How Sermon Prep works

Sermon Prep turns a text into a preachable outline: one big idea, main points that come out of the passage rather than being laid on top of it, supporting verses, illustrations and a clear response. Tell it your tradition, your congregation and the language you preach in, then shape the draft in your own voice.

Example verses

Pastors often return to these texts for Sunday messages, funerals and youth services:

  • Be strong and courageous · Joshua 1:9

    Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

  • Rest for the weary · Matthew 11:28

    Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

  • Grace is sufficient · 2 Corinthians 12:9

    And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

  • What the Lord requires · Micah 6:8

    He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

About Sermon Prep

Give a passage or topic, your tradition and your audience, and Lampfold drafts a sermon outline with a central idea, main points drawn from the text, supporting verses, illustrations and application. Save it to your library and refine it in your own voice.

Supporting verses are checked against the bundled public-domain Bible text and unverifiable references are flagged. The outline is a starting point for your own study and prayer, not a replacement for them.

Try it with: Psalm 23 for a funeral service · The prodigal son (Luke 15) for youth · Hope in suffering for a rural congregation
