A sermon preparation workspace built for ministers who want more than a commentary — interlinear Greek and Hebrew, AI-powered research, and a dedicated workspace for building sermons from the original text.
The problem
Most sermon preparation tools hand you a stack of commentaries, a devotional thought for the day, and maybe a pre-written outline. They give you access to what other people think about the text — not the text itself. The Greek and Hebrew sit behind a paywall or a clunky interface that assumes you already have seminary training.
Unrolled Scrolls takes a different approach. It puts the original language text in front of you from the start — parsed, glossed, and interactive — so that your sermon preparation begins where it should: with the words the authors actually wrote. You don't need to be fluent in Greek or Hebrew. You just need to be willing to look.
The AI research assistant doesn't replace your study. It accelerates it. Ask a question about a Greek verb tense, a Hebrew word root, or a cross-reference pattern, and the AI draws from the actual text database to give you an answer with citations — not a generic summary pulled from the internet.
The workspace
Here is how a typical sermon prep session works:
Navigate to any book and chapter. The interlinear Greek or Hebrew text is always one tap away — no separate tool, no separate window.
Click any word in the interlinear to see its Strong's entry, morphological parsing, and transliteration. Understand exactly what the author wrote before you decide what it means.
Open the Sermon Prep workspace and ask exegetical, historical, or doctrinal questions. The AI draws from the actual text database and cites its sources — no hallucinated references.
Structure your sermon directly in the workspace. Move between the text, your research, and your outline without losing context.
Export your research, notes, and outline to your personal notebook for future reference. Everything is saved and searchable.
Source texts
You don't need seminary training to use these texts. Every word includes a transliteration, an English gloss, and a plain-English morphological breakdown.
Compare both traditions to see exactly where the Byzantine and Critical texts diverge on your sermon passage.
The oldest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible in the Masoretic tradition, dated to 1008 CE.
The Bible of the early Church and the text most often quoted in the New Testament. Essential for understanding how NT authors used the Old Testament.
AI research
The AI research assistant is grounded in the actual text database. Every response is documented with references — chapter, verse, and original language data. Here is what ministers use it for:
What does this word mean in its original context? How is this verb tense significant? What is the grammatical structure of this clause?
Where else does this phrase appear? What Old Testament passage is being echoed here? How does Paul use this same word in his other letters?
What does the Greek text actually say about baptism in Acts 2:38? What is the force of the preposition in Colossians 2:9? Every answer grounded in the source text.
Help me outline a three-point sermon from this passage. What is the rhetorical structure of this chapter? How does this pericope connect to the surrounding context?
Features
Read KJV, ESV, NASB, and the original Greek or Hebrew in the same view. See how different translations handle the same word or phrase.
Follow cross-references across 395,000+ connections. See how a passage in Romans connects to Genesis, how a phrase in Acts echoes the Psalms.
Save sermon research, word studies, and outlines to your personal notebook. Everything is searchable and exportable as Markdown.
Follow structured reading plans that take you through entire books or themes. Build a deep familiarity with the text you preach from every week.
Built for
You preach every Sunday and sometimes Wednesday. You need to move from text to sermon efficiently, but you refuse to shortcut the exegesis. The Sermon Prep workspace gives you interlinear access, AI research, and outlining in one place — so you can go deeper in less time without sacrificing rigor.
You teach verse by verse, and your congregation expects you to know what the Greek or Hebrew actually says. The interlinear lets you verify every translation choice, trace word usage across the canon, and build lessons grounded in the original text — not secondhand summaries.
You work a full-time job and still prepare sermons every week. You don't have 15 hours for sermon prep. The AI research assistant handles the cross-referencing, word study legwork, and background research so you can focus your limited time on the parts that require your pastoral judgment.
You're learning Greek and Hebrew, writing exegesis papers, and preparing your first sermons. The interlinear is your training ground — see the parsing, check your translations, and learn how the original languages shape meaning. Build habits now that will serve your ministry for decades.
Beyond the pulpit
Ministry doesn't stop at preaching. When you need to explain your faith to a skeptic, walk someone through the plan of salvation, or defend a doctrinal position in a formal or informal setting, Unrolled Scrolls provides dedicated workspaces for those moments too.
The same original-language tools and AI research that power your sermon preparation are available in the Witness and Debate workspaces — so you can build your case from the text, not from memory.
