Sermon Research Assistance
Every pastor wants to preach God’s Word powerfully and accurately. But with the pressures and responsibilities of ministry, many don’t have enough time to prepare. Axios can help.
Why We Exist
We’re passionate to see the Church built up, and we’re convinced that preaching the Word plays a key part in its edification. Axios exists to help busy pastors prepare for Sunday so that they can confidently deliver powerful, biblical sermons.
What We Do
Instead of spending hours and hours that you don’t have scouring commentaries and searching for information, let our team do that work for you. We research your sermon text using the original languages and respected commentaries and then provide a Sermon Research Report that will save you significant time in your preparation to preach.

Theology
We affirm orthodox theology represented by the historic creeds and best summarized in the Apostles' Creed:
I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord, who was conceived from the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary
Suffered under Pontius Pilate; crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into the lowest places; on the third day he rose from the dead; He ascended into heaven, is sitting at the right hand of God the Father all-powerful, [and] from there he is coming to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, [and] eternal life. Amen.
Although Axios works inter-denominationally, we also hold to the Baptist Faith and Message 2000
Biblical Interpretation - We affirm Jesus' and the Apostles' interpretation of Scripture demonstrated in the New Testament (see Luke 24, John 5:39, and Acts 2:25-36).
