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.
What is the step-by-step process to move the Logos program and all of its contents from my old laptop to my new one? I am not very tech savvy!

My Birthday code is not working.
Received my copy of the expanded edition hardcover version today and noticed that one of the introductory pages states it's possible to add a digital copy of this book to Logos. Unfortunately, the link provided (https://logos.com/LexhamPress) takes you to a Baker Books page with no obvious way to obtain the digital copy of…
Hi all Is there an easy way to add multiple anchors to a note at once. As far as I can see I can't paste in a list of verses in the usual format (eg Acts 9:1; 1 Peter 3:2...) or link to a passage list. Has anyone got any tips about how I can add multiple anchors at the same time? Thanks Paul
