Can AI Preach My Sermon?

“We have crossed a strange and significant line. For centuries, those who gathered to hear the preaching of God’s Word could safely assume that the messages they heard were prayerfully prepared by a human pastor. That pastor was someone called by God, shaped by Scripture, and burdened with the task of proclaiming it. In 2026, that assumption can no longer be made.”

What Is Biblical Preaching?

“But let’s be clear what that means: you take a topic, explore everything the Bible has to say about it, and proclaim it. In other words, you present a biblical theology. The best topical preaching is nothing more than expositional preaching focused on a topic. You bring everything the Bible has to offer to bear on a singular need, question or concern.”

5 Ways Pastors Can Grow in Their Preaching

“While it will take several hours to produce a sermon, it takes a lifetime to produce the preacher. No one can create an effective Bible preacher. No process of training can ensure the quality of the end product because preaching involves many different aspects of mind and personality. However, we can be thankful that God gives his gifts of grace to the church so that within local churches there are those whom he gifts as pastors and teachers.”
