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.

Sherri Alms: Redemption and the Redneck

June 27, 1999

It is a sermon of stories — stories about forgiveness, what it is and what it isn’t. I can’t guarantee happy endings to the stories I will tell you. I can’t even guarantee that there will be endings to the stories, because that is the way of forgiveness. We cannot force forgiveness. We cannot simply say the words and expect it to be so.

 

Pat Conover: Thankfulness and Enthusiasm

June 20, 1999

Seekers! How much more do you need to see before you truly believe? This Holy Spirit stuff isn’t academic. This isn’t about speculation. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit and we can see that his promise is coming true.

 

Seekers Church Youth Class: The Time Portal

June 13, 1999

Concept: Two clowns from Seekers youth class discover a portal in time that takes them back to the 1st century. They are asked questions about what the Church is like in the 21st century and come back to ask the Seekers congregation the answers, then take them back to Paul and Lydia.

 

John Morris, Carolyn D. Shields and Tiffany Montavon: On Death

June 06, 1999

As Christians, we place our faith in Jesus and believe that death is not the end; we will indeed be with God in paradise. So much for death. But dying is a different matter. Jesus died hard, at the hands of torturers. This may happen to me as well, though my torturers are more likely to be viruses or cancer cells.

 

David Hilfiker: On Capitalism

May 30, 1999

However it actually operates in practice, our economic system is based in a set of five values, each of which runs directly contrary to the Gospel according to which we have chosen to live our lives.
