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 Call to Compassion is a Call to Action” by Amber Schollenberger and Alison Henken

2010 Epiphany coverJanuary 17, 2010 

All Christians who strive to follow the example of Jesus are challenged to a life of compassion and service to others.  In his time on earth, Jesus consistently pushed the limits of who, when, and how he served others.  Despite the rules and expectations of society and the Jewish community, Jesus showed that God’s call to love our neighbor should be limitless. 

 

Ultimately, our challenge is to awaken to the reality that God’s call to service should be transformative in our individual lives and as a Christian community.  In essence, the call to compassion and service is a call to action.

“Look What’s Here” by Peter Bankson

2010 Epiphany coverJanuary 3, 2010 

In our front windows downstairs the wise men bearing gifts have moved into the same window as the manger and are marveling at the newborn King of the Jews, the very incarnation of God. What about the Incarnation? What difference does it make? The Incarnation is a journey of death and resurrection, a season of surprises. The good news is hiding close at hand, although it may be hard to see. Look what’s here!

The Blizzard of 2009

For those of us in the metro DC area, it probably will not come as a surprise that, after consultation with folks throughout the region, the Servant Leadership Team determined that there would be no worship service for Seekers Church today.  We hope that everyone kept safe and warm as we all rode out the storm and that we found a variety of ways to celebrate the Holy’s presence in our separate places.
