Free forever, no email required. Download one, rename anything, and use it however it helps your church.

For the weeks the text needs more than a morning: structure, genre, a commentary log with a “where I disagreed” column, and a box for the second sermon you found and are not going to preach.
Three points, expository walk, problem–solution and narrative arc — one page each, each saying plainly which texts it suits and which it fights.

Every section and prompt, with the worked example stripped out.
It does the same thing these templates do — except the whole team sees the same plan, changes show up the moment you make them, and nobody is emailing a newer version around. We think you’ll find it easier — and you can keep the templates either way.
