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.
Marjory Zoet Bankson: Night Sky and Empty Bowl
December 13, 1998
Three themes: The altar, empty bowl and night sky, as a reminder of inbreaking newness; The Gospel lesson, the political scene now and a possibility for growing our souls; “Just enough,” and two Sabbath experiences.
Pat Conover: Seeking Outside the Circle
December 06, 1998
If you are grounded in the love of Jesus you have no reason to fear full and honest conversation with other religions. It is only if you think that Christianity is a big argument, or if your faith is based on reasoning about things you can’t know, that you can become confused by Buddhism, or Hinduism, or Hopi.
David W. Lloyd: Celebrating From Pentecost Into Advent
November 29, 1998
The Advent theme this year is “Just enough.” I have struggled to understand why the Celebration Circle has chosen this as a theme for Advent. The messages from the Hebrew Scriptures for today are not about finding or receiving “just enough.”
Jim Hall: Building an Ark for Earth Scripture: Tending God’s Wilderness Word
November 22, 1998
As we retell the story of John proclaiming God’s wilderness word along the Jordan River, we remember the story of the Jordan itself. For a thousand years since King Solomon of Israel had begun intensive logging of the Cedars of Lebanon, the Jordan watershed had been deteriorating. This deforestation left the river prone to floods. It was to John and the Jordan, that Jesus came to immerse himself in a ministry of redemption for the landless, the landed, and the landscape.
