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.
Margreta Silverstone: Gratitude to a Demanding God?
November 21, 1999
I know I am among the wealthy. I make more money in a year than both my parents did in two years. Recently I was reflecting on how in the 1980’s I couldn’t afford to go out for breakfast more than once a week, and going out for dinner once a week at a fast food joint was a treat. I had to figure out if I could afford the luxury of yogurt. Zephaniah’s message rings like a warning bell for me. Some day God may act and my assets and attitude won’t save me.
“Wedding Reflection” by Marjory Zoet Bankson
November 20, 1999
In our self-centered culture, marriage is a kind of madness! An irrational act! A vote of confidence for the future and a statement of faith in the unknown! You probably also know from watching your parents wrestle with their differences over the years that marriage will change you in the process. That is what I want to talk about just a bit.

Murial S. Lipp: Love
October 31, 1999 One way that helps me — and this is particularly timely for this Thanksgiving season — is to count blessings. I do this before falling asleep at night. It is better than counting sheep, and often I drop off with blessings uncounted. But it does help me to realize how much grace is present in my life. However, I must ask myself: Would I feel so blessed if I were in the Congo with amputated limbs? Or if I were a woman in Afghanistan? I hope so, but I don’t know.
Brenda Seat: Why I Didn’t Want To Recommit
October 17, 1999
I am a “Faith in Jesus” person rather than a “Faith of Jesus” person. I long for traditional non-inclusive language hymns. Saying the Lord’s Prayer in the language that Jesus used — the King James Version. When you are in the wilderness, you seek what is of comfort, you go to places where you found strength before, but it was hard to find those places at Seekers. So why have I stayed?
