Jump into this week
There's one shared preaching cycle, and it's always on a message. Open this week's: a big idea, prompt questions, and a rich teaching scaffold, never a script to read. No setup, no starting over.
Answer in your own words
The prompts pull out your stories, your teaching, your challenge. You write; Modern Witness saves as you go, like a journal you build ahead of schedule.
Bring it all together
Your answers assemble into a finished manuscript. Download it as a Word document, print it, or step into preach mode and deliver it from any device.
Follow the cycle
Next Sunday's message is already waiting. The calendar carries you through the whole Bible in season: three years, then it begins again.
In your own voice
Your study, start to finish
Modern Witness helps you do the work — it never does it for you.
- Guides your preparation, so you write it
- Your stories, your language, your people
- Passage-driven study with real commentaries
- A biblical scaffold you build on
Five moves every strong message makes
COBRA is the backbone of every Modern Witness message, a path from first word to final vision.
Connect
Open with a story only you can tell. A prompt question draws out your own experience: the moment your people lean in.
On-board
Bring your congregation into the story. Show them why this matters in their marriage, their work, their week.
Bible
The meat of the message. Walk the text in movements: key verses, core insights, and teaching prompts that scaffold your own exposition.
Response
Call for a decision. Concrete, doable challenges your people can act on before next Sunday.
Aspire
Cast the vision. Paint what changes in your church and your community if this word takes root.
Everything Sunday asks of you, in one place
The Plan
One three-year journey through the whole Bible — 156 messages across 40 series, timed so Easter, Christmas, and Mother's Day land right. Jump in any Sunday.
Scaffolding, not scripts
Each Bible section carries 15–20 mentor-quality teaching prompts — the raw material for your message, not a script to read.
New — a classic study library, free
Open the classics beside your passage — Matthew Henry, Clarke, Gill, Keil & Delitzsch, Easton's, Nave's, and Greek and Hebrew word study. The reference shelf pastors have long paid hundreds to own, bundled and offline.
The whole Bible, built in
Look up any passage with no internet, and see its cross-references sitting right beside your notes as you write.
A clean place to write
Real formatting, autosave, and an on-device grammar check that knows its Bible — it won't flag Gethsemane. It works with or without a signal.
New — Small Groups, ready to lead
Turn any of the 156 messages into a ready-to-lead discussion guide — leader and member versions, passage and cross-references included. Export to Word, PDF, or email.
New — a devotional for every home
Six short daily readings drawn from the week's passage, so families carry Sunday's text right through to the next.
Slides for the booth
Build slides alongside your message and hand your media team a PowerPoint file — it drops straight into ProPresenter or Keynote. You write; the booth presents.
On every screen, even offline
Browser, iPhone, iPad, Android, and a Mac app — and it keeps working when the signal drops, so the sanctuary never costs you your message.
Walk into Sunday with your manuscript ready.
Find this week's text, open the library beside it, and build the manuscript move by move. That's Sunday handled — free for every pastor and church.
