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.
John Mayer or John the Baptist by Kjersten Priddy
December 10, 2006
…as Americans we are very busy with the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, but as Christians we are waiting. Advent is a season of waiting. We are waiting for the coming of the King, waiting for the birth of the Savior, waiting for the One who will redeem the world. We are so eagerly waiting that when the day finally comes and we are presented with our Savior, the infant Jesus, there is almost a feeling of disappointment. This is the One we have been waiting for.
“A Homily for Advent” by Ken Burton

The academic year ended badly, with me dropping out of seminary before the end of the spring term, never to return. One of the theological concepts that I picked up during that those hard months was that of the proleptic presence of the Kingdom. This is the idea that the Reign of Christ is both a much-anticipated future event and a real and living present reality.

Today is both the first Sunday in our new liturgical year, somewhat prosaically designated “Year C,” and the First Sunday in Advent. If there is one single word that best describes the spirit of Advent, that word is waiting. Moreover, if we get two words to sum it up, they might well be anticipatory waiting. Something is about to happen, something big, something important, something special. In the words of our liturgical theme, taken directly from Jeremiah 33, “The days are surely coming!”

I have always had trouble with a lot of gladness. I find it much easier to focus on the need and look for the gladness to sustain me than the other way around. I am beginning to see, however, that there is an equally valid path to call that begins with gladness and leads to a place where that gladness crosses paths with a deep need.
