19 translations. One index.
Every search and cross-reference draws from the full canon, classic to contemporary, indexed privately on Swiss soil.
All 19 translations are fully indexed locally — 15 public-domain editions plus 4 licensed (NKJV, NRSV, MKJV, LITV). The NRSV Catholic Edition, with the full deuterocanon, is our Catholic foundation. No cloud API, no per-query cost — search any of the 19 translations and switch versions anytime.
All translations included, free. No add-ons, no per-translation fees.
A private GPU node,
on Swiss soil.
Sermon Assistant runs on a private Nvidia GPU server at Infomaniak Public Cloud in Switzerland — not a shared public inference farm and no US-routed API calls. Your study, on private Swiss hardware, under Swiss law.
Local by default.
Local-first privacy.
The Boreon Router is the layer between you and your AI. Every query runs on your local Swiss model by default; connect Claude Haiku with your own key and your drafting switches to it — your choice, never a hidden decision, and never at the cost of your study data.
The Boreon Router is a software daemon running inside your Sermon Assistant on the Swiss server — no hardware to buy, no configuration to touch. It directs every query to your chosen engine: the local Swiss model by default, or Haiku when you connect it.
How routing works
By default, every query you submit goes to the local Swiss model. The engine your queries use is your setting: leave Haiku off and everything stays local, or connect it and your drafting switches to Haiku.
By default the Router sends every request to a local Ollama model running on-premise in Switzerland — in this default local mode, zero cloud latency and zero data egress.
Connect Claude Haiku with your own key and your generation switches to it over a standard HTTPS connection to Anthropic — your choice, toggled in the app. Your core study data never leaves the local model.
How your data is handled: In the default local mode, nothing leaves the Swiss server — your Scripture notes, sermon drafts, and study history are processed exclusively by the local Ollama model. When you switch on Haiku, only your current query and its retrieved Scripture passages are sent to Anthropic — never your saved sermon history or account data.

Free for everyone. Forever.
Sermon Assistant exists to serve those who serve — and now it costs nothing to do so. It is free for every pastor, forever, its Swiss server funded in perpetuity by a gift through boreon.com/faith. The mission the site once promised is now fulfilled.
The gift that made it free
A donor funded the private Swiss server and its dedicated Nvidia GPU in perpetuity, through a gift via boreon.com/faith. The hardware that hosts your study model — deliberately apart from the public AI clouds — is paid for. There is no cost to you.
Free, for everyone, forever
No plan to pay for, no price, no card — ever. Free accounts are provisioned on request and secured with Google Authenticator. Tell us about your ministry and we will set you up. No pastor is turned away for cost.
Soli Deo Gloria
We do it all for the glory of God alone. The mission the site once promised is now kept: Sermon Assistant is free for every pastor, everywhere. Gifts through boreon.com/faith help expand capacity and sustain the mission — but you never have to give to use it.
With gratitude. This was made possible by a gift through boreon.com/faith — Boreon’s commitment that faith leads everything we build. We still share the hosting sheets and exact hardware specifications of the Swiss server on request, so you can see exactly how the gift is kept. To request your free account, reach out.
Questions, answered
+Is it really free?
Yes — completely, and forever. A donor funded the Swiss server in perpetuity through a gift via boreon.com/faith, so Sermon Assistant is free for every pastor with no plan to pay for, no card, and no charge of any kind. Soli Deo Gloria — to the glory of God alone.
+How is it free forever?
The only thing that ever stood between Sermon Assistant and being free was the recurring Swiss server bill. That bill is now covered for good: a gift through boreon.com/faith funds the Swiss server in perpetuity. The cost is met, permanently, so the service stays free for every pastor, everywhere.
+Can I support the mission?
If you wish to. Gifts through boreon.com/faith help expand capacity and sustain the mission — but they are never required. You never have to pay to use Sermon Assistant. To give or to learn more, just reach out via the contact page.
+Can I see where the money goes?
Yes. We will share the hosting sheets and exact hardware specifications of the Swiss server on request, so you can see precisely what keeps it running. The gift that funds the server comes through boreon.com/faith, and transparency is owed to everyone this work serves.
+Where is my data stored?
Everything runs on Swiss soil at Infomaniak Public Cloud. The scripture index, your account, and your sermon history never leave Switzerland. The local Ollama model processes your queries on a private Nvidia GPU — Boreon's own Swiss node, not a shared public inference API. With Haiku off, no data leaves Switzerland.
+Which Bible translations are included?
Your free account includes 19 Bible translations at no cost — including the NRSV Catholic Edition (our foundation, with the full deuterocanon), the Douay-Rheims and Catholic Public Domain Version, alongside the King James (KJV), World English Bible (WEB) and more. Each is fully indexed locally for fast, grounded search — switch the version you search anytime.
+Are study sessions truly unlimited?
Yes. There are no daily caps, no per-query fees, and no throttling. Your free account gives you unrestricted access to every feature: search, cross-reference, outline drafting, and handout export, for as many sessions as Sunday requires.
+What is the Boreon Router?
The Boreon Router is a lightweight request-routing layer that sits between your browser and the AI engines. By default it sends every query to the local Ollama model running on Swiss hardware. If you connect Claude Haiku with your own key, your generation goes to Haiku — your choice, toggled in the app — otherwise everything stays on the local model.
+What hardware runs the local AI model?
The local Ollama model runs on a private Nvidia GPU server hosted at Infomaniak Public Cloud in Switzerland — Boreon's own node, not a shared public inference API. Queries are always on-premise — no network round-trip to a remote API — and under Swiss law.
+Is there any cloud AI in the loop?
By default, no. All inference is local on Swiss hardware. You may optionally enable Anthropic Claude Haiku for richer drafting. When enabled, only the specific prompt you send goes to Haiku, never your sermon history, translation indexes, or account data.
+How do I get an account?
Free accounts are provisioned on request and secured with Google Authenticator. Tell us about your ministry and we'll set you up — you finish by choosing a password and enrolling Google Authenticator (TOTP) the first time you sign in. Accounts are provisioned, not publicly self-registerable, because it all runs on a single Swiss GPU server.
+Is there any catch?
None. No cost, no card, no lock-in — just request an account and we'll set you up. We do it all for the glory of God.
