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.

"Resolutions" by Doug Wysockey-Johnson

January 08, 2006

1) New Years resolutions are a waste of time for me. I will fail. 2) Epiphany commitments on the other hand, are worth considering. Epiphany commitments have something to do with attempting to see What Christ is going to be up to this year, how he is manifesting himself in 2006 and how I might be a part of that.

Peter Bankson: Jesus: God’s Gift that Keeps on Giving

December 25, 2005

God’s gift of Jesus is like a Leatherman Multitool. The tool was gleaming stainless steel with fourteen functions — knife and saw, screwdrivers and pliers, awl and opener, and two rulers, in metric and English. From that day forward, the tinkerer went about the community ready to help in ways never before imagined — slicing meat in the kitchen for the community Christmas Eve supper, sawing through the ice dam on the roof to help reduce the roof leak, tightening the legs of the wooden tables, smoothing the maple on the reredos and keeping his nails trimmed.

“The Realm of God is Like a Risky Investment” by Peter Bankson

November 13, 2005

Last spring, when Reverend Lola signed up for a class in our School of Christian Living it felt like a new chapter in our life as a faith community. Oh, in the past we have welcomed folks to our school who were not part of our worshiping community, but when you came here to be with us on Tuesday evenings it felt like a real welcome to our new home. Now you are sharing our space. Thanks be to God!
