Message Ideas
Back to "Creating the Message" Page
Welcome to our collection of Message ideas
As fellow pastors, we know that Sunday cannot be stopped, and that podiums need to be filled each week with someone speaking a word from God. Whether it's a Sunday morning sermon, a youth message, or children's church, the message needs to be given every week. That's a tough job, and we here at Help For Shepherds would like to help.
This is not designed to be a site with full sermons, or even full sermon outlines. We think every leader needs to make a message their own and tailor it to their people for it to be successful. That's why this page is designed to help jumpstart pastors when it's just hard to come up with something, while leaving room for you as the leader to make it your own. If you have ever been sitting in front of the Bible without any idea where to go from there, this site is for you.
Every Message idea is one that another pastor has tried and found to be helpful. Each idea is based on a passage of the Bible and provides a direction to take that passage as well as some steps to get you there and some improtant things you should keep in mind while on the journey. We firmly believe that God speaks to us today through the Bible, and that the best sermons are not crafted by brilliant people but by those who take the Bible and apply it to their people and their context. What we're attempting to do here is to help you in the thinking, while giving you room to still apply the message to fit your people and your situation.
Adding Your Own Ideas
Any pastor or leader can help out by submitting their own message ideas based on their own messages. To start, all you need is to type the title of your message into the box below and click "Add a New Message Idea". That will take you to a form which will help you fill out a new idea. There is no programming you have to do or a ton of links you need to create. If you have and questions let us know through the forum and we'll be happy to help.
If you are looking for series of messages intstead of individual ones, check out our Sermon Series page, where you can see entire series of messages ordered together, or add one of your own as well.
We'd love to hear what God's been saying to you and your people, so please let us know and maybe it will help another pastor out who needs a jump.
