Thank you for updating this Robert! I so very greatly appreciate it. I hope you continue to visit in the future and keep it updated
Just saying thank you again for this... I passed your work off in this post today.

This is a fantastic resource!
Only problem is that all the text sermon links just go to google.com?Any ideas with how to fix this?

Hi NL:
On some of the indexes I made, I had to use Google to search on the sermon title as an intermediate step, due to a lack of discernable consistency with how the destination files are organized by the ministry. In this case the JFM audio pieces were simple to link with a direct URL. Perhaps at the time I did this, the transcripts weren't. The real problem came when, sometime during 2020, Google apparently grew a wild eyelash that caused them to change their search syntax (or something). Hence, the blank Google screen. Earlier in 2021, I had fixed the Adrian Rogers audio resource and the S. Lewis Johnson resource, but I didn't remember to fix the JFM transcript piece.
It's very likely I'll be able to fix this sometime this week and post back here. I'll either do a quick fix to the Google URL structure, or the transcripts might now be reachable direct.
Thanks for catching the issue. I have the Logos JFM resource, so I might have never noticed my homemade file was obsolete.

It's fixed. I'm repeating the Dropbox link below. You might encounter a dead end here and there among the Text links; not sure why.

I have updated the MacArthur index through Sep 5 2021. The link below has a zip file containing two docx files which are identical except for a '(i)' prefix on the titles.
The '(i)' file is intended for users who have the Logos JFM archive, but also want indexed audio access for the last seven years, the Bible Q&As, and some miscellaneous non-GCC messages (Shepherds, TMS, etc.). The prefix will differentiate the index files from the archive files when they appear together in a guide, enabling the user to either get the quick audio access of the index, or open the Logos transcript (which has an audio link waaay down at the bottom of the sermon).
Disclaimers: The Topics are a bit of a mess, because I found them difficult to automate. But many are still useful. Personal books do not sync to mobile devices nor the web app.
Compile as type: Monograph. For those not familiar with this type of file, it consists of metadata sections for each sermon, which comprise the resource itself. The indexes those sections produce when the resource is complied will cause them to appear in the Sermon section of various Guides. It will also have a nice Index section at the bottom of the TOC pane. The metadata section has two links under it: one is a one-click audio link that will open your web browser to play the file. The other will take you to the GTY page where you can read the transcript or watch the sermon, if video is available.

Dear Robert, thank you very much for your work. It is not my first PB. So I built the Macarthur index. In the topic guide I found the sermons, but I can't find a sermon by searching for the Bible passage. When I open the PB in Logos, the row with the Bible passage is missing. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Stephan:
Each sermon has a section of information about the sermon (metadata), which is derived from the table that each sermon has in the MS Word document. However, it won't look exactly like Word table. The bible passage will be above the table in the PB resource. The Guide where you will find the sermons by bible passage is the Passage Guide, so try that one and let us know if you are still having trouble. Also, be sure to look at the Index section at the bottom of the Table of Contents pane. It will be very helpful for manually browsing sermons by passage, topic, and date.

Hi Robert,
I have the solution: I use Logos under German language. I have to change the language of the PB to English. Now it run's.
Great idea to use the detour over google to find the correct link. So you don't need to submit a special link for every sermon!
Many thanks again!
Stephan
