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.
Margreta Silverstone: Wilderness
March 15, 1998
I also turned to the work of my hands as a way to work out my grief. This quilt was begun just a week after my miscarriage. I had planned to go in mid-October to my parents to tell them the good news about the pregnancy and to spend time quilting with my mother and other friends. I ended up going home to Lynden and sharing my grief; and I began to work on the quilt.
Rachel Halterman: Is This the Promised Land?
March 08, 1998
As I reflect on the subject of community and Seekers, particularly in connection with our pending search for new space, I am struck by the parallels the story of Abram offers. For example, can we imagine the potential of Seekers as community to become our promised land?
Pat Conover: The Unappreciated Jesus
February 01, 1998
Some of you know that I tend to think dialectically, particularly on matters of spirit and theology. This means that I aim at trying to hold onto multiple truths at the same time, including truths that initially appear to be opposite to each other.
Peter Bankson: The Body of Christ in the World
January 18, 1998
Seekers Church is called to come together in worship rooted in Biblical faith, and disperse commited to implement Christian servanthood in the structures in which we live our lives. The Spirit gives gifts to individuals for building up the Body of Christ. How are you experiencing the gifts of the Spirit? What are you being called to offer back into the world?
Kate Cudlipp: Quid Pro Quo or Gift?
January 11, 1998
Simon was a magician who plied his trade for money. For him, money reflected how he was valued; the better he was at what he did, the more he was worth. A “quid pro quo” outlook characterized his life; everything could be bought for the right price. Although Simon is clearly the bad guy in the story, he more closely resembles what today’s culture values than does Philip.
