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.
Click here for an archive of our sermons.
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.
“Tastes of Heaven” by Jacqie Wallen
Pentecost
May 23, 2010
Sometimes, as happened to the disciples on Pentecost, we get a taste of heaven here on earth: a moment of unity in diversity, a moment of justice, a moment of peace and goodwill among people. These tastes of heaven can show us what it would be like to experience heaven on earth and give us something to strive for. Atomic fireballs were distributed to the congregation to give them “tongues of fire.”
“What Will it Take” by Will Ramsey

the seventh Sunday of Easter
When Kate lit the Peace and Justice Candle she prayed for One World, One Peace, One People. What will it take for you and for me to make the changes necessary for acceptance, tolerance and inclusion to occur among all people?
What does this question bring up for you? Right now as you sit here in this place; Seekers Church, worship service. Just notice. What am I thinking? What will it take?

The sixth Sunday in Easter
During this season of Easter we journey with the apostles, beginning at the sealed tomb, disappointed in ourselves, grief-stricken with loss, gathered in small groups, stunned by death…..an ordinary, brutal Roman death, torturing even as it kills.
And then something happened and for 40 days we liturgically explore what this “something” is, as story, as shared bread and cup, as theology, as invitation.
“With God on Our Side” by John Morris

The Fifth Sunday of Easter
Both the reading from Acts and the reading from the Gospel this morning speak to me about the universality of God’s call. I hear the early Christians struggling to understand that, unlike Judaism, this new thing is really supposed to be for everybody.
Peter explains his extraordinary experience in Joppa, when he saw the Holy Spirit come upon three Gentiles “as he had come on us at the beginning.” His conclusion: “So if God gave them the same gift as he gave us, who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could oppose God!”
