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.

Taryn Montgomery: Age-In-Place

October 23, 2005

God calls us to meet our neighbors in the midst of their surroundings, oftentimes in the midst of their suffering. This means serving them according to their needs, not what we think is best. It means getting to know them for who they are, not who we want them to be. It means doing for them in the environment they know, not moving them to a place more comfortable for us.

 

Kate Cudlipp: Will We Go On?

October 16, 2005

Over the years, FLOC has become known by the city child welfare agency, the courts and other providers, for the quality and integrity of its program. Now I was telling them that foster care was no longer in FLOC’s future. They said to me, “The board sits up in a room and decides to end this program. You do not know anything about what we do, and you make that decision. You have not sat in a courtroom with a child who throws up on you because there is no one else around, and he is scared. What will become of the children? Will they be abandoned one more time?”
