I don’t use it, though I have toyed around with it a few times. To me it seems to be 1/2 done and quirky. Others might have a better experience with it.

You mean the sermon editor? I just do my sermon outline in Word then I copy and paste it into the sermon editor so all the verses become hyperlinks. That way I can present from my screen with the outline on the left and my preferred Bible on the right. I preach or teach and people can read the verses when I click on them.

Sounds like the same thing MJ. I don't see this "Homily" in Logos though.
I think I understand its purpose, I'm just trying to find out if anybody is using it and how. I haven't found any use for it so maybe I'm missing something.

I create a notebook in Notes for each sermon. all of my clippings, notes, highlights, & Workflow comments are gathered in one place for each sermon.
In my Textual (Expository) Sermons
I connect my Workflow to a Notebook that is identified in my Sermon Doc, then I post bookmarks in my Favorites folder so I can quickly find process notes, clippings, and final product for any text preached.
In my Topical Sermons My Topical Sermon Preparation Workflow supplies comments that go into a specific Notebook, connecting that notebook to the information pane in my Sermon doc provides one place (redundant since it is already in one notebook?). In my Favorites folder I place bookmarks to my clippings, notebook and sermon under the appropriate topic AND also under key texts.

Thanks David. I'll have to study this.

Logos uses the term "sermon" while Verbum uses the term "homily". For your purposes, the tools are identical.

1) I sometimes use Sermon Notebooks as a temporary scratchpad for thoughts that popup while writing a sermon. It’s just like a customizable history of thoughts.
2) I sometimes think of a Sermon Notebook as one huge Thematic index where one notebook serves all Sermons. Each note contain only a thematic heading or sub heading and relevant bible references. This allow for easy outlining.
3) I sometimes collect notes from everywhere to quickly build a message. Then move them back where they belong Or just open different notebooks in the sidebar as I write the message.
4) I sometimes copy my daily journalling of short devotionals from a Sermon document to a notebook. Over time it gets easier to compile larger messages from several short one page messages.
5) I sometimes extract paragraps in a long message to make smaller reusable elements.
6) I sometimes delete all my notebooks to restart my brain and
7) I sometimes just don’t use Notebooks at all.
There are so many creative options available when you start thinking of the Notestool as a Resource for creating messages.
