Frequently asked questions

Homiletics (from the Greek homiletikos, meaning "the art of preaching") is a centuries-old method of Bible study used in seminaries, churches, and study groups worldwide. It guides you step by step - from careful observation of a passage, through finding its structure and central idea, to discovering its timeless truth and applying it to your life.

Not at all. The 5-step method is designed to guide anyone through a meaningful study of Scripture, whether you are a beginner or an experienced Bible student.

Yes. You can sign up for free, write homiletics on the weekly passage, join groups, and participate in the community at no cost.

Sermon sketches let you turn a completed homiletic into a structured sermon outline with sections for audience, introduction, main points, gospel connection, conclusion, and delivery notes. Sketches auto-save and can be downloaded as a PDF.
