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.
Peter Bankson: Keep Praying
May 23, 2004
Prayer is a collaboration with God. It acknowledges our limits without denying our capabilities or our responsibilities. That is what Paul and Silas did. That is what we need to be doing as we face the terrible circumstances in Iraq, and the minor but frustrating delay in our move. That is what I need to do as I face my call. For many folks, prayer is not the first response when a crisis comes. We need the discipline of daily prayer so that we will be able to keep praying even when times get tough. Prayer under pressure takes discipline.
Sandra Miller: I Am the Resurrection
April 25, 2004
I am the resurrection. This is a heartfelt statement, not an intellectual or overtly theological one. Memories float across my consciousness, and the departed family and friends that people them live again. And for the last two months and two days, every time I feel the hole in my heart and the waves of grief wash over me, my mother, Annette, lives again.
Tiffany Montavon: Touch
April 18, 2004
It is important to know that Jesus honored Thomas’ doubts and his need to touch. Jesus honored doubt. Jesus says, “Thomas, I love you. I am here with you. Touch me. I am yours.” How do you respond when God says, “touch me?”
Pat Conover: From Faithfulness to Pentecost
April 11, 2004
Jesus was not special because of spectacular suffering, as Mel Gibson’s movie would have it. Tens of thousands died on the cross. Indeed, it was the commonness and the shame of the cross that are keys to its meaning, not a call to spectacular suffering.
Deborah Sokolove: Palms and Passion
April 4, 2004
People often live or work too far away to go to a service for an hour in the middle of a busy day, or they only think about going to church on Sunday mornings. Therefore, little by little, many people stopped hearing the story of Jesus’ sufferings. They would come to church on Palm Sunday, and celebrate Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and the following Sunday, it would be Easter. In some ways, it got too easy to forget that death has to come before resurrection.
