Questions
Know what you're choosing
Will this write my sermon for me?
It gives you a strong starting point: a manuscript, an outline, illustrations. Check the Scripture, weigh the claims, and adapt every draft to your theology, your congregation and your own voice before you preach it.
What is the difference between Free and Pro?
Free is one illustration in your inbox every Tuesday, with no account or card. Pro is the whole preparation week: all six illustrations and the archive, the sermon creator, six on-demand tools, Scripture study and Ask PreachReady.
What happens after the 7-day trial?
Nothing is charged. The trial needs no card and does not convert automatically. Subscribe from your account if you want to keep Pro. Previous trial users may not be eligible for another trial.
Does it fit my tradition?
The sermon creator lets you choose from thirteen traditions and uses the one saved in your account by default. Weekly themes follow the church year.
Which languages does it support?
English, French, Spanish and Arabic, including right-to-left layout for Arabic. A finished manuscript can be translated between all four.
Can our church use it on our website?
Yes, through Shepherd, a separate product: a faith assistant on your church's own site that answers visitors' questions within your doctrine. See Shepherd for churches.
