Outcome: a usable sermon outline to preach from, not a script to read word for word.
- Open ChatGPT or Claude.
- Give it your main scripture passage and the core message you want to communicate.
- Ask for a structured outline: hook, 3 main points with supporting scripture, and a closing application.
- 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.
