AI Church Toolkit

Sermon Writing with AI


Listen Later

AI can be a valuable tool for sermon preparation, but how can preachers use it responsibly? This episode explores how AI can assist with research, outlining, and revision while ensuring sermons remain authentic, faithful, and pastorally grounded.


Topics covered:

  • AI as a sermon-writing assistant, not a replacement.
  • Common concerns: plagiarism, theological integrity, and authenticity.
  • Practical AI uses:
    • Researching scripture and historical context.
    • Brainstorming sermon themes and outlines.
    • Revising for clarity and flow.
  • Ethical considerations: Citing sources, maintaining a preacher’s voice, and avoiding biases.


Homework:

  • Experiment with ChatGPT to brainstorm sermon ideas for an upcoming Sunday.
  • Draft an outline and reflect on how AI-assisted brainstorming compares to your usual process.
