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.
David W. Lloyd: Feeding Lambs and Tending Sheep
May 03, 1998
The poisonous plants that threaten our Seekers flock, particularly our little lambs, are not false doctrines purporting to be Christian. Rather, they are toxic parts of our secular culture — TV shows, movies, and music, and art that appear to feed our senses but poison our souls. They include beliefs: that we are not responsible for our brothers and sisters, that all things are relative, that the only way to keep hopeless at bay is to claim redress, that everything has monetary value, and that only things with high monetary value are important.
Annamarie White: Jesus on the Shore
April 26, 1998
As a writer, I’ve always loved the story in John 21. It’s so wonderfully tied-together and satisfying. Here are the disciples back in a boat, fishing, the original activity that Christ called them to abandon, when he invited them to become fishers of men instead. [Also includes “Wyoming”, a poem.]
Kathy Cochrane: Creation — God Saw That It Was Good
April 19, 1998
But, you say — “well it says later that we’re supposed to be those with dominion.” Hold on my friends. Not until we comprehend the totality of all of Creation being seen and valued as good by God, can we even approach comprehending the idea of dominion.
Martha Phillips: New Life
April 12, 1998
Here I have a daffodil bulb. She was old and wrinkled. She thought: “I know what’s going to happen to me. I’m going to be buried in the ground just like those other bulbs and that will be the end of me.” Months passed and one day the earth began to warm around the little bulb and she started to stir. She felt a green shoot pushing through the earth and soon it poked through the ground and lapped up the sunshine and rain. She woke with a trumpet and crown of yellow petals. It was her resurrection body. She never knew she could be so beautiful, and to think that she thought she was dead. No matter how old, wrinkled or blemished we think we are there is always the potential for redemption.
Peter Bankson: Finding My Way in the Wilderness
March 22, 1998
Our story begins in the Garden of Eden. Our destination is the New Jerusalem, the City of God. Today we are on the way, where we can’t see where we are heading or where we’ve been. All three characters are essential parts of the Parable of the Loving Parent; and all three story lines are essential paths in the wilderness. We need to honor the faithful, no matter which path they be on.
