Sermon Workflow

I'm looking for some tips on sermon workflow. I've been a user of Logos for a while and really do love the program. However, I know that I'm not using it to the best of it's ability. There's so much more that I'm sure could be done. 

Are there any websites, blogs, or videos showing some possible workflows? I get that everyone is different, but I'm looking for some various ways that people use Logos in their workflow. Specifically in Logos 5

Thanks!

    Hi Danny

    Can I suggest this video series from Mark Barnes:
    http://www.logosbiblesoftwaretraining.com/other-videos/preparing-a-sermon-with-logos-4/#setup-layout

    It was made using Logos 4, but all the ideas will still apply in Logos 5.

    Beyond that, something I would suggest from experience is to start your preparation several days before you need to complete the sermon. I found I was much more efficient if I read and prayed and pondered and organised ideas and then took a break. Over the next few days, those concepts would develop within me even while I wasn't consciously pondering them, so they came together much more quickly when I got to the session where I pulled them together. Two separate sessions, days apart do a much better job than that same time in one session. That's my experience anyway.

    Check out Logos 4 Video Tutorials. I know Mark Barnes and Joe Miller both have sermon prep series. They're a bit old so you may have to adapt them to L5, but the workflows as such should still be relevant.

    You could take a look at Dr. J. R. Miller’s video series 5 Days To Better Sermon Preparation.

    It’s based on Logos 4 but should still be relevant.

    I second Joe's video series as a suggestion. 5 Days to Better Sermon Prep should be basic requirement for any sermon prep class.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Loving the video series. 

    I had a great workflow that worked for me, but wanted so seamless blending into Logos. Those videos are showing a lot!
