Create a sermon

Structure a sermon into theme, subject and parts, then preach it or export it as a PDF.

2026-07-03

The Preaching module helps you prepare, classify and find your messages. A sermon is organised on three levels: the theme (the broad subject), the subject (the message itself) and the parts (the points developed). This structure makes every message easy to prepare and to find again, even years later.

Create a subject

  1. Open Preaching and choose or create a theme.
  2. Inside that theme, create a subject: give it a title.
  3. Write the content and split it into parts, each with its own title.

Tip: turning an already-written line into a part title takes one click in the editor. Structure as you go, without reorganising everything at the end.

Preach from Sanctumel

On the day of the message, open the subject in preach mode: the text shows in large type, part by part, readable from the pulpit or the phone.

Note: preach mode also works offline once the page is loaded — a connection drop won't leave you without your notes.

Export as PDF

Each subject can be exported as a PDF on your church's letterhead, to print, archive or share with the pastoral team.
