Outcome: a usable sermon outline to preach from, not a script to read word for word.

  1. Open ChatGPT or Claude.
  2. Give it your main scripture passage and the core message you want to communicate.
  3. Ask for a structured outline: hook, 3 main points with supporting scripture, and a closing application.
  4. Use the outline as your scaffold, preach or teach it in your own voice.

Sample prompt: Outline a message on [passage/topic]. Structure it as: hook, 3 main points each with supporting scripture, and a closing call to action.

Pro tip: Ask for a one-sentence version of your main point too, useful for promoting the message on social media.
