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.
Kate Amoss: Jigsaw Jesus
August 29, 1999
Throughout the gospel, Jesus touches and is touched. Compassionate touch is central to his ministry. He touched children and women as well as men. He touched untouchables.
Peter Bankson: Manna- What Is This Stuff?
August 22, 1999
Reflecting on the stories of manna and the Canaanite woman who asked Jesus to heal her child suggests a relationship between hunger and learning: Hunger invites focus. Focus invites mindfulness. Mindfulness invites learning.
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.
