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.
Prelude by The Teen Clowns: The Annunciation
December 07, 1997
Angel Gabriel: Don’t be afraid, you will have a baby boy and name him Jesus. He will be great and God will give him the throne of David and his reign over Israel will never end. Mary: No, you don’t understand. I’m a virgin. Joseph and I are old fashioned and are waiting until we’re married.
Marjory Zoet Bankson: Advent and Apocalypse
November 30, 1997
Think of the tension for those early believers who thought the end of time was coming in their lifetime. How did they manage to keep their faith and give birth to a new generation when they expected the Apocalypse? Converts, yes. Babies, no — and yet we know children are conceived in times of war. Something in us yearns for life, maybe more when the end is near.
Kodwo Ankrah: The Church in Africa and My Participation in its Work
November 16, 1997
I was born at Anomakee, in the Central Province of Ghana, into a community , steeped both in the traditional African Religion on the one hand and in the Christian teaching of the two major Christian denominations, Roman Catholic and Methodist on the other hand.
Jeanne Marcus: Salvation History Lessons
November 09, 1997
The story seems more Naomi’s than Ruth’s. Ruth marries Boaz, and gives birth to a son. But the strange thing is: from that point on, nothing is seen or heard of either Ruth or Boaz again. They disappear! Instead, everyone turns to Naomi, congratulating her on the baby who restores her to life.
Dan Phillips: A Faith Trip to China
October 26, 1997
What did China offer as a stop on the Faith Journey? First, it taught the immediacy of prayer. Every time we climbed into an automobile there, we began to pray. It had something to do with the traffic. The Chinese do not stop! I saw no stop signs in the entire country, and only a minimum of traffic lights. Instead, they come to a corner, and slow down, and merge into the oncoming traffic. Now this approach is very scary to an American, but it works there. And over time I came to understand that there is a method to this seeming madness: they trust each other.
