Sermons

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.

We are called to believe that God’s kingdom is always present, always poised to break through the veil held up by the “gods of this world” and that we have the responsibility-and the power, as God’s children-to see the signs of that other world and join forces.

 

Deborah Sokolove: What does the Voice of God Sound Like?

January 19, 1997

A youngster…had asked a spontaneous question during a church service… The child was standing on the chancel steps with other boys and girls who had come forward for the children’s sermon. Before [the preacher] had spoken her first words to them, the boy asked, “What does the voice of God sound like?
