Sermon from start to finish on iPad.
I really like the modular approach to the iPad: tablet mode, laptop mode (with Keyboard case), and desktop mode (attached to monitor with keyboard and mouse).
With new iPads being released, I decided to close the MacBook Pro and do sermon prep from to start to finish on the iPad.
Step 1: Reading the Text in Multiple Translations using the wonderful highlight feature of Logos.
Step 2: Reading Commentaries
On my Mac, I would normally run a passage guide on the text. Read commentaries on one side of the layout and have a noted anchored to the passage on the other side of the layout. I could have done the same layout with Logos on the Web from the iPad but wanted to used Logos Mobile instead.
I ran a passage guide from Logos Mobile and then opened an Apple Note in Split View with the iPad. My iPad was attached to a Magic Keyboard. Logos’s implementation of selecting text, copy, and paste is not my favorite when the iPad is attached to a Magic Keyboard, but selecting text, copying and pasting from Logos Mobile into an Apple Note was very efficient. Occasionally, the pop up menu when selecting a word would get in the way of selecting text. At times, the curser would not move when trying to select text. But overall, I enjoyed the experience of reading commentaries on the iPad.
Step 3: Word Study — I used the web version of Logos for Word Study.
Once my research was complete, I coped my notes into Logos.
Step 4: Sermon Writing
Once all my research was done for the sermon, I connected my iPad to a monitor. I opened a web browser and loaded logos on the web. I had one panel with a Bible and the other panel with my research notes on the external display, I used sermon editor on Logos Mobile to type my sermon.
I will preach the sermon from Logos using preaching mode in Logos Mobile.
Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and will be using Logos Mobile more in my sermon workflow. I can’t wait to see how Logos continues to improve the mobile app.
