Sermon Guide Question

I was putting together a lesson from James 1:5-8 this week and tried using the sermon guide which I never have before. I have the Charles Spurgeon Collection, the Calvin 500 collection, Pipers sermons, Logos 5 Platinum and a number of other resource. Yet the sermon guide only showed that I have two sermons in my entire library from James 1:5-8. Is this really accurate, or am I using the sermon guide incorrectly?

Thanks,

Ron

Hey Ronald, as far as I know Logos is still working on this guide and has only a few resources tagged to come up in it. I know Piper's sermons and Spurgeon's sermons are already tagged, but I'm not positive which other sets have. I recall a forum conversation that had them all listed, but I'm not sure what the title of the post was.

Logos has not finished tagging all resources for the sermon guide yet. Somewhere I believe Mark Barnes has posted a list of resources that have been tagged already which you could compare with the sermon resources you own. I'm on my mini tablet in an airport now, so am not in a position to search for that thread for you, but perhaps you can find it or someone else will post a link to it.

Thanks for the quick replies. I will search for Mark's post.

I did a quick search and only came up with 4. My library is possible slightly larger than yours, yes, a bit perplexing to only have 4 dealing with testing of faith.

It looks as though Piper, for example, preached a number of sermons from James but none on this particular passage

You can make a collection of resources with subject:(sermon, sermons, homily, homilies) and search it in the Passage Guide even when your Sermon Section of a Guide has no content.

The problem with this method is it will return results for every sermon that even references the passage in question. What you really want here is the sermons whose primary text is the passage in question. For that you need either Logos to tag it for you or you need a sermon collection index.

I agree. Logos agrees sufficiently to have created the Sermon section of the Guides. I'm just saying that we can continue to do what we had to do before Logos created the section. I trust them to continue to work on the task. I wish they would provide a collection of those they have tagged so I can easily remove them from my collection of all sermons. It would save on duplication.

Suspect collection rule of

subject:sermon

would have the same set of resources. Personally have this rule for Sermons collection:

(Subject:Sermon,Title:Sermon,Series:"Great Texts") -Subject:syllabi -Title:(Delivering,Prep,Starters,Sourcebook,Write)

Yet the sermon guide only showed that I have two sermons in my entire library from James 1:5-8. Is this really accurate, or am I using the sermon guide incorrectly?

Likewise have two sermons in the Sermons section:

True, but I make it easy to switch between title and subject so I can refine the collection easily. Personal trick.

Another sermon index you could use is at http://community.logos.com/forums/t/65323.aspx - the latest version is at the end of the thread. There is also a program to create a personal index of only the resources you own.
