Clear Worship — Sermon Lens

Discernment for preachers, teachers & communicators · Doctrine · Imagery · Thirteen pastoral lenses · Charity before critique

Hear your sermon across the room.

Drop in whatever you have — a full manuscript, a working outline, sermon notes, the imagery you’re planning to use, or just one section you want a second read on. Built for sermons, and just as at home with a lesson, a talk, or an address — for any communicator who wants to ponder their words and the implications of their thoughts. Sermon Lens is not just for whole manuscripts, and shorter inputs are faster and cheaper. The default frame is “how might this land with our community?” — across thirteen congregational lenses, with calibrated doctrinal checks and the controlling imagery surfaced.

How it works: paste your sermon or upload a plain-text (.txt) file. Analyses run roughly 1–4 minutes depending on length — the wait is the model thinking carefully across all the lenses at once. Your inputs are saved to your account; you can re-open them or delete them from the sidebar. Try one of the classic sermons below to see the tool in action before you spend your own coins on a sermon of your own.

These are sample reports prepared as preview material so you can see the tool’s layout. Live analyses run on whatever you paste below. ESV via Crossway. Edwards via Project Gutenberg (public domain). Dates from a publicly posted Salem Baptist transcript. Keller transcription by Joshua Kim. Cruisers Enjoy the Ride preached by Darryl Handy and shared by the author. Caine and Chan transcripts adapted from publicly posted YouTube messages (Christine Caine and Francis Chan respectively). The underlying sermons remain the work of their authors.

Paste the whole sermon. Stage directions and section headers are fine — the model reads them too. Or upload a plain-text (.txt) file.

How to save your sermon as plain text (.txt)

  • Microsoft Word — File → Save As → choose “Plain Text (.txt)” from the file-format menu. If Word asks about encoding, pick UTF-8 and tick “Insert line breaks”.
  • Apple Pages — File → Export To → Plain Text…
  • Google Docs — File → Download → Plain Text (.txt).
  • RTF (Rich Text) — open it in TextEdit (Mac) or Notepad (Windows), then File → Save As → choose .txt. Or open in Word/Pages first and follow the steps above.
  • PDF — PDFs of sermons usually come from a Word doc; if you have the original, export from there. If all you have is the PDF, open it, “Select All” (Cmd/Ctrl-A) → copy → paste directly into the box below.
Why plain text? It strips formatting, embedded images, and tracked changes so the analyzer reads only the sermon’s words — faster and more reliable than parsing a Word/PDF binary in the browser.
