The Preacher is the record of your ministry. Every sermon you've written, every place you've preached, and every service you've been part of, kept in one place. Log a sermon in about 30 seconds: a title, where you preached, and you're done. Scriptures, outline, notes, tags, and photos are all there when you want them and never required. FREE TO START, NO TRIAL REQUIRED Read the Bible, highlight it, and keep verse notes free forever. Keep your first 3 sermons at no cost: write them, preach them from your phone, print and export them. Premium adds an unlimited library, sermon translation, Strong's Concordance and the Word Study Notebook, analytics, Batch Log, and the app themes. CATCH THE IDEA, THEN PREACH IT Notes is a notebook for sermon ideas, right on the Home screen. Jot down a title, a thought, or a verse the moment it comes. The first line is the title and everything saves itself. When it's ready, tap "Make it a sermon": headings become points, references become scripture with the verse filled in, and it opens in Prepare Mode. YOUR LIBRARY BUILDS ITSELF Each message becomes one sermon card that remembers every time and place you've preached it. Group messages into series, mark favorites, and find anything by title, scripture, location, or keyword. YOUR TIMELINE TELLS THE STORY Every service lands on a searchable timeline you can filter by date, place, or type, with a calendar view. You'll always know what you preached, and where. PREACH FROM IT Prepare Mode is a pulpit ready view of your outline: large text, a message timer, and hands free auto scroll, with the screen kept awake. Tap the point you're on and it glows, so you never lose your place. One tap logs the service when you finish. A STUDY BIBLE BUILT IN Read the KJV and ASV, highlight verses in four colors, and keep notes on any verse. Tap a KJV verse to open Strong's Concordance: the original Hebrew or Greek behind every word, with definitions and cross references. Add a verse straight into a sermon outline, and keep what you study in your Word Study Notebook. ONE SERMON, EVERY LANGUAGE Translate any sermon into Spanish, Portuguese, French, Haitian Creole, Swahili, Korean, and 30+ more languages, for an interpreter, a mission trip, or a bilingual church. Scripture references stay as written, and you can save the translation as its own sermon. SHARE AND PRINT Share or print any sermon or service as a PDF, in either a large pulpit style layout or a classic page layout. Send a sermon to another preacher as a link: they tap it and the sermon opens in their own app, theirs to edit. MAKE IT YOURS Arrange your Home screen, and pick your accent color, font, text size, and one of three looks: Rounded, Sharp, or Paper. SEE YOUR MINISTRY AT A GLANCE Top scriptures, top locations, preaching streaks, and reports including Scripture Coverage, an Annual Report, and a full Ministry Report PDF. WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Everything saves to your phone first, so the app works fully offline and syncs when you're back online. Deleted items rest in a 30 day Recycle Bin, and your data is backed up to your account. FOR PREACHERS AND CONGREGATIONS ALIKE Preach? Log what you delivered. Attend? Log the message you heard, who preached it, and what you took away. The Preacher has no ads, no tracking across other apps, and no selling of your data. Your ministry, remembered.

About

Prophets Guide

Features
Read full description

A Scripture study app with one golden rule: what is data — the text, Hebrew roots, connections — always stays distinct from what is a proposed reading. Interpretation is offered with its evidence, never imposed as a verdict. Discernment is yours. • Generate your guide: from the passage you are reading or a theme, in one go — weave, structure or layers, teaching and prayer • Hebrew interlinear with Strong's numbers across the Old Testament • Literary structure of passages: chiasmus, parallelism, leitwort — as proposals with evidence • Search verses the way you remember them: typo-tolerant, wording-aware, and always says what it searched • Share verses to your stories with backgrounds and typefaces • Weave verses into studies of your own, with nested outlines like paper studies • Symbol: bring a dream or a sign — you receive questions, never verdicts • Mirror: self-examination against the shepherd-servant portrait, no scores • Threads of the Heart: the themes you keep returning to, weighed by time • Your studies live on your phone and your own iCloud — you are their custodian • Spanish and English · No accounts · No ads Bible text: Reina-Valera 1909 and King James Version (public domain). The LDS canon —Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price— is included in public-domain English editions; the official Spanish translation is not public domain, so those passages appear in English, marked "EN". Search lets you choose Bible, LDS canon, or both.
