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.

"Working Toward a Global Renaissance" by Jackie McMakin
March 30, 2008
Move with me to a conference held several years ago in downtown DC. Asked to introduce ourselves in our small groups, an attractive white haired woman began:
My name is Elsa Porter. I see the world like this. We are either headed for a global renaissance or a disaster. I’m putting my whole life behind working for the renaissance.
What a fantastic way of seeing things. Without thinking, I said to myself, "Me too!" This sermon explores how this has unfolded.

Easter Sunday is the culmination, the pinnacle of the church year. And this ancient proclamation of the resurrection is at the heart of our faith. But what does it mean to say “Christ is risen”???

“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.
