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.
“Ol’ Man Mose” by Peter Bankson
December 08, 2002
Whenever I talked about Ol’ Man Mose my parents told me he was “crazy,” and to forget about him. Therefore, I did not talk about him, but I did not forget. When this Gospel lesson comes our way, I cannot help thinking of this strong, self-reliant old man, living a simple life with dignity. The image of Ol’ Man Mose makes John the Baptizer come to life.

Kathryn Tobias: Penduka!
December 01, 2002
Not far from Katatura, Nambia is a small body of water, a lake on which a former country club for the wealthy has been converted to a women’s craft co-op. The name of the co-op is Penduka and the meaning of Penduka is “Wake up!”
Gerald Kuester: Is Jesus Christ Your King?
November 24, 2002
An important quality of a king is being wise. The stories of King Solomon’s wisdom are legendary. Likewise, Pontiac, chief of my people, the Ottawa, showed great wisdom when he settled for peace rather than sacrificing his warriors in a fight to the last. Another quality of an anointed leader, was his ability to center his people, to get them to focus on the task. Pontiac was able to do that because he had a vision, a vision of a pan-Indian nation, which he effectively communicated. Does Jesus Christ meet these simple criteria of an anointed leader?
Pat Conover: Peace, Justice and Tribalism
November 17, 2002
I remember what it was like as a teenager to feel I had no tribe, to feel everyday danger. I remember carrying a sawed off shotgun in my trunk because I was afraid of the police in Tallahassee. I remember having my phone tapped by the Chicago Police Red Squad or the FBI. Back then, you could hear the clicks. I remember that the FBI broke into my mother-in-law’s high school English Class to question her in front of her students as to whether she thought I was a Communist. I remember losing jobs and careers because I risked for my faith.
