How to Repurpose Your Sermon Series for Social Media
How can we make our sermons have a bigger impact beyond just Sunday morning? How can your repurpose your sermon for Social Media?
First things first, let’s address the elephant in the room: Most churchgoers forget the sermon by the time they hit the parking lot. Ouch, right? But don’t worry, it’s not you – it’s just human nature.
We’re living in a world of short attention spans, so we need to get creative to keep our message alive all week long.
Enter the world of visuals and social media. Here are some killer ways to extend your sermon’s reach:
1. VIDEO CLIPS AND REELS
Video is king when it comes to social media engagement. Take your sermon and chop it up into bite-sized pieces. Look for those golden nuggets – you know, those moments when you really nailed a point – and turn them into short video clips or reels. Instagram and Facebook eat this stuff up!
Pro tip: Create a series of connected reels that relate to each other. It’s like a mini-sermon series that keeps people coming back for more.
2. QUOTE GRAPHICS
While video is super effective, don’t underestimate the power of a good quote graphic. Pull out those mic-drop moments from your sermon and slap them onto an eye-catching image. Mix it up by using photos of the pastor, text-only designs, or even pictures of your church. Just remember to keep it visually interesting and switch things up to avoid monotony.
Here are some great Social Media templates from our Ready-Made library you could use to put your quote on:
3. YOUTUBE SHORTS
YouTube is basically a search engine for videos, so use it to your advantage! Instead of uploading your entire 45-minute sermon, create shorter, topic-specific videos. For example, if you preached on anxiety, make a 6-minute video titled “How to Deal with Negative Emotions.” It’s more searchable and digestible for viewers.
4. PODCASTS
Consider starting a podcast where you or other church leaders discuss and expand on the Sunday sermon. It’s a great way to dive deeper into topics and build connections with your congregation throughout the week.
5. GET CREATIVE WITH MERCH
If you’ve got a particularly impactful sermon series, why not create some merch? T-shirts, mugs, or even stickers can help spread your message and create a sense of community among your congregation.

Remember, quality matters.
We’re living in a visual world, and people are used to seeing polished content. Your visuals don’t need to be Hollywood-level, but they should be clear, attractive, and on-brand for your church.
Speaking of branding, consistency is key. Develop a visual style that’s uniquely yours, so people can instantly recognize your church’s content. This helps build your online presence and makes your message more memorable.
Lastly, don’t be afraid to experiment and see what works best for your audience. Every congregation is different, so pay attention to what gets the most engagement and adjust your strategy accordingly.
Remember, your sermon is a goldmine of content.
By repurposing it creatively throughout the week, you’re giving your message more opportunities to sink in and impact lives. So go ahead, get visual, and watch your sermon’s influence extend far beyond Sunday morning!
Your message matters, and with these tips, you’ll be reaching more people in no time with the Gospel.
