Beta Sermon Assistant (Foreign Language)

ds. P.J. Kotze

So I thought to use one of my recent sermon documents, a devotional, of about 488 words. The document is in Afrikaans. I usually have a Section with questions based on Primary and Secondary References from the sermon or the thematic outline that the devotional is based on. I removed the questions but not the Bible References.

The Sermon Assistant (Questions):

• First try: It generated questions in English with some of my Afrikaans points in quotes. Nice, but would prefer to receive the questions in Afrikaans. But this is not the end of the world, those questions were great.
• Second Try: It did a great job of generating spot-on questions following the structure of my manuscript. It did not include questions on References. This would have been great.

Is it possible to manipulate it to generate questions on Bible References? I would love to test and evaluate that. I suppose I need to include Reference in brackets next to points or words?

Question: The Activity of Salvation of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit?

Answers: 

The love of God the Father is like a parent tirelessly working to provide for their family. The Son's sacrifice mirrors a selfless individual giving their life to save others. The Holy Spirit's work can be compared to a gentle but persistent wind guiding a sailboat on the right path.

Just as a master artist carefully plans and executes each stroke in a painting, the triune God works in perfect harmony to bring about the salvation and transformation of each individual.

A family preparing a meal together can reflect the unity and cooperation of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the process of salvation. Each ingredient plays a crucial role, just as each person of the Trinity serves a unique function in achieving the common goal of redemption.

Great Ideas!
