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 book of Joshua tells an idealized story of the end of the exodus, the triumph over Jericho and then the land of Canaan, and the genocide of the previous tribes in Canaan.

“A Time to Philosophize, a Time to Pray” by John Morris

Socrates … claimed that if a person truly understood why a certain course of action was unjust, or wrong, or evil, she would cease to do it. …Four hundred years later . . .

I think there are some crucial differences between what Socrates meant and what Jesus meant.
