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.
Pat Conover: Space Discovery
November 01, 1998
[Delivered at a nearby hotel in a special service aimed at helping the community with the spiritual challenge of our search for new space.] I proclaim to you the Seekers time of the movable circle, the holy meal as a picnic, the out-of-control holy meal on a hillside near the chaotic sea.
Marjory Zoet Bankson: Living from Book to Book
October 25, 1998
Each time I thought I’d gotten the answer right, Elizabeth O’Connor came out with another book, which probed and poked my religious imagination into new places.
Deborah Sokolove: Recommitment and Dancing Bears
October 18, 1998
What is “full, conscious and active participation” in the liturgy? And what is the liturgy that we are asked to participate in? I’d like to explore our own practice a little, to share with you some of my understandings of what we are up to in our dancing bear act, what it is that we just recommitted ourselves to.
David W. Lloyd: Healing and Recommitment
October 11, 1998
We are the ones walking the border between the acceptable religious community and the unaccepted. We are the ones the lepers call out to. We are the ones who tell them to show themselves to the priests. What does that mean? Where do we send lepers to show that they have been healed and can rejoin human society? And if they thank us, do we dare to tell them that their faith has healed them?
Margreta Silverstone: Faith – In the Tough Times
October 04, 1998
Have you ever asked for more faith? Am I short of patience? Have more faith. Am I looking for a quick solution to train an aging workforce reluctant to use technology? Have more faith. As though faith was the magic pill, capable of solving all my problems and turning me into Superwoman in the blink of an eye.
