Sermon prep can eat up a pastor's week. Between commentaries, cross-references, outlines, and illustrations, the writing process often takes longer than the preaching itself. Sermonly was built to fix that — an all-in-one sermon writing platform designed specifically for pastors, by pastors.^1
A product of Tithely — the church tech platform trusted by over 50,000 churches in 50 countries — Sermonly brings sermon writing, research, and organization under one roof.^2 At its core is a clean, distraction-free writing environment with built-in Bible access across multiple translations, so you can move between writing and Scripture without switching tabs.^1
What sets Sermonly apart is its AI Researcher, which helps pastors generate sermon outlines, character studies, historical context, and modern-day illustrations of biblical topics. Think of it as a research assistant that can surface insights in seconds — not to replace the pastor's voice, but to accelerate the discovery process.^3 Sermonly also offers a Snippets feature with a Chrome extension, letting pastors clip quotes, articles, and content from around the web into a personal library that's always ready to pull into a sermon.^4
Practical details matter too: a read-only preaching mode prevents accidental edits while you're in the pulpit, customizable templates help maintain your sermon structure week to week, and tags keep your growing sermon library searchable.^1 You can import existing sermons from Word, Pages, or text files, so nothing gets left behind. Sermonly works across web and iOS, meaning your sermons follow you wherever you go.^5
