Sermons

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.

Elisabeth Dearborn: A Sermon in Stones

November 10, 2002

Having spent five years in this community as a Quaker-at-large, I now find myself prompted by divine guidance to return to my home among Quakers. This fall I began attending Meeting for Worship again. I had a teacher who used to talk about living our way into the next phase of our Truth. The words dry up if we don’t live into them.

 

Sandra Miller: We are Community

October 27, 2003

Last week on Recommitment Sunday, I looked around this room and was struck sharply, not for the first time but poignantly, that as much a part of us as this sanctuary is, this sanctuary is not us; it is not Seekers. We are Seekers, the oldest and the youngest among us, the longest and the newest among us. And it is our commitment to being intentional in our Christian lives that holds us together.

 

"How am I faithful to God?" by Sandra Miller

October 23, 2002

What does faithfulness to God mean in your life?  Not faith in God, but faithfulness to God.  Not just trusting that God exists, but living out faithfulness to God by obeying God, not out of submission, but with joy.

 

Peter Bankson: Commitment to Call

October 20, 2002

Dealing with call is a central part of what makes us who we are. It is one key reason why we have this day of recommitment every year. This way we can be clear and current about the way God’s call is growing within each of us as individuals and in our midst as a faith community. And we can celebrate and hold each other accountable for our commitment to this living, growing call from God.
