Need Sermon Series Ideas? Use This Free Generator

Getting sermon series ideas can sometimes be a challenge.

Unfortunately, the internet is filled with bloggers posting mediocre content with half-put-together Biblical foundations.

Or worse... It's just AI-generated slop with references to wrong scriptures!

To help you avoid this, I've created a free sermon series generator that's been designed to give you unlimited preaching series ideas. As a bonus, I'll show you how it works and how you can even create your own!

Unlimited Church Sermon Series Ideas

The generator I built was made with ChatGPT.

Now, before you decide to use it, or send me hate mail calling me a heretic, let's get 3 things out of the way:

• ? It’s just a tool. Like a commentary or sermon outline book, it’s meant to spark ideas, not replace your calling or the Holy Spirit.
• ⛪ It’s made for pastors. I built it specifically with church leaders in mind—it asks you pointed questions that will help you create a sermon series for YOUR church.
• ? It’ll save you hours. Instead of wading through blog posts or Pinterest rabbit holes, you’ll get a fresh list of sermon series ideas in seconds.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way... You can access my Free Sermon Series Generator.

Using the Sermon Series Generator

Using the generator is very straightforward. Just answer the questions it asks. These questions include:

• Your church denomination
• How many weeks do you want your sermon series to be
• What date do you want this sermon series to start 
• Bible translation you use
• Whether you want this series to be textual or topical
• Any Topical or Textual Ideas you have in mind

Going beyond basic questions for crafting your series, this generator even takes into account major events and asks if you'd like to incorporate them into your sermon preparation, like this:

After you complete the questions, the generator will get to work crafting your series. Notice just how personalized it is for your church. The generator includes the book of the bible, the current events, your preferred translation, and even makes sure your lessons align with your denominational theology!

I love the weekly breakdown this tool gives in this example. This is great because it helps give direction, but still puts the ownership of teaching and prep for the message back on me (as it should). We just have to remind ourselves that AI resources are mathematical machines, not spiritual beings who believe in Jesus like we do.

In addition to giving you a structure for your preaching series, the generator will even help you with the creation of graphics and other media. All you need to do is ask. 

Generate Your Own Preaching Series

You don't need to use my generator to create your next sermon series. You can leverage basically any AI tool and prompt it with the right questions, passages, or outlines. 

You could even take things to the next level for your congregation by prompting a GPT with information like:

• Which book of the Gospel or area of the New Testament do you want to focus on
• Sermon illustrations or collections you've already created
• Ministry milestones or local cultural traditions

Here's a prompt I made to give you an idea of how to do this yourself. Notice how I've really made this into a conversation...

Before Using AI To Craft Your Next Sermon Series

Before you use AI (or basically anything on the internet) to get topics or help you craft something like your Advent sermon series... I think it's best to remember these 3 things. 

1. AI is a tool, not the Teacher.
Let the Holy Spirit and Scripture lead your prep. Use AI for ideas, NOT inspiration.

2. Test everything against the Bible.
AI pulls from all kinds of sources. Always check it against God’s Word and sound doctrine.

3. Don’t shortcut your calling.
Preaching is shepherding. Don’t hand off the holy work of sermon prep to a machine.

FAQS

How do I choose a sermon series? Start by considering the spiritual needs of your church right now. What’s your congregation facing? What truths from Scripture would most help them grow? From there, think seasonally (like Easter or back-to-school perhaps), thematically (like faith, discipleship, etc.), or go book-by-book through Scripture. The sermon series generator is designed to help you ask these very questions and surface the right ideas for your context.

How do you come up with a sermon series? You answer questions about your church, your preferred style (topical or textual), and even the Bible version you use. From there, it creates a personalized framework you can build on with your own prayer, study, and prep.

How long should a sermon series be? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here. Some series are three weeks, others stretch across a season. A typical series is 4–6 weeks long—just long enough to dive deep, but short enough to keep people engaged. The generator lets you pick the number of weeks based on your church calendar.

Can I use this to generate sermon graphics, too? Absolutely. While the main focus is sermon structure, you can ask it to help generate design ideas, image prompts, series titles, and more. Use it to speed up your creative process! 

What if I don’t like the results? That’s totally fine! Just tweak your answers and try again. Think of it like brainstorming with a really fast assistant—you’re still in charge of the final direction.
