I see lots of sermon creation workflow "templates" available. For example, Power in The Pulpit Sermon Prep by Jim Shaddix, and many others. What do people here think is the best one for a beginner preacher to work through?
Thanks for any advice.
That is a great question. The problem with a response is that "beginner" can mean so many things. New believer? New preacher? New to a church? New to Logos?
I would say that the best method for anyone is the one that fits with their own abilities, experience, personality, audience, and aim. I know that sounds like a cop out, but for instance, for years, (I am old and have been using Logos since before it was Logos) I used the exegetical guide, and passage guide and just slogged through 50 commentaries, and worked my way through the languages.
After a few degrees in seminary and thirty years of preaching, I think that Piper's workflow, Shaddix or Robinson would have been a wiser use of time. So, it depends on where you are at in your walk, experience, etc.
I would ask, have you used any of the sermon prep books that any of the workflows are based on? If you have try that one for a while.
Since you want to use a workflow, if you want to do expository sermons that are text based, the one I'd recommend from among those we have available is Haddon Robinson's. You can get his book in Logos, Biblical Preaching…, 4th ed.
You might find it useful to use all or part of a second workflow for awhile. A good complement to the one above would be Bryan Chappell's Christ-Centered workflow.
I don't use workflows and I suspect a lot of the preachers here on the forums with some experience don't use them. As a beginning preacher, though, you can use all the help you can get. In time you will develop a process that fits you the best, just as you'll find a preaching style that best suits how God has made and equipped you.
thanks for the input. I’ll check those out.
Haddon Robinson's Biblical Preaching is the best for Expository Preaching.

In Factbook’s “Questions to Ask” section, are AI credits charged every time I open the same question? For example, I open a suggested question in Factbook, get the answer, and then exit Logos with Factbook still open. When I reopen Logos, Factbook is still open, but the previous answer to that question is gone. If I tap…
Why does „Copy Link“ in the Study Assistant doesn’t exist on my Web-App? I saw in a video that someone already have it on the Web-App (see picture).
I see that Logos will be releasing this title soon. However the product page does not provide a preview and also states that the Logos book does not include the text of the CSB. I have the CSB in Logos already, that’s not an issue, my question is how has Logos formatted the book, especially given the contextual structure…
I purchased some standalone videos on Faithlife TV a while back (not the Faithlife TV Plus subscription). What will happen to those? Will they be accessible inside Logos if the FL TV app goes away? Thanks!
I could use some help with this particular search: I am wanting to find all of the Greek uses θεος for words other than אֵל־5,=אֱלָהּ־0, =אֱלֹהִים, =אֱלוֹהַּ. I want to limit the range of the search to just the books of the Hebrew Masoretic Text. How can I do this in Logos?
