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.

Dancing on Behalf of Companionship by Kathy Tobias

Over against this imperial world, Jesus offered an alternative—the manna model of sharing so that each would have enough. Jesus took the side of the poor, knowing that if the poor were taken care of, all would be able to live. Whoever wants to be the first must be slave of all, he said—we are bound to serve one another.

Many of us probably struggled with taking the commitment vow today because the scope of that statement seemed too vast.  Some may have decided not to do so. Whether or not you committed today, to all of us I offer a reminder that we are each a ragged bit of cloth. Alone each of us could never hope to live fully into each facet our promise as a Seeker.

Those of you who are Stewards and were present at last week’s meeting know that I wasn’t there. I didn’t have a good excuse. I wasn’t ill. I wasn’t out of town. I didn’t have a work-related event. I didn’t have a family emergency. I was just, plain tired.

Recommitting to Be the Body of Christ by David Lloyd

In a few moments we will share the elements of Jesus last meal with his followers.  We will say, "This is my body broken for you," and "This is my blood, poured out as the cup of salvation." When she is administering the elements Deborah Sokolove usually says, "Become what you are, the Body of Christ."

My prayer life is very influenced by what I have learned in my recovery group. One of the most important tools this self-help group offers to people with problems is training in how to pray.
