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.
Ken Burton: Spiritual Advocacy and Being Chosen as Choosing
October 13, 1996
I find in myself and I hear sometimes in others of us lots of excuses for not responding to various forms of call. Some of us feel, erroneously, I believe, that we are just plain not good enough.
Glen Yakushiji and Liz Vail: Faith Journeys
October 06, 1996
Glen and Liz relate something about the work they do and how it relates to their faith journeys: Glen as technician; and Liz who sees her art as integral to spiritual life.
Ronald Arms: Backwardness Training
September 29, 1996
Jesus is inviting us to participate in backwardness training. We have it all backwards. The direction we are headed does not lead to life. We need to turn around completely and go the opposite way. This isn’t about how far we can push the rules; it is about how far we can push ourselves. It is not about the least I can do and still be in good standing. It is about being totally available to others. This is not about finding a fire escape from hell; it is about finding the spring of living water.
Peter Bankson: Manna Does Not Mean Bread Alone
September 22, 1996
This is a reflection on manna — just enough sustenance each day to keep going until tomorrow. Manna is a story about the “daily bread” that Jesus taught us to pray for. It is about God’s care for the people of the covenant. It is also about how the realm of God is like that who made sure everyone who worked in the vineyard got paid the same at the end of the day.
Diane Willkens: Shoes
September 15, 1996
When I was 15, my family moved to a much larger town. It was a very lonely time for me. Shortly after, I had several chances to play golf with a friend of my parents. He found the time to talk to me and pay special attention to me. I once asked him why he chose me. He said it was because I was the pick of the litter. Well, with five sisters in my family, it was the first time anyone had singled me out as special.
