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.
Paul and Sallie Holmes, Kathryn Tobias, with help from Andy and Caren Holmes: Finding God in South Africa
November 21, 2004
We met Noor, a resident of the former District Six, Capetown, South Africa, who told the apartheid era story of being forcibly removed to another place, along with his 50 homing pigeons, which he kept inside for some months after the move. When he finally did let them go, they did not come home that night. The next morning, as he passed through the razed neighborhood of District Six, as was his custom on the way to work, he found all 50 of them sitting on the exact site where his house had stood, looking at him accusingly as if to say, “Where is our home?”
“Interpretation of the Word: Fear, Faithfulness and Being Called” by Kevin L. Ogle

Habukkuk and Jeremiah lived in troubled, violent and fear-inspiring times. Both prophets feared for and pleaded with God about the fate of the homeland they loved, even as they challenged its leaders and people to repent, humbly turn to God and restore shalom — God’s vision of justice and fairness in the land. We Americans, three years after 9-11, have become increasingly aware that we live in troubled, dangerous times. Many of us have learned to live in fear.

Sandra Miller: Recommitment 2004
October 17, 2004
River of Light, joined together around a call of healing, after 15 months just last week laid down its call. The individuals that comprised that group, of which I was a member, are individually all still called to healing in the world, so why are we no longer a mission group?
Kate Cudlipp: Intentionally on the Way
October 10, 2004
In a conversation I had with Sonya a couple of years ago, she said, “Fred and I began to realize that the form and shape of community would emerge from those in community. When you sound a call for community, people come toward it, and those who come begin to shape it. Who the people are — what they bring — will inform the gospel message that that particular community will be about.”
