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.
Peter Bankson: The Bread of Life and the Life of Bread
August 13, 2000
This morning, as fresh bread rises on the altar, I want to look at what it means to be the “bread of life;” then I want to spend a few minutes standing the image on its head, sharing some ideas about the “life of bread.” The Bread of Life and the Life of Bread.
Dan Phillips: Diversity in Herstory – Babel
August 06, 2000
Children often wonder why their parents make them do hard things: such as clean their rooms, or go to school, not realizing that the parent wants what is best for them. Like those children, the people of Babel felt very much like God was beating them for some sin. However, it was not like that. God has never been afraid of people, or what they can do. She knows that any mature approach to life, spirituality or even space travel must be based on the awareness that not everyone is exactly alike, and that all deserve equal consideration. Until we learn this, nothing will work right for us humans.
Kate Amoss: Good Grief
July 30, 2000
August 5 and August 7 are charged dates for me. Twenty-five years ago on August 5, a dear friend was violently killed while coming to the aid of a hitchhiker. He was buried on August 7. Nine years ago, on August 5, I learned of my brother’s, accidental death. He had fallen, perhaps jumped from a roof. He was buried on August 7. Three years ago, a car, hit my cat on August 5, two days before my mother’s death from cancer on August 7. As this week approaches, I am aware that I have grieved some of my losses well but not all of them.
Kathy Cochrane: The Most Recent 27 Years of Call
July 23, 2000
The industrial-mechanical view of nature has removed God from the picture. The exploitation of the globe becomes the end of the human’s physical activity. Nature is handed over to the forces of secularism.
Jim Dickerson: Call and Corporate Mission
July 16, 2000
One of our biggest struggles has been what I call the “week day Church vs. the Sunday Church”. We have a full house and many activities going on 7 days per week. Over the years and at various times, the weekday and Sunday church has grown apart with only a few of us working to keep the two connected. In the Shaw neighborhood, it is estimated that 80% of the members of Churches there come from outside the neighborhood, further promoting a sense of isolation and estrangement between them and the “bad” neighborhood around them.
