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.

Sandra Miller: Trinity Sunday 2005 Sermon
May 22, 2005
You have to leave stereotypes behind. Being homeless, or being sick, or both, does not mean that someone is broken, or less than anyone else is. To get beyond thinking that living on the street means not having a home is a huge leap. Friday we took in a new resident, our first woman. I was awestruck when I learned that Rosetta has lived on the street at 2nd and D for some 30 years. 2nd and D is her home more than Clydesdale Place is mine. She was known at 2nd and D, and while we hope she will come to be known at Joseph’s House, she is in an alien country right now.
“Trinitarian Bodies” by Anna Gilcher
May 22, 2005
A Sermon for Dayspring Church
Have you been with a small child recently? Have you noticed how fully they give the gift of their bodies, of themselves? And what a joy it is to receive that gift? And how much intimacy grows when that happens? … how much love grows? And how you are both drawn into existing more fully? We are not just “souls” in relationship with God and with each other; we are bodies-in-relationship — with God, with each other, and with ourselves.

Pat Conover: Power and Forgiveness
May 15, 2005
I was baptized as a Presbyterian and I remember being warned against the Pentecostals. I was told they were out-of-control and that glossolalia is not one of the higher gifts. They liked quoting Paul who was not very fond of speaking in tongues. Paul thought it was disruptive to worship and tried to bind it with liturgical rules. So I promptly went to a little backwoods Pentecostal Church I knew about in Leon County.
Where I lived and What I lived for by Andy Holmes
Where I ived and What I lived for by Andy Holmes

I went to Lake DeRuyter to not live life to the fullest, but to slow it down. Life is already full. We see it in the passing cars, passing people, hours, days. But I already know life is full, we just don’t have time to see it. I went to the country to slow down life and see what is to be seen when it is not passing by in a blur.
