Every pastor knows the feeling. You’ve preached a month of amazing messages, but the next month is here. You want to preach something meaningful, something that will move your church forward, but between pastoral care, staff meetings, and the thousand other things that come with leading a church, the message can be difficult.
Open Network has a library of fully resourced message series you can use for free, whether you need a pastor to fill the pulpit for a weekend, or you want a strong foundation to build from and make it your own.
Four Free Sermon Message Series You Can Preach This Month

What happens when God calls you somewhere you don’t want to go? The book of Jonah is a story about running from God, hitting rock bottom, and discovering that His mercy doesn’t have an expiration date.
What’s included: Message Videos, Sermon Notes, Transcripts, Discussion Guide
Esther: 5 Weeks
Esther is a story about courage, calling, and what happens when someone chooses to say yes to God in a moment that feels impossible. “For such a time as this” is one of the most powerful phrases in all of Scripture.
