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.
Jesse Palidosky’s Sabbatical Reflection
November 8, 2009
Jesse Palidofsky spoke about the sabbatical that he has just completed at Rolling Ridge. Living in a cabin overlooking the Shenandoah River for several weeks, Jesse found time to reflect on his call and work as a hospice chaplain and to write a number of new songs, several of which he performed as part of his sermon.
“In Search of Holy Discomfort” by Leslie Smith
November 1, 2009
When I first heard about Faith-At-Work’s annual service trip to Guatemala, my immediate reaction was: THAT is something I want my whole family to do together. At this point, my husband Stephen and daughter Carmen had been on Katrina re-building trips, Carmen had worked on projects in El Salvador, but I had always manned the home front, and we had never done anything like this as a family. This trip presented itself as a challenge, a challenge to step outside of the everyday and familiar
“Transformation – Timing, Balance and Context” by Will Ramsey

What would the transformation look like after it took place?
“Commitment and Over-Commitment” by Deborah Sokolove
October 18, 2009
A few minutes ago, most of us made a commitment to be members of this church, one small part of the universal, grace-filled, fragile, earthen vessel that is the Body of Christ. Like those earliest disciples, we are called to drink the cup that Jesus drank, to be baptized with the baptism of Jesus, not to be served but to serve. This cup is our life-blood, our connection to the universal life-force that flows within each of us, healing our wounds and giving us strength to bring healing and wholeness to a broken world; this baptism is the water of life, poured over and around us and through us, that we may pour out our lives for the sake of the world.
“Give God the Glory” by Kate Cudlipp
October 11, 2009
We‘re coming to the end of our annual season of recommitment at Seekers Church. 
During the seven weeks of the season we have been invited to reflect on these questions:
What am I being called to offer to God and God’s creation?
How can being a part of Seekers Church support my response to God’s call?
What do I need from and through this community in order to deepen my commitment to Christ?
