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.

Biblical Storyteller Tracy Radosevic brought the lectionary alive, reciting I Samuel 3:1-20, I Corinthians 6:12-20, and John 1:43-51 as though she had just heard the passages herself and was passing on her excitement at the good news. Afterwards, the congregation was invited to discuss what surprised them in hearing the Word brought in this way.
