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: Entering Mystery Through Darkness
April 17, 1996
I want to offer an image from each of these stories: Jesus heals a beggar; a visit to the orphanage in Duc Pho in Vietnam; and the kindergarten massacre in Dunblane, Scotland. Then I want to offer a few reflections on the idea that suffering creates the opportunity to reveal God’s works in the world.
Kevin L. Ogle: Seekers Eucharist
April 10, 1996
I want to share the broad strokes of the contextual interpretation of Paul’s letter to the Romans that Dr. Jewett says has been crystallizing for him in the past several years as a way into not only today’s text from Romans, but to highlight meanings of the Gospel that the Lord’s Supper also proclaims.
Cynthia Dahlin: Entering Mystery Through Darkness at the Hospital
February 25, 1996
This year, I have had a wonderful chance to learn about God from the hundreds of patients I have seen, from 8 to 20 a day, coming from many walks of life, some dying, some living with no future diminishment of health in their lives. It has been an amazing time of inner and outer journey.
Elizabeth Vail and Sonya Dyer: Growing Edge Sermon
February 18, 1996
This sermon grew out of a discussion on how to make the Growing Edge Fund visible to the community. As you know our process of sermon making is often organic. This sermon is about the relationship between the individual and the collective (my word for church).
Mary E. Hunt: It Takes So Little To Be Prophetic
February 11, 1996
You might think that mine is a cynical, inside-the-Beltway approach if ever you’ve heard one. But I want to take very seriously your ongoing exploration of prophecy by suggesting that unfortunately it is not all that difficult to be prophetic these days. More’s the pity.
