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.
Cynthia Dahlin: Entering Mystery Through Darkness at the Hospital
February 25, 1996
This year, I have had a wonderful chance to learn about God from the hundreds of patients I have seen, from 8 to 20 a day, coming from many walks of life, some dying, some living with no future diminishment of health in their lives. It has been an amazing time of inner and outer journey.
Elizabeth Vail and Sonya Dyer: Growing Edge Sermon
February 18, 1996
This sermon grew out of a discussion on how to make the Growing Edge Fund visible to the community. As you know our process of sermon making is often organic. This sermon is about the relationship between the individual and the collective (my word for church).
Mary E. Hunt: It Takes So Little To Be Prophetic
February 11, 1996
You might think that mine is a cynical, inside-the-Beltway approach if ever you’ve heard one. But I want to take very seriously your ongoing exploration of prophecy by suggesting that unfortunately it is not all that difficult to be prophetic these days. More’s the pity.
Pat Conover: Anger at Injustice
January 28, 1996
These are the verses following the lectionary selected verses. I picked them because they are relevant to the theme of this sermon, but also to make the point that these kinds of verses are often left out because they deal with anger.
Deborah Sokolove: Considering Incarnation
December 31, 1995
The story of escape to and return from Egypt echoes the tale of Joseph going down into Egypt, and Moses leading the Israelites out again. It is also a foreshadowing of the connection between Jesus and the Passover sacrifice, which is made more explicit at the end of the Gospel.
