Explore an idea without losing the draft
Ask questions with the manuscript, notes, and sermon title in view so the conversation stays connected to the message you are actually developing.
AI sermon preparation
An AI sermon generator that keeps the pastor in the room.
SermonBuddy helps you use AI around the sermon instead of asking it to replace your study. Start with the passage, bring your questions and sources into one workspace, then use Scribe to explore ideas, structure, illustrations, and applications.
A better AI workflow
Move from a passage to a message with your judgment intact.
The strongest use of AI in sermon preparation is a conversation with the work already in front of you. Keep the text, notes, and developing message in view as you ask for help.
Step 01
Start with the passage and a real question
Record what you observe before asking for ideas. Then ask Scribe to clarify a tension, compare a theme, or surface questions worth researching.
Step 02
Bring research into context
Attach the sources that belong to the sermon and keep their labels visible. Use research to answer the questions raised by the text, not to create a pile of disconnected material.
Step 03
Shape and strengthen the message
Test the central idea, outline, transitions, illustrations, and applications. Keep the final interpretation and pastoral voice with the person who will preach it.
What the workspace supports
AI help that is useful at the point of study.
SermonBuddy is built for the moments between first reading and final delivery, when you need another angle without losing the thread of the message.
Find useful connections
Explore illustrations, related themes, verse suggestions, and application prompts as possibilities to evaluate, not material to accept blindly.
Keep research attached to the sermon
Store source material with the relevant sermon and distinguish ready research from documents that still need processing or verification.
Know what still needs checking
Use a source-aware workflow that makes it easier to identify unsupported claims, quotations, historical details, and original-language questions.
Pastoral judgment
AI can accelerate preparation. It cannot carry pastoral responsibility.
SermonBuddy is designed to support exegesis, not bypass it. You remain responsible for interpreting Scripture, checking claims, honoring sources, and speaking to the people in front of you.
- Use AI to generate questions before you generate conclusions.
- Verify quotes, citations, historical details, and word studies before preaching.
- Edit every suggestion until the message sounds like you and serves your congregation.
Common questions
Before you add another tool to sermon preparation.
Does SermonBuddy write a complete sermon for me?
SermonBuddy is designed as a research and writing assistant. It helps you explore ideas, shape an outline, and strengthen a draft rather than asking you to hand over the entire sermon.
Can I use my own research with the AI sermon generator?
Yes. You can attach research to the sermon and use Scribe with the ready source context. The source status and labels help you know what is available and what still needs checking.
Is SermonBuddy useful for expository preaching?
Yes. The workflow begins with the passage, observation, context, and central idea. You can use the assistant to test questions and applications while keeping the text in view.
Can I start using SermonBuddy for free?
