A calm place to study, write, preach, print and keep a lifetime of sermons.
It opens like a fresh sheet of paper — and stays out of your way.
Your sermons are private by default. They belong to you.
Let it be with me
Gabriel does not arrive with an argument. He arrives with an address: Greetings, favoured one. Before Mary is asked anything, she is named something.
Notice that her question is not doubt. "How can this be?" is the question of someone already leaning in.
Three: the yes that costs something
Five verbs. One place for all of them.
Most tools cover one part of the week. Sermons.Dev covers the whole arc, from first reading to the printed manuscript in your hand on Sunday.
Study
The passage beside the page. Look one up without leaving the paper, and keep your references with the sermon they belong to.
Write
A blank page with an outline that builds itself as you go. No formatting to fight.
Preach
Large-type SlideControl on phone, tablet or paper — and the congregation’s slides under your own thumb.
Manuscript, preaching notes, outline and slide text from the same draft.
Keep
Every sermon on the day you preached it, searchable by title, passage or series. Yours.
Open the text
Start a sermon on the Sunday it is for. The paper is already waiting.
Find the shape
Move blocks until the argument holds. The outline follows your headings.
Publish the version
Freeze what you will preach. Keep editing the draft — the published version will not change beneath you.
Preach, then file it
SlideControl, then it stays on the calendar with the date you preached it.
AI assists. The pastor authors.
There is no Generate Sermon button here, and there will not be one. The words a congregation hears on Sunday should have been thought by the person saying them.
- Find a passage and put it on the page, with its reference.
- Clean up a paste that arrived wearing another document's punctuation.
- Turn a voice note into text you can edit — in your words, because they were.
- Read a filename and know which Sunday an old sermon belongs to.
- Write the sermon.
- Suggest three points, or any points.
- Improve a sentence you did not ask it to touch.
- Put a word in your mouth that you would not have said.
Twenty years of Sundays, on one screen
One row per year, one square per week, from the first Sunday of January. The empty squares are drawn, not skipped — a sabbatical, an illness, the year the archive begins are only visible if the quiet weeks are still there.
Questions preachers ask
Still unsure? Open a blank page. The first ten minutes will tell you more than any answer here can.
Are my sermons really mine?
They are private to your account by default. Nobody else can open them, and a published preaching version is a private URL that only you can reach. A one-file export of the whole archive is not built yet — when it is, it will be a button, not a support ticket.
Can I bring in sermons I wrote somewhere else?
Yes, one file at a time, from the calendar. Plain text or Markdown: headings arrive as headings, quotations as quotations, bold as bold, and every word survives. If your sermons are in Word, use Save As → Plain Text first.
Does it write sermons for me?
No. AI assists; the pastor authors. It will find a passage, clean up a paste, or turn a voice note into text you can edit — and it never writes the sermon, never suggests three points, and never puts words in your mouth.
What do I actually preach from?
SlideControl: the version you published, at whatever text size reads from your lectern, with the screen kept awake. If you have connected a presentation system it drives the congregation’s slides too — Prev, Go Live, Next, under your thumb.
Can I see my whole preaching year?
The calendar shows a month, a year of twelve small months, every year you have preached as one row a week, or the whole schedule as a list. The Sundays with nothing on them are drawn rather than skipped, because the gaps are the point.
What happens to a sermon after Sunday?
It stays where you preached it. The date holds it on the calendar, the published version stays frozen, and the draft is still yours to keep working on — a sermon preached once is usually not finished with.
Your sermon. Your voice. Your calling.
