Narrative Sermon Writing Assistant-AI tool for sermon writing

Example

A preacher preparing a sermon on the story of Jonah is guided through the N-technique, with each step focusing on a part of the biblical narrative: M1 (Presenting Jonah's call), M2 (Revealing the crisis of Jonah's disobedience), M3 (Relating Jonah’s experience of running from God to contemporary struggles), and so forth. This creates a sermon that mirrors the ebb and flow of the original story.

Scenario

A pastor tasked with preaching on Jonah is unsure how to develop the sermon structure to maintain theological depth and narrative engagement. The assistant helps break down each scene into digestible parts while ensuring the message is clear and relevant.

Example

In a sermon on the story of Peter’s denial of Christ, the Fallen Condition Focus (FCF) highlights human tendencies toward fear and denial under pressure, while the Central Message Theme (CMT) centers on Christ’s redemptive forgiveness. The Assistant ensures that both these elements are tied together clearly, providing theological richness to the sermon.

Scenario

A seminary student preparing a message on Peter's denial seeks to avoid a moralistic reading of the text and instead wants to highlight human sinfulness (FCF) and God’s grace (CMT). The Assistant helps balance these two aspects, ensuring the sermon remains gospel-centered.

Example

A preacher preparing an introduction for a sermon on hope during suffering uses the Assistant to find an inspiring quote from Viktor Frankl: 'Man can choose his attitude in any given set of circumstances.' This sets the tone for discussing Christian hope in the midst of trials.

Scenario

While preparing a sermon on enduring through hardships, a pastor is searching for a powerful illustration or quote to begin their sermon. The Assistant provides several options from notable figures like Frankl and Martin Luther King Jr., helping to ground the biblical message in a way that resonates with a modern audience.
