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.
“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.
Peter Bankson: What IS This Living Water?
March 07, 1999
One of our best programs in Washington State is being closed because a political shift has dried up the only funding “spring” they had. When dedicated people doing God’s work call in desperation looking for enough money to make their next payroll, it feels like they’ve got the telephone in one hand and a fist-sized stone in the other. Like Moses’ lieutenants, I am in the cash-flow wilderness with local program people all around me, murmuring: “Why did you lead us out here into the desert to let us die of thirst?”
Bob Bayer: Crossing Bridges, Building Bridges
February 28, 1999
Like the Israelites, we walk our personal and community journeys trying to obey God’s promptings. The Spirit’s entree has come through the questions, “What does it mean to be incarnate? Is my sexuality only a source of temptation and pain, or is it also a gift to be celebrated?” Does your spirit dwell within a lively body, or do you feel more like Ezekiel’s dried bones?
