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.

Pat Conover: Taking Care of Each Other

January 30, 2005

You do not have an individual choice about whether you want to pay your Social Security taxes or not so maybe you do not feel virtuous. However, we live in a country that has made repeated choices to first create, and then expand, Social Security.

Deborah Sokolove: Come and See

January 16, 2005

The most well known piece in the show was Christa, a large, bronze crucifix by artist Edwina Sandys that had already been at the center of controversy in New York and Richmond. Everyone who saw this piece readily agreed that it depicted a woman nailed to a cross, in a pose that was similar to innumerable depictions of Jesus at his crucifixion.

Peter Bankson: Call, Ministry and the Gift of Our Imperfect Lives

January 09, 2005

One of the critical issues in the utopian communities that sprang up in this country a century ago centered aground who would do the chores. In theory, if every resident did what he or she wanted to do for the common good, everything they needed would be done. However, no one wanted to clean the toilets. Everyone complained about the mess, and before long, folks were moving out, leaving other chores un-done. It was the beginning of the end.
