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.
Dan Phillips: Cain II
August 08, 1999
I want to tell you a story. This is a tale from the first days, the days when everything was new, when all people knew they were a part of one Family, and when everyone talked and listened to God. It is a tale of life, of worship, and of murder.
Deborah Sokolove: Naming God
July 18, 1999
The first name of God encountered in Scripture is Elohim, in the story of creation. Scholars point out that this is a grammatically feminine, plural form for an old Canaanite god, and then some of them scurry around trying to explain why it doesn’t mean what it seems to mean. Another name, which occurs fairly frequently, is El Shaddai, which means either “God of the Mountains” or “God with Breasts”, take your pick. Somewhere, I read that there are seventy Biblical names for God.
Muriel S. Lipp, Kathryn S. Cochrane, Kathryn J. Tobias, Alan Dragoo and Kate Amoss: Poetry
July 11, 1999
Every couple of months, a group of Seekers get together to read their poetry. This weeks sermon was a poetry reading.
Sherri Alms: Redemption and the Redneck
June 27, 1999
It is a sermon of stories — stories about forgiveness, what it is and what it isn’t. I can’t guarantee happy endings to the stories I will tell you. I can’t even guarantee that there will be endings to the stories, because that is the way of forgiveness. We cannot force forgiveness. We cannot simply say the words and expect it to be so.
Pat Conover: Thankfulness and Enthusiasm
June 20, 1999
Seekers! How much more do you need to see before you truly believe? This Holy Spirit stuff isn’t academic. This isn’t about speculation. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit and we can see that his promise is coming true.
