Free preaching resources for thoughtful, hopeful leaders.
Preaching for Change is a growing library of sermon notes, outlines, graphics, articles, and curated resources for pastors, preachers, and ministry leaders who want their words to help people move toward love, justice, courage, and wholeness.
It is created and curated by Brandon Cox, drawing from more than twenty-five years of preaching, pastoring, coaching leaders, and helping churches communicate with clarity.
A sermon library with a pastoral heartbeat.
I started Preaching for Change with a simple conviction: preachers need more than clever outlines. We need thoughtful angles on Scripture, language that helps people imagine a more faithful world, and reminders that the work of preaching is deeply human work.
Some resources here come from my own archive. Some are preserved from older sermon material that deserves continued life. Some will be new weekly resources shaped for pastors and leaders who are trying to preach with depth, compassion, and courage.
Ideas, outlines, notes, and series.
Browse sermon ideas by series, Scripture, season, or topic, with graphics and resource notes added as the archive grows.
Encouragement for the preacher.
Articles and newsletter-style reflections for leaders who need wisdom, courage, and spiritual steadiness as much as another illustration.
Older material made useful again.
Selected sermon scans, manuscripts, outlines, and graphics are being cleaned up, cataloged, and shared for continued ministry use.
Pastor, coach, writer, and communications strategist.
I’m Brandon Cox. I’ve served as a pastor to congregations of a few dozen people and as part of one of America’s largest and most influential churches. Most of those years involved preparing, preaching, writing, and helping leaders communicate the good news with clarity and heart.
Preaching for Change is the preaching-and-resource side of my work. It overlaps with the other ways I serve leaders, but it has a focused purpose: helping preachers and ministry leaders find useful, thoughtful, freely available material for the work in front of them.
Other ways I serve leaders and churches.
- Leadership coaching: Through BrandonACox.com, I coach pastors, leaders, and communicators through questions of calling, courage, burnout, transition, emotional health, and next steps.
- Communications consulting: Through 5ox Creative, I help churches, dioceses, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations clarify their message, improve their websites, and communicate more effectively.
- Spiritual reflection: Through Walk Humble, I share essays and conversations about faith, mystery, emotional honesty, relationships, and life with God.
Free to use, shared with care.
My hope is that these resources can be adapted, improved, contextualized, and used freely by pastors and ministry leaders. I only ask that the work not be repackaged or presented as though it originated somewhere else. Use it generously. Give credit when it helps. Make it better for the people you serve.
