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: The Treasure of the Cross
July 24, 2005
Not only can the cross bridge the gulf, but it can do so without casting aspersion on the other side. Each side can lay claim to the Cross without having to say that its belief is right and the other wrong, that its theology is the good theology and the other side’s theology is bad, or that its believers live out their theology more faithfully and with more good result than the believers on the other side.
Doug Wysockey-Johnson: Seeds of Needs
July 10, 2005
There has been an dialogue going on in my head this week with 3 characters. One person in the dialogue represents the particulars of my life; that person is me. Another represents events of the world; that person represented by a Sudanese woman in Dafur whose 18 year old son has been murdered, and she has been raped. The third person is the sower from Matthew, scattering all those seeds. My sermon this morning simply invites you into that dialogue..
Peter Bankson: The Marvelous Mystery of the Easy Yoke
July 03, 2005
This morning I want to raise up three lessons from our Scripture lessons for this week: 1) It is easier to complain out of prejudice than it is to learn from experience. 2) It is harder than I think to do what I want to do, or what I ought, to do. 3) It is a paradox, but Christ calls us to find our peace through following God’s call.

“What God Counts Clean” by Pat Conover

A Sermon for the DC Interreligious Pride Service at Luther Place
Like the Pharisees, most Christians have claimed a specialness that is precious to them; the following of Jesus and the creation of relationships that make us all part of one body. Similarly, we have a wide array of LGBT support groups that help us name, and claim, and celebrate our specialness, that help us with forming and sustaining our new identities, that help us cope with the oppression we face today.
