How to share your Sunday sermon on WhatsApp

On Sunday afternoon your members are already on WhatsApp. A sermon they can forward reaches the family member who missed service — and the friend who has never been.

What people actually forward

A two-hour recording rarely gets watched. What travels on WhatsApp is short: a 30-second clip of the strongest moment, or a single link with the main points. Scrivent makes both from the sermon it already listened to.

The sermon recap page

After the service, Scrivent drafts a recap from the transcript. You review it and share one link. The page has:

• The message — a short summary of the sermon.
• From the pulpit — memorable lines, checked word for word against what was actually said.
• Scriptures — every verse that went on screen.
• To reflect on this week — questions for personal study or a home cell.

The link shows a proper preview card when pasted into WhatsApp, so it looks like something worth opening.

Sermon clips

Scrivent also records the sermon audio and suggests the strongest moments, around half a minute each. You can trim them, cut and join pieces, and share each one as a link with the audio and a quote card. Members can play it straight from the chat.

How to do it after service

1. Keep the mic running in Scrivent for the whole sermon — the recap and clips are made from what it heard.
2. When the service is over, the console offers Prepare recap & clips. Press it.
3. Read the draft, fix anything you want, and share the recap link.
4. Pick a clip or two, trim if needed, and share those too.
5. Post them in the church WhatsApp group and on your status.

Start free — the recap and clips come with every church account.
