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 J. Dahlin: Prophesy in Our Small Acts
February 04, 2001
We don’t know whether there were any Old Testament people who decided to go back to sleep and ignore what was told to them, thinking perhaps it was just a bad dream, or that they’d be crazy to talk about what they’d heard God say to them. Here at Seekers, we try to listen to call, and discern what is being asked for us. We have the discipline of talking about call to others to try to avoid resisting what we are to do for too long.
David W. Lloyd: The Best Way of All
January 28, 2001
As a seaport that had sojourners from everywhere, Corinth was rife with their gods and goddesses. Devotees would consult seers and oracles. Some claimed to interpret omens. Some appeared to have the gift of healing. Despite the similarity of these behaviors and gifts, the devotees of these various mystery religions claimed that they were different since they belonged to different gods and goddesses.
Pat Conover: Beulah Land – For Whom?
January 14, 2001
In the context of platonic thought, it is easy to frame an image of Jesus as the manifestation of saving truth, as the revelation of eternal love, as the purpose of God the creator. That kind of language does not make sense to Aristotelians and it is a primary reason there is an unnecessary disconnect between scientists and Christian theologians in our time.
Rachel Halterman: Waiting For God’s Call
January 07, 2001
This sermon is dedicated to all of us who do not now have a call, have never had a call and/or may never have one. The quotation from Isaiah, part of our reflection piece this season, epitomizes my frustration in this community. I have been a part of Seekers Church for about ten years now, and in all that time I have been waiting for God to call me. And waiting. And waiting.
