A free resource hub for pastors

Best for deep-dive series through a book of the Bible.

1. 1.Read the passage aloud in KJV — the same translation your congregation holds.
2. 2.Identify the natural literary unit (a paragraph, a parable, a paragraph of argument).
3. 3.State the original author's main point in one sentence.
4. 4.Walk verse-by-verse and explain meaning, context, and cross-references.
5. 5.Apply: How does this passage rebuke, correct, instruct (2 Tim 3:16)?
6. 6.Close with one Christ-centered call to action and a prayer.

Best for felt-need Sundays, holidays, or a stand-alone message.

1. 1.Define the topic in one sentence the youngest believer can repeat.
2. 2.Pick 3–5 KJV passages that converge on the topic — diverse books strengthen the case.
3. 3.For each passage, give context first so you aren't proof-texting.
4. 4.Build the message around one main proposition with 2–4 supports.
5. 5.Anticipate objections from your congregation and answer them from Scripture.
6. 6.End with a clear 'this week, do this' application.

Best for Old Testament stories, the Gospels, Acts.

1. 1.Retell the story in your own words — set scene, conflict, climax, resolution.
2. 2.Anchor it in the larger redemptive arc of Scripture.
3. 3.Identify the character(s) the listener naturally identifies with.
4. 4.Reveal where Christ is in or behind the story.
5. 5.Draw out 1–2 timeless truths the original audience and we share.
6. 6.Apply concretely — what does Tuesday look like because of Sunday?

Overlay on any of the above to keep every sermon gospel-saturated.

1. 1.Ask: How does this text reveal something true about God's character?
2. 2.Ask: How does this text expose the human condition or sin?
3. 3.Ask: How is this text fulfilled, embodied, or answered in Christ?
4. 4.Ask: How does the gospel change how my people live this out Monday?
5. 5.Land the plane on Christ — not just on moralism.
