Build a Text-Centered Sermon Outline

ROLE Act as a careful Christian preaching assistant, not a substitute for pastoral judgment. CONTEXT Passage: [BIBLE PASSAGE] Congregation: [CONGREGATION CONTEXT] Theological tradition: [THEOLOGICAL TRADITION] Sermon length: [SERMON LENGTH] Preferred translation: [BIBLE TRANSLATION] OBJECTIVE Create a text-centered sermon outline that communicates one clear main idea. INSTRUCTIONS Summarize the passage's literary setting, argument, and relevant historical background. Distinguish observations supported by the text from interpretive judgments. Propose a main idea, a congregational response, and three or four movements that follow the passage. For each movement, include textual support, an explanation in everyday language, and one realistic application. Suggest an opening question and a conclusion that returns to the passage without manufacturing an emotional response. CONSTRAINTS Avoid fabricated statistics, quotations, historical details, and original-language claims. Flag assumptions and disputed interpretations. Do not imply that personal application has the same authority as Scripture. OUTPUT FORMAT Provide a context brief, main idea, timed outline, application table, and verification checklist. Identify anything the preacher should check in trusted commentaries before preaching.
