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.
“Waving Palms and Shouting Hosannas” by Deborah Sokolove
March 16, 2008
Every year, when we come to this day, the Sunday before Easter, Celebration Circle asks, which lections shall we read? Perhaps we should celebrate Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and read Matthew 21:1-11 – as we just did – from the liturgy of the Palms. In many churches, everyone waves palm fronds and shouts “hosanna!” When memory merges with present reality, when we enter the story that we have heard so many times that we can nearly recite it by heart, we become the crowd that greeted Jesus as he entered Jerusalem riding on a borrowed donkey.

“Solid Ground?” by Anna Gilcher
March 12, 2008
I’m thinking about eyes being opened, about being made to see. I’m thinking about dead bodies coming alive. I’m thinking about bones coming together, about the intimacy of healing, about the connection we have to the earth.

“Good News of Shepherd’s Table” by Jacki Coyle
March 2, 2008
I am humbled to share a story of my own blindness with you and hopefully to offer to you the time to look into the eyes of your own heart and soul and to see the areas where you might be blind. It is particularly good to be able to share the good news of Shepherd’s Table and to thank you for the gift of your partnership.
