Preview of the sermon notes page with fields for date, speaker, message, scripture, notes, key takeaway, and prayer and next step — The sermon notes page we print in bound journals. The free PDF follows the same idea.

What's on the page

Section	What to write
Date and speaker	So your notes read as a record of the year
Scripture and title	The passages to look up again later
Main points	Most of the page, for the outline as you hear it
Key verse	The one verse to memorize this week
What God is saying to me	Your takeaway, in a sentence or two
My next step	One thing to do this week
Prayer	A short prayer in response

The 48-page journal has the same sections on each page, plus a title page, an index for finding a sermon later and a prayer request page at the back.

Two ways to use it

Weekly sheets. Print the letter page for adults, or the half-letter sheet and cut it in half for a bulletin insert. The half-letter copies fit inside a folded 8.5 x 11 bulletin.

A journal for the year or a series. The 48-page PDF holds 45 sermons, close to a year of Sundays. Print it double-sided on letter paper using your printer's booklet setting, then fold and staple.

Ordering bound sermon notes journals

For a sermon series, a new members class or the whole congregation, we print the journal with your cover art, from 10 copies. Choose the sermon notes ruling on the stapled notebook and we print our sermon page inside, or upload this PDF with your own changes.

Tips for taking sermon notes

Write the references, not the verses. Look the full passage up later in the week.
Catch the outline. Most sermons have two to four points. Leave space under each one.
Pick one next step. One thing you will do is worth more than a page of notes.
Review on Monday. Five minutes reading your notes fixes them in memory.
