PewPad Features for Sermon Preparation, Delivery & Reflection

An overview of what the iPad sermon app does — built for the moment you stand to preach.

PewPad is one focused app for the full preaching workflow — from the moment you sit down to study, through the moment you stand to preach, to the days after when the message becomes the church's. This page is the index. Each feature has its own page below.

Prepare

A purpose-built sermon editor with inline Bible references, commentary chips, and word-study insertion. Three Bible translations bundled offline. A study layer with cross-references, topical index, and Greek and Hebrew lexicons. Sermon import for existing PDF, DOCX, and image manuscripts.

Deliver

A pulpit-ready iPad layout with sermon notes and active Scripture side by side, a countdown timer with wrap-up cues, dark mode tuned for sanctuary lighting, adjustable delivery font scale, and on-device voice reference activation so passages open hands-free.

Reflect & Multiply

Local transcript capture, sermon delivery history with planned vs. actual duration, a private homiletic memory that indexes every sermon by Scripture and topic, recency-aware illustration suggestions, Insights for preparation and Scripture coverage, and a Ministry Kit that turns one sermon into listener handouts, small-group guides, and recap emails.

Frequently asked

About features.

Is PewPad an AI sermon writer?

No. PewPad helps you prepare, deliver, remember, and multiply sermons you author yourself. It does not generate sermon manuscripts.

What devices does PewPad run on?

PewPad is built for iPad (iPadOS 26+) as the primary preaching device, with companion experiences on iPhone (iOS 26+) and Mac (macOS 26+).

Does PewPad work offline?

Yes. The Bible text, commentary, sermon library, voice recognition, and AI-assisted features are designed to work without a live internet connection.
