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.
“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?
“Be Not Too Hard” by David Lloyd
October 4, 2009
Be not too hard for life is short and nothing is given to man.
Be not too hard when he’s sold or bought for he must manage the best he can.
Be not too hard when he blindly dies fighting for things he does not own
And be not too hard when he tells lies or when his heart is sometimes like a stone.
Be not too hard for soon he’ll die, often no wiser than he began.
Be not too hard for life is short and nothing is given to man.
And nothing is given to man.
Speaking of Addiction
September 20, 2009
A group of Seekers who are in various stages of recovery from addiction to drugs or alcohol told part of their personal stories. We were reminded of the courage, discipline, and faith required to confront and recover from addictions, and challenged to consider the addictions in our own lives.
“This is My Body” by Sandra Miller
September 13, 2009
Good morning. So, how do I look? Last week I was told I looked elegant. It was nice to hear. This week I’m going for smashing. Did I succeed? It is not mere vanity that moves me to begin this way, and hopefully you will understand me as saying that I have been beautifully and wonderfully made in the image of God. When I look at the trees in all their green finery or think about their fall raiments I know that God likes nice clothes too.
