How to get the most out of Keruxly

Everything you need to know — from what each section means to step-by-step how-to guides and answers to common questions.

Preparation modes & sermon sections

What you can prepare, and what each section means

What you can prepare — Keruxly has dedicated modes for every church ministry context.

📚
KeruxStudy

Bible Study Mode

Complete small group Bible study packs. Enter a passage and Keruxly generates: passage summary, 3 key word studies (plain English), a main teaching, 5-10 discussion questions, prayer points, practical application, weekly challenge, and a printable handout. Session lengths: 30 / 45 / 60 / 90 minutes. Premium.

💡Tip: Bible Study Mode is designed for group discussion, not individual preaching. The questions are tiered: observation first, then interpretation, then personal application.
🎯
KeruxYouth

Youth Group Mode

Age-tuned session packs for youth leaders. Three age groups: Early Teens (11-14), Teens (15-17), Young Adults (18-25). Output includes: passage summary in plain language, simplified word studies, teaching notes, youth-relevant illustrations, icebreaker, discussion questions, weekly dare, opening and closing prayer, and 2 TikTok/Reels scripts. Premium.

💡Tip: Choose the right age group — the language, illustrations, and cultural references change significantly between 11-14 and 18-25.
🏠
KeruxConnect

Small Group / Home Group Mode

Living-room session packs for home group hosts who may not be theologically trained. Output: accessible passage summary, icebreaker question, host teaching (warm and readable), reflection questions, a group activity (something the group does together), take-home challenge, 3-day follow-up devotional, and a WhatsApp-ready printable handout. Premium.

💡Tip: The group activity is different from discussion questions — it's something the group does together in the room, not just talks about.
🙏
KeruxPrayer

Prayer Meeting Mode

Complete midweek prayer meeting packs. Output: focus theme, opening exhortation (2-3 paragraphs the leader speaks), 4-8 intercession points, 3 scripture-based prayers the leader prays aloud, a responsive call-and-response prayer, and a closing declaration the group says together. Meeting lengths: 20 / 30 / 45 minutes. Premium.

💡Tip: The responsive prayer section has alternating leader/congregation lines — read through it before the meeting so the flow feels natural.
📋
KeruxSeries

Sermon Series Builder

Plan a complete multi-week sermon series in one step. Enter a topic (e.g. 'Prayer', 'The Beatitudes', 'Faith in Hard Times') and number of weeks (4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12). Keruxly returns: series title, theme, week-by-week breakdown (passage, big idea, key verse, preaching direction per week), small group themes, youth adaptation, and a social media campaign. Each week links directly to the sermon form. Premium.

💡Tip: After generating, use the 'Prepare this sermon →' button on each week card to generate the full sermon for that week with the passage pre-filled.

The six sermon tabs — every sermon Keruxly generates is organised into these tabs.

📖
KeruxDeep

Biblical Research

The foundation of your sermon. KeruxDeep gives you Greek and Hebrew word studies for the key terms in your passage, historical and cultural background, canonical context (where the passage fits in the Bible's story), and cross-references to parallel passages. This is the scholarship that normally takes hours — delivered in seconds.

💡Tip: Use this section first. The word studies often surface angles for your sermon points that you wouldn't have found otherwise.
✍️
KeruxPrep

Sermon Outline

Your complete sermon structure. You get a single Big Idea sentence that anchors the whole sermon, a full introduction, three exposition-and-application points each with their own scripture reference, a conclusion, and an altar call suggestion. Everything is grounded in your passage.

💡Tip: The Big Idea is the most important line — preach everything in service of that one sentence.
💡
KeruxSpark

Illustrations & Applications

Three real-world illustrations that make the truth of your passage land in everyday life, five congregation discussion or reflection questions (great for small groups or bulletin inserts), and practical application points for your congregation.

💡Tip: The illustrations are starting points — feel free to swap in a personal story or local example that fits your congregation.
🙏
Prayers

Opening & Closing Prayers

A full opening prayer that prepares the congregation to receive the Word, and a closing prayer that responds to what was preached. Both are written in the voice of the passage and the sermon theme. Use them as written or as a starting point for your own words.

💡Tip: Read both prayers before Sunday — they often surface phrases you'll want to use in your own words from the pulpit.
📢
KeruxDelivery

Communications Suite

Everything your church needs for the week. A 7-day congregation devotional based on the passage, a church bulletin insert, six social media posts formatted for Instagram, Facebook, and X, and three TikTok/Reels scripts with hook, body, and call to action. On-demand WhatsApp & Newsletter content including a Monday–Saturday daily follow-up series. Plus a downloadable sermon PDF and PowerPoint slide deck.

💡Tip: Schedule your social posts for the week using the generated captions — they're written to generate engagement, not just announce.

Pastor's Tools

Premium Features

Available on the Premium plan. Add private notes to any sermon (only you can see them), schedule a preaching date so it appears in your dashboard calendar, assign a sermon to a series, share a read-only public link with your team or congregation, and export a fully formatted Word document (.docx). Set the Sermon Status (Draft → Reviewed → Final → Preached) to track where each sermon is in your pipeline. Assign a sermon to a team member using the Assign Preacher dropdown — they'll see it in their dashboard. Manage your whole ministry team at Account → Team.

💡Tip: Use the Sermon Status filter on your dashboard to see everything at a particular stage — for example, filter to 'Final' to see everything ready to preach. Team collaboration and status tracking both require Premium.

Pro tips

Getting the best results

Small adjustments on the form make a big difference to the quality of output.

📌

Write precise passage references

Be specific. "Romans 8:28–39" gives better results than "Romans 8". Keruxly validates your reference before generating, so if it can't find it you'll see a clear error on the form rather than a broken sermon.

🎯

Use the theme field intentionally

The theme field is optional but powerful. If your congregation is going through a difficult season, or if you have a specific angle in mind (e.g. "hope in grief"), adding it steers the Big Idea, illustrations, and application toward that focus without changing the biblical depth.

Choose the right sermon style for your context

Expository works best for teaching-focused churches going through a book of the Bible. Topical suits thematic series or special Sundays. Narrative is ideal for storytelling-rich passages like the Gospels or historical books — it produces an immersive, experience-led structure.

Use the Topic Suggester when you're stuck

Don't know what to preach on next? Every generation form has a "✦ Need inspiration?" link below the passage field. Tap it, optionally add context about your congregation or upcoming occasion, and Keruxly will suggest 5 tailored passages — each with a topic, Big Idea, and rationale. One click pre-fills the form.

Pastoral guidance

How to use Keruxly well

Keruxly is a preparation tool, not a replacement for prayer, study, or pastoral discernment. These seven guidelines help you get the most from it — and use it responsibly.

1
Start with prayer

Before opening Keruxly, spend time in prayer over the passage. The tool is a research and preparation aid — your own communion with God is the foundation the sermon stands on.

2
Read the passage yourself first

Read the scripture before generating. Note what strikes you, what confuses you, what you sense God saying. Keruxly's research will mean more when it meets your own observations.

3
Use it to support your study, not skip it

The word studies, cross-references, and historical context are starting points — not conclusions. Verify anything that surprises you. Cross-check with a trusted commentary when preaching on significant theological themes.

4
Check all content against Scripture

AI can make mistakes. Every theological claim in the generated content should be tested against the Bible itself. If something looks off, it probably is — trust your pastoral instinct.

5
Adapt for your congregation's real context

The illustrations, application questions, and prayers are written as frameworks. Your congregation has specific circumstances, history, and needs that no AI knows. Add your pastoral knowledge to everything.

6
Add your own testimony and voice

The best sermons carry the preacher's personal encounter with the text. Keruxly gives you the structure — your job is to preach it from a place of personal conviction, not just competent preparation.

7
Don't preach content you haven't owned

Before standing up, make sure every point, illustration, and prayer is something you genuinely believe and are prepared to defend. The congregation deserves a pastor who has wrestled with the Word, not just processed it.
