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.

This year’s pilgrimage was a time for me to think about who God seems to be calling us to be.

“Honoring Our Prophets” by Marjory Zoet Bankson

Webster’s dictionary defines a prophet as "one who speaks for God as though with divine guidance."  Many people recognized Jesus as a prophet, but our Gospel reading for this morning describes the rejection of Jesus by his own family and close neighbors: "Prophets are not without honor, except in their hometown, and among their own kin, and in their own house,"  Jesus tells his disciples. Is that because they knew him too well?
