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.
“Light Over Darkness” by Kevin Barwick
23 January 2011
3rd Sunday after Epiphany
I prefer light over darkness. as probably most of you do also. Years ago I used to do a fair amount of caving or spelunking. I remember a time when, in the middle of winter, a friend and I went camping in West Virginia, intending to explore this one particular cave. Way after night fall, we found a place to camp. We hurriedly pitched our tent, and went searching for the entrance to the cave. It took about an hour in the dark before we stumbled onto it.
“Foolish Hope” by D.D.
9 January 2011
1st Sunday after Epiphany
Acts 10: 37-38, It is also written that he was filled with the spirit of God, and power, and so He went through the province of Judea beginning from Nazareth
his birth place, doing good and healing all those that were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
We too must response and witness to God’s people by doing good, praying for the sick, for the nation as well.

“Hope and Hopelessness” by David Novello
December 12, 2010
Advent 3
It has been remarkable that, as I have thought about and worked on this sermon these past two weeks, words about hope and optimism seem to be popping up everywhere – appearing in all kinds of places. There was a “quote of the day” last week from the web site gratefulness.org. And Ken Stailey circulated an email about a quote on hope by Eric Hoffer that a friend posted on his Facebook wall. And then Jill Joseph sent another email – this one to our mission group – noting that in the preparation for the sermon she gave last week, she read that the words “hope” and “hop” are believed to have a common origin, as hope implies some inner leaping with anticipated joy. Such synchronicity!
