Sunday of Easter
My faith is pretty spare, running deep but rather silently through my days. And I found myself wallowing in the many words of this week’s readings, wading disconsolately through the ancient, discomforting suggestion that there is one true God and that only through him is eternal life available.
This was not an easy week of readings for me.
But I invite you to look with me again today’s readings, consider what is being offered here and ask if it is possible that they can inform my life of faith, and perhaps yours?

“My Story of the Sacred Conversation” by Sandra Miller
15 May 2011
The 4th Sunday of Easter
Each time I come to the pulpit to preach it is to tell tales. I am not a learned theologian able to deliver revelatory exegeses of the week’s lections. Indeed, writing a sermon reminds me that even after a 30 plus year journey with Jesus, I am still like the apostles, getting it wrong too often but doing my best to follow the way by reaching into my own and the world’s broken places. So, I fall back on stories, which fits with my tendency to use many words when a few will do.

The 3rd Sunday of Easter
Happy Mother’s Day. I have lost my mother this spring, and no longer have young children to wake me at dawn and try to make breakfast, but I do have several spiritual mothers and sisters in my mission group and in former mission groups. I realized that being a spiritual mother was what I wanted to talk about today, in relation to my work at N Street Village.
