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.

This does not mean that we should become anti-intellectual and overly simplistic. There can be a puffed-up kind of knowledge in anti-intellectualism as well as in over-intellectualism. What it does point to is, I think, the difference between the words of experience — words coming from a lived reality — and words that are merely learned, parroted, repeated.

“Seekers as an Open System” by Pat Conover

While ants are not very bright as individuals, they make up a colony that is flexible and adaptive. It is because ants have a small range of fixed action patterns and just enough flexibility to move from pattern to pattern based on very specific and limited information that they can collectively be an ant colony and adjust to important changes in their environments.
