David Jeremiah Sermon Notes: Where to Find Them (+ How to Make Your Own)
Dr. David Jeremiah is the senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon, California, where he has served since 1981, and the founder of Turning Point, the radio and television ministry that carries his Bible teaching worldwide. He is also a prolific author, with many of his sermon series expanded into best-selling books on prophecy, culture, and Christian living.
Jeremiah is one of the most outline-friendly preachers alive. His sermons are built on clear, often alliterated points, announced plainly and supported in order — the classic three-points-and-a-takeaway structure executed at a very high level. Turning Point leans into this: the ministry produces study guides and companion materials for his major series. People searching for David Jeremiah sermon notes are often looking for exactly those outlines, or trying to reconstruct one from a broadcast they heard in the car.
Here's where the official material is, and a fill-in-the-outline method that matches how he actually preaches.
Where to find official David Jeremiah sermon notes
Turning Point is one of the most resource-rich teaching ministries anywhere. The official sources:
The Turning Point website and app
Hosts the broadcast archive — radio and television messages, organized by series — along with devotionals and articles. Sermon series frequently come with companion resources.
Turning Point study guides
For major series, Turning Point produces full study guides with outlines, summaries, and application questions — the official 'sermon notes' in their most complete form. These are typically offered as ministry resources.
Shadow Mountain Community Church
Jeremiah's home church streams services and archives sermons as preached — usually longer than the broadcast edits, with additional material worth noting.

How to create your own sermon notes from any David Jeremiah sermon
For messages without a study guide — or when you want notes in your own words rather than a workbook — the DIY path is fast, because Jeremiah's structure does half the work for you:
Get the audio
Save the broadcast episode or archived church message. Broadcast versions run about 25 minutes; the full church sermons run 35–45. Transcribe the full version when you can get it.
Transcribe it
Upload the audio for a complete transcript in minutes. A 40-minute Jeremiah sermon costs about $0.24 at $0.006/minute, first 30 minutes free. His broadcast-trained diction produces exceptionally accurate transcripts.

Paste the transcript into the free sermon outline generator. Because Jeremiah announces his points explicitly, the AI reconstructs his outline with near-perfect fidelity — points, sub-points, and scriptures.

Use the outline-completion template below: for each recovered point, add the proof and the practice in your own words. The outline is Jeremiah's; the completion is what makes it yours.
The Outline-Completion Method
Point · Proof · Practice
Fill-in-the-blank outlines are a staple of Bible teaching ministries for a reason: completing a structure yourself cements it in memory far better than reading it finished. For each main point of the sermon, complete three lines:
The point as preached — keep Jeremiah's wording, especially when alliterated. The phrasing is engineered to be memorable; use it.
The scripture and reasoning behind the point, compressed to a sentence. Which verse carries the weight? Write that reference first.
What the point asks of you, in your own words, small enough to do this week. This is the line the AI can't write for you.
Tip: After the last point, add one line at the bottom: 'If I forget everything else —' and finish the sentence. That single line is what you'll actually remember in a month.
Study tips for David Jeremiah's preaching
Study prophecy series with a timeline page
Jeremiah's prophecy teaching spans many sermons and many passages. Keep one running timeline page per series, adding events and texts as they're taught — it turns a ten-week series into a single coherent picture.
Note the illustrations' point, not their plot
Jeremiah is a master illustrator. Resist writing the story; write the one sentence the story was carrying. Your transcript keeps the plot if you ever need to retell it.
Pair sermons with the book
Many Jeremiah series exist as books. Reading the corresponding chapter after the sermon fills in what broadcast editing removed — and the differences show you which points he considers essential.
