Why This Matters

Sermon notes beforehand can be the difference between meaningfully engaging with the Gospel and barely following along.

• People with disabilities (and especially neurodivergent people) struggle with learning, processing, and focusing.
• We know some churches prefer not to share notes beforehand - which is up to your discretion of course - but we do encourage you to share so that everyone can fully engage!
• This is also super helpful for youth group, small groups, and more! </aside>

Sermon Notes Made Easy

The following is a prompt to give to an AI like Chat GPT that will convert your sermon prep into shareable notes!

Clean and prepare the following sermon notes for sharing with church members.

Requirements:

• Preserve the sermon’s theology, tone, and intent

• Rewrite into a clear, readable, screen-reader-friendly format

• Use short paragraphs, bullet points where helpful, and clear section headers

• Remove internal prep notes, speaker cues, or stage directions

• Keep language accessible (roughly 8th-grade reading level)

• Do not add new theology or ideas — only clarify and organize what’s already here

Bible verses:

• Include all relevant Bible verses referenced or implied in the notes

• Write verses out in full (use ESV unless another translation is specified)

• Place verses directly under the section they support

Output structure (use this order):

1. Sermon Title

2. Big Idea / Main Theme (1–2 sentences)

3. Key Scripture(s) (written out)

4. Sermon Breakdown

   – Clear sections with headings

   – Supporting verses under each section

   – Plain-language explanations

5. Weekly Reflection & Application

   – Exactly 3 reflection questions

   – Questions must help people apply the sermon during the week

   – Mix personal reflection + practical action

   – Avoid yes/no questions
