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.
Muriel Lipp: Crossing Over
September 22, 2002
The next event, crossing over, would be a walk to Carroll Street. Some want to walk the whole six miles, and Peter is called to carry the cross, and someone else — I don’t know who — our banner. Those who do not trek the whole trip could be picked up by cars along the way. Others might choose to go by subway and help provide the welcome refreshments and participate in a brief service of reception. If this sounds good to you, you might want to get in shape for the walk by practicing up now around your neighborhood. Think and pray about it. There are many ways to participate.
Sherri Alms: A Joyful Response
September 15, 2002
What does it mean to respond joyfully with our lives as the grace of God gives us freedom? I see that we gathered here have much God-given freedom. How do we use that freedom? How do we respond joyfully? How do we move away from responding out of guilt, need, the feeling that no one else will do it if we don’t? How do we find responses that nourish rather than drain us? How do we respond in ways that fill us up with energy for the next thing on the to-do list?
Trish Nemore: Becoming Like Children
September 08, 2002 We can serve children by being present to and with them, being conversational, mentoring even when we do not have a formal mentoring relationship with them. Seekers is called to be an intentionally intergenerational community; we affirmatively create intergenerational opportunities, seeing them as valuable both for adults and children. Sometimes it is easy at our more socially oriented intergenerational events to separate into adult groups and children groups. Everyone is happy, but we lose the chance for greater connection.

Tiffany Montavon: For Gaining the Strength
August 04, 2002
Call feeds work. Work feeds rest, rest feeds Sabbath; Sabbath feeds call. There is much work to be done, individually and corporately, as we follow our calls to love God, and love our neighbors: thus, bringing about the kingdom of God. Moreover, there is great need to set the work down, regularly, for a time, to enjoy the fruits.
