100 Sermon Topics

100 Sermon Topics

Coming up with sermon ideas is one of the biggest frustrations pastors have with preaching.

How do you know where to begin?

First, you need to choose a Bible passage to preach. But what verses will you teach?

If you’re a verse-by-verse, book-by-book preacher, the answer is more obvious. But if you’re a topical preacher, like the majority of pastors, the number of options can be overwhelming.

So here’s a list I’ve compiled of 100 sermon topics to preach.

I prefer balance between topical and verse-by-verse preaching. So I look through this list when I don’t know what to topic preach next.

If I’m not careful, there are some topics that I naturally want to preach more than others. This list helps keep my sermon calendar balanced.

You could easily preach a sermon series on each of these topics. That could fill your calendar for the next 7-10 years.

Note: The verses listed for each topic are not intended to be every verse on the subject. There are many more topics you could preach too. These are just a few examples to get you started in the right direction.

    I think there is an error in #55 Parables. Matthew 13:24-35 and Matthew 19:3-58 should probably be written as one which is Matthew 13:3-53. Matt 19 has just 30 verses and doesn’t contain a parable.

  47. Dear Pastor, a man of God, thank you so much for this beautiful compilation of 100 sermon topics. I am one of the preachers in my local parish. Today, 16 July 2022, I set out to begin to think of what to preach tomorrow the 17th of July 2022. I was very confused and could not settle on anything.

    I went online to search for ideas on sermons. I happened on Pro Preach, 100 Sermon Topics. When I read your introductory paragraphs, before the list of topics, I got the clue about how to eliminate the difficulty in knowing or determining what to preach as sermons.

    Your beautiful compilation of sermon topics, with loads of backup bible scriptural verses, makes an excellent resource for preaching. Words are not enough to express my thanks for how God has used you to bless us, and how grateful I am to get to know your contributions to the development and growth of the body of Christ.

    Thank you, sir, and may our Almighty God Jehovah continue to use you powerfully, in The Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen

  114. Dear brethren,
    FIRST, I believe in the authority of the Holy Bible. The translations we have today are the very word of God.
    SECOND, you, KJV only movement, do you mean only you read God’s word? Now what of those people who do not understand English what do the have?
    Again, do you want to tell us before 1611 there is no Bible?
    THIRD, I respect all conservative translations with preference to literal translations. But I can’t single one and claim it is perfect, because even the KJV is imperfect.
    FOURTH, whatever it be, let not satan divide our minds over the issue of translations; the main purpose ist to preach Christ, the crucified to all. Because I believe with whichever translation, soul can be win to eternal life.
    Thank you.

  134. Why would you link to the NIV bible? A lot of false information here…

    The NIV “Bible”? Satan’s Masterpiece!

    The Hot Topic in the Church Today
    The Bible version issue is the hot topic in the church today. As Christians, we must know what we believe and why we believe it like never before. The devil is out to destroy the faith of God’s people in the Bible and he is doing a good job. The first question recorded in the word of God was asked by Satan. He said to Eve, “Yea, hath God said…?” (Genesis 3:1) That question is still being asked today. Each time a new version shows up it throws doubt on the word of God. The question today is, “Which Bible is the Word of God?”

    We hold to the view that the word of God for the English-speaking world is the ‘King James Authorized Version’ of the Holy Bible. We believe that it is the preserved, inspired scriptures, and that we can honestly say that we have the perfect word of God without error or contradiction. Our position is based on conviction, not preference or prejudice. The evidence for the King James Version is overwhelming in our estimation. From a historical and theological standpoint there is little room for debate among the Christian church as to what version is the true word of God.

    Probably the most common criticism of the Bible from the world is that it contains mistakes and contradictions. If you have read the Bible and done any research, you know that this accusation can be disproved by the word of God itself – if you have a King James Version. However, the modern versions are full of blatant contradictions and mistakes, yet the maintstream leaders of the church defend them before the church. They could not defend them before the world if their soul depended on it. A secular college professor would destroy the average Christian minister in open debate and in the process ruin the faith of any who listened to or read such a debate.

    We profess that the Bible is ‘the final authority in all matters of faith and practice’ for the Christian, but if you have conflicting authorities, then who decides what is truth and what is not? The priest, the rabbi, the pope, the pastor, the Greek professor – who? We believe the final authority is the King James Version of the Holy Bible.

    Three Contradictions in the New International Version
    Just a few examples should be enough to show you the problem. In the New International Version (NIV) it says in 2 Samuel 21:19 that someone other than David killed the giant Goliath. Anyone knows this is not true, except the ‘scholars’ who translated it. According to Hebrews 3:16 in the NIV all the children of Israel rebelled in the wilderness and none made it into the promised land; however, we know that Joshua and Caleb did not rebel, and God promised them each a place in the promised land (just read Numbers 13 & 14). Another mistake is found in Mark 1:2, 3 where according to the NIV the writer of Malachi was Isaiah! Just check out Isaiah 40:3 and Malachi 3:1 – the KJV has it right and the NIV has it wrong.

    The Satanic Role Reversal Promoted by the New International Version
    Now, to really top it off, make note of the outright blasphemy contained in the NIV regarding the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. The translators gave the name of the Son of God to the devil and downgraded Christ to the level of a false god! The KJV calls the devil ‘Lucifer’ in Isaiah 14:12, but the NIV changes the name to ‘morning star’!!! The Lord Jesus Christ is called the “bright and MORNING STAR” in Revelation 22:16. Could any professing Christian honestly believe the Holy Spirit led these so-called ‘conservative scholars’ to take a title reserved for our Savior and give that name to Lucifer? We don’t. THIS IS WHY WE CALL THE NIV ‘SATAN’S MASTERPIECE’ – we believe the devil’s usurpation of Christ’s title here is his personal signature on the most popular and promoted modern version of the ‘bible’ today.

    And then in Daniel 3:25, where Nebuchadnezzar looks in the fiery furnace and sees a fourth man in the fire and proclaims that he saw what looked like ‘the Son of God’ (KJV) the NIV translates it so that the Lord Jesus Christ is no longer the Son of the true God, but is transformed into ‘a son of the gods’ – that is, an imaginary, pagan god that doesn’t exist except in mythology! What a ROLE REVERSAL on the part of Jesus Christ and Satan – and all done in the name of conservative, biblical ‘scholarship.’ SATAN BECOMES GOD and JESUS CHRIST BECOMES A PAGAN, MYTHOLOGICAL ‘god’ !!! To believe that the Holy Spirit of God is the author of such nonsense is crazy. One would have to be the member of a cult to accept this as ‘bible’ truth. (That is exactly what the world will accept as truth when Satan shows up in the tribulation and proclaims that he is Christ. All he’ll have to do is point those who doubt him to Isaiah 14:12 in a modern version to ‘prove’ that he, ‘Lucifer,’ is Christ – and he’ll deceive the world with a so-called ‘bible.’)

    Success in Spiritual Warfare Depends on God’s Book
    We are in a battle for the souls of men, women, boys and girls. Faith is our shield and the word of God is our sword. Since “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17), your faith will only be as strong as the Bible you read and study and memorize and hear preached and taught. You’d better be sure you have GOD’S BOOK – your faith and the faith of those you minister to depend upon GOD’S BOOK, the Authorized King James 1611 (1769) Holy Bible.

    1. Pastor Andrew, I respectfully disagree. The King James Bible was politically motivated and the interpreters were given free reign as long as it upheld his authority. Also look into his sexually immoral lifestyle.
