In a recent episode of 3ABN Today, the Three Angels Broadcasting Network, Wintley Phipps introduced a new tool, GospelTruth.ai, designed to assist Christians in their study of the Bible and sermon preparation. This artificial intelligence application is specifically trained to provide biblically accurate responses and generate complete sermons, distinguishing it from mainstream AI models such as ChatGPT, which, as Phipps noted, often reflect a mix of secular and religious perspectives.

The Problem With Traditional AI

Phipps expressed concerns about conventional AI models, which he likened to the “tree of knowledge of good and evil.” He pointed out that these models pull information from both secular and religious sources, leading to responses that may not always align with biblical teachings. When discussing theological topics such as the Sabbath, he found that mainstream AI often presented conflicting or nonbiblical viewpoints, requiring extensive back-and-forth to align the response with Scripture.

A Biblical Approach to AI

To address this challenge, Phipps and his team developed GospelTruth.ai, an AI system trained exclusively on vetted biblical resources, including the Bible, the writings of Adventist Church cofounder Ellen G. White, and trusted theological materials. Unlike general AI tools that “skim” information and often provide repetitive answers, GospelTruth.ai employs a proprietary linguistic search algorithm that deeply mines Scripture and related texts, producing fresh, in-depth perspectives each time a user requests information.

Key Features of GospelTruth.ai

According to Phipps, these are some of the key features of the new AI tool:

Biblically Sound Responses—The AI has been trained to ensure that every response aligns with Scripture and trusted theological sources.

Full Sermon Generation—Rather than simple Q&A responses, the tool generates complete sermons and teachings on any biblical topic.

Deep Theological Research—Utilizing a unique algorithm, the AI “mines” biblical texts rather than skimming, ensuring deeper insights.

Multilingual Capabilities—Users can generate sermons and teachings in multiple languages, making it accessible worldwide.

Efficient Sermon Preparation—With traditional sermon preparation often requiring 30 to 40 hours of study, GospelTruth.ai allows pastors to reclaim time for prayer, family, and other ministerial duties.

Export and Sharing Options—Sermons can be easily copied, exported, or shared for immediate use.

A Game Changer for Pastors and Laypeople

During the demonstration Phipps showcased how quickly the AI generates well-structured sermons. He emphasized that this tool is not just for pastors but also for laypeople who wish to study and understand Scripture more deeply. By simply entering a topic such as “gospel and salvation” or “trials,” users receive a full, well-researched sermon in seconds.

Phipps likened GospelTruth.ai to the research assistants used by such historical preachers as Charles Spurgeon, who had teams of young ministers gathering information for him. With AI this process is now automated and instantaneous, allowing for thorough, efficient, and theologically sound sermon preparation.

Addressing the Crisis in Christian Churches

A key motivation behind this tool is the declining church attendance across denominations. He pointed out that the primary reason people attend church is the quality of the sermon, not necessarily the music or technology used in worship services. GospelTruth.ai aims to equip pastors with the ability to deliver well-researched, inspiring messages that can help draw people back to church.

Phipps sees GospelTruth.ai as a divine tool to support a new generation of preachers and teachers. Whether for pastors preparing weekly sermons or laypeople seeking to deepen their biblical understanding, this AI-driven resource offers a powerful, reliable way to engage with God’s Word. “I pray that God will use this to inspire a new generation of preachers and teachers,” Phipps said.

The Three Angels Broadcasting Network (3ABN) is a Christian media television and radio network which broadcasts Seventh-day Adventist religious, music and health-oriented programming, based in West Frankfort, Illinois, United States.

Editor’s note: The claims of GospelTruth.ai have not been independently tested. There are limits with AI, and this resource should be considered a tool. When preparing Bible studies or Sabbath School lessons, or writing sermons, one should not use this tool to replace deeper individual research and connection with the Bible and its teachings.
