YOUR RESEARCH IS SAVED

Every session, every note, every fragment saved to your history. Come back Monday and Sunday's work is exactly where you left it — ready to become this week's sermon.

After your research, SermonDraft offers tools if you want them — nothing is required.

SermonDraft does not write your sermon.

Your words, your theology, your voice come from your relationship with God and your congregation. SermonDraft handles the library work — so you can spend your preparation time where it matters most.

Tools available when you need them

After your research, SermonDraft offers assistance if you want it. These are tools, not steps — use what helps, skip what does not.

IF YOU WANT HELP WITH STRUCTURE

SermonDraft can turn your research into a sermon outline — three points, scripture references, ready to preach from. You write the sermon. This gives you the scaffold if you need one. If you are planning a multi-week series, SermonDraft can help you maintain the arc across weeks — each sermon knowing where it sits in the larger story.

IF YOUR CONGREGATION NEEDS SPANISH

If your congregation includes Spanish speakers, SermonDraft can translate your outline and discussion materials into Spanish. Available when you need it, invisible when you do not.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU HAVE COVERED

Every research session, every sermon, every series is saved in your account. SermonDraft builds a history of your ministry over time — so you can see what you have covered, what you have not, and what your congregation might need next. No blank page on Saturday night.

Also available: story illustrations, discussion questions, social post, PDF export.
