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.

"A Born Again Congregation" by Pat Conover

June 11, 2006

We need to break camp every morning, break the circle every morning, and re-gather at the end of the day. Finding the circle in the evening is not automatic, but we cannot remember our direction without breaking camp. We cannot find food for the journey without breaking camp. We cannot find new companions for the journey without breaking camp. Moreover, we will miss important dimensions of trust if we do not break camp.

"Called to be Shepherds" by David W. Lloyd

May 7, 2006

The psalmist puts us in the role of the sheep, and in the psalm, we bask in the care of the good shepherd. The truth is that all human beings spend a lot of time being sheep, wanting someone to take care of us.

“Already in Progress” by Deborah Sokolove

April 30, 2006

We are born into a family that already has a history. We move to a new town in the middle of the school year and have to find our way into a social structure that has already been established. We worship at a new church and do not know how to get beyond the first, polite “hello.” If we stick around past that hello, we hear mysterious snatches of conversation about issues and concerns that we do not understand; inscrutable references to events that happened a long, long time ago; and enigmatic quotations from documents that we have never read.
