y’all probably know this already, but I was editing my manuscript this morning to give it my voice. I got the idea to copy several sermons into preach 360, and it radically changed my manuscript in a good way. it sounded so much more like me. of course still final editing needed to be done, but it really captured my phrasing, words i like to use, even how i like to explain the text. quite remarkable. cut my editing time down significantly. i asked the system if i would need to do that each time. (yes), but it suggested i keep about 4 sermons in a folder and have them ready each time.

This short, 3-min video will show you how to naturally connect any text/sermon to the cross of Jesus—without doing theological gymnastics, using allegory, or playing pin the tail on the donkey. Just use this simple, 4-question redemptive framework.

Here are four simple but essential questions to help you gain instant focus, overcome writer's block, and ground your preaching in grace.

The replay of today's workshop is now available for all members. If you're doing sermon prep on your day off, it's time to trade 12+ hours of scattered study for a 4-hour guided process. Yes, you can draft a biblically faithful, theologically robust, gospel-focused expository sermon in a single afternoon. This workshop replay will show you how with a demo of Preach360— the all-in-one sermon OS.

I had a solid 6 hours or so and got this done (I'm expecting to be done with my sermon by the end of day tomorrow since I have all day): Passage: Luke 19:45-48 Keyword: Dwelling Place Main idea: Jesus, the true temple, is rejected and will be destroyed, so that through Him God’s dwelling and access to Him might be restored for His people and the nations. Principle: God's dwelling place is for communion (vv. 46-47a, 48b; Is. 56:7) - We were designed to dwell with God (Gen. 3:8; Rev. 21:3): From Genesis to Revelation, the purpose of humanity is that God would dwell with us in communion. - Dwelling with God is expressed in prayer (v. 46a; Gen. 4:26): Living in communion with God is expressed through calling upon His name in dependence. - Dwelling with God is expressed in being taught by Him (v. 47a): Communion with God is not one-way; God communes with us through His Word as He teaches us by His Spirit. Problem: We exploit God's dwelling place for ourselves (vv. 45, 46b, 47b-48a) - We naturally use God and others for our gain (v. 45): Like the sellers, we use God and others for profit rather than for communion. - We naturally corrupt what is meant for communion (v. 46b): Like the sellers, we turn what is sacred into a means of gain, robbing God of worship and others of access to Him. - We naturally resist God when He disrupts our desires (vv. 47b–48a): Like the leaders, we oppose communion with God when it threatens our control, comfort, or gain. Gospel: Jesus was destroyed to make us God's dwelling place (v. 47; John 2:19-22) - Jesus is the perfect dwelling place of God (Luke 3:21–22; Luke 9:35–36): The Spirit rests upon Him, and He is declared to be the beloved Son in whom God’s presence fully dwells. - Jesus was destroyed so that we wouldn’t be (v. 47): His body was torn down on the cross, bearing the wrath of God for our using, corrupting, and resisting Him, so that we might be built up as God’s dwelling place. - Jesus was raised on the third day to make us God’s dwelling place (John 2:19–22): Though His body was torn down, it was raised up, and now He sends the Spirit to build us into God’s dwelling place.
