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.
Working Together: Restoring Hope by Peter Bankson
November 11, 2007
It’s been a long time since I read Haggai … but it didn’t take long once I got started. It’s only 38 verses long. This time the context was important. The prophet Haggai records four dreams given to him over the course of four months in the year 520 BCE. At that point the Israelites had been back from their exile in Babylon for about 18 years. Folks had returned to their villages, rebuilt their homes and resumed their lives. But the temple in Jerusalem was still a pile of rubble. According to the tradition it was Haggai who got things moving to rebuild the temple in just four years. He must have been one of the memorable motivational speakers of his day.

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
October 10, 2007
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."
