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.
David W. Lloyd: Recommitting to Our Master in a Post-9/11 World
September 11, 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?”
Sandra Miller: Time for Reflection

The passage from Matthew harshly instructs me to treat an unrepentant offender as my enemy. How do these instructions fit with “If your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.” The notion of overcoming evil with good appeals to me, but that by doing so is the equivalent of heaping coals on the heads of evildoers is rather, hmm barbaric.

Anna Gilcher: Deeper into the Dance

I would propose that what Jesus and the Canaanite woman are doing is, in a manner of speaking, dancing together. They are both willing to dance, and they are both changed by the dance.
Deborah Sokolove: Wading into Deep Water
July 31, 2005
This is not to say that the crucifixion and resurrection were not important to early Christians, but rather that other images captured their visual imaginations. Where Christ is pictured, it is often as the Good Shepherd, the one who carries the lost sheep to safety on his shoulders. One of the most frequently seen images in early Christian art is that of people at table, usually with representations of bread and fish, and sometimes wine.
