This would be a great addition; now we have great maps and charts these would be fantastic to add into the slides.
Furthermore, now notes have images and we can have notes as a sidebar in sermon builder it seems the natural extension.

Having an image in the slide margin currently is nice, but I agree that having an image inline would be a preferable option to have

It would also be nice to be able to import videos to the sermon slides. I can drag an image in for a slide, but I can't drag a video into the presentation.

Please bring parity between Sermon Builder and Notes.

Specifically, Logos' Notes have enabled inclusion of images (pictures, charts, graphs, etc.). Please include this same functionality in Sermon Builder.

Seria excelente ter no construtor de sermões a possibilidade de inserir tabelas e imagens junto ao sermão para melhorar a dinâmica dos sermões.

This would be awesome!

Bob Allen

Makes perfect sense. Would love to see this incorporated.

Yes, please allow images (jpeg, png, etc.) to be inserted into our sermons.

Gerhard Warkentin

Yes, this would be such a GREAT option to be more precise and flexible in serving our congregation! Please hurry to give us that option (not before Christmas (today is: 2023-12-19) but soon after... :)). TY for the option to vote for certain development areas!

Images are a good idea - images speak a thousand words in one picture! Example below.

Hi there, I'd love to know why you want to insert images into your Sermon document in Sermon Builder. Can you tell me more?

David Cosand (Logos)

For those of you who are still interested in adding images to your sermon document in Sermon Builder, I would love to chat with you for 30-40 min to better understand your needs. Feel free to add some time to my calendar -- https://fl.vu/cosand-calendly

@David Cosand Certainly. Two example use cases:

1. Sometimes in sermon or small group prep, I write sketches, timelines, diagrams, etc. in my paper journal. I'd like to have snap a picture, even with just my external phone camera app, and embed the image in Sermon Builder as a "memory trigger" while preaching, while not necessarily presenting on a PowerPoint, or on a separate paper copy, etc.

2. I have served as a missionary. When preaching in small churches, they often have a basic projector system. However, while travelling, I don't have a paper copy of the slides, nor room on my tablet to have Logos and PowerPoint open, nor the option to "display a duplicate copy on the wall in the back of the room." Having a simple screenshot of my slides, embedded in the Sermon Builder, would help me stay on track.

There probably are more use cases; these are the two that come to mind right now (I logged this idea a couple years ago!).

@David Cosand My pleasure!

One more related thought: in addition to embedding images, I'd love a way to store the PowerPoint (or similar) I create in the sermon, or in a related place linked to the sermon. Currently I use MSFT OneDrive to keep the .pptx file related to a sermon.

I realize this would add to the cloud storage space, so this including this as a separate Feature or subscription for storage space may be required to make it economically feasible for Logos. However, it would be helpful!!!!

Adding PDF or images so you can add your sermons from other apps like exports from paper tablets (Remarkable, scribe etc)would be great!

Kevin R Shultz

YES Please

Stephan Thelen

Seems to be a god idea, but what is the goal? To use them on a slide? Or to use the picture for the preacher?

Joel Denney

If this hasn't been added, it needs to be. In my opinion, this is one among the many improvements needed in sermon builder.

It's the most frustrating thing to not be able to add images in-line that I will use for reference during a teaching. I may want them as a slide, and I may not. I may also simply want to use the picture/graphic as a reference while I am studying.

David Crandall

I was looking for this feature, and found that it's not supported. My use case is to insert an image for my reference while teaching to help me explain an idea. It saves me preparation time by not needing to translate the reference graph into text.

Add support for suggested reading plans for resources
I picked up the new "Mark: A 40-Day Bible Study" and found it surprisingly annoying to set up a custom reading plan to reflect the 40 days. It would be great if resources like this had an associated recommended reading plan you could use. Even better if any community published reading plans could be listed for use as well.
Bible Project Graphic Overviews
Last year during a training session, I noticed @Mark Barnes (Logos) had Bible Project graphics on his demonstration screen. I believe he mentioned they were in a german version of Logos (could be wrong there) but regardless they were present in his ecosystem but are NOT for english/american customers. I made a suggestion…
