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.
Marjory Zoet Bankson: Fear Constricts – Love Expands
April 04, 1999
These Easter sightings changed the world for a band of frightened disciples – and for you and me. They point to an ongoing relationship between the physical realm and the spiritual realm of mysterious connections, serendipitous events and unexplainable occurrences. The bare bones of the Easter story are these: we are linked by loss, called by name and sent forth to bear witness to what we have experienced.
David W. Lloyd: Voices On Passion Sunday
March 28, 1999
As an educated white male upper class American, I insulate myself from misery. My life can become the “Truman Show” or “Pleasantville.” I have to work much harder to encounter suffering. And yet, as the voices today remind me, the voices of suffering are all around me. I only have to exert some effort to hear them. I have developed a moral disability; I cannot hear the cries of the wounded, see their scars, or remember their pain.
“Taking Care of Each Other: Social Insurance Manifested as Social Security” by Pat Conover
March 28, 1999
It isn’t surprising that the attack on Social Security comes from those who are already so well off that they think they do not need the Social Security protections against poverty. The fact that a lot of people are not as protected as they think they are may not make much difference because a lot of people do not like to be reminded of their vulnerabilities.

Kate Cudlipp: An Invitation To Dance
March 21, 1999
I started going to the health club after I suffered an injury that kept me from running for a while. I found lots of things I could do to stay fit. I also rediscovered something: I was not comfortable being nude in the locker room with other nude or near-nude bodies. Nude bodies should be hidden, just as Adam felt when God called to him. It is good to exercise and discipline the body. It is threatening to give the body free rein to dance.
