Question about "Sermons" section

If I add "Sermons" to my passage guide it will return certain sermons relevant to the verse or passage. For example I type in Jeremiah 1:11-19 and it returns one of Spurgeon's sermons. What resource information does Logos identify when returning results? I have sermons from other resources along with PB sermon resources. Is it possible for the user to add tags, subject headings, etc. in order to have those resources included in the Sermons section results?

    I think Logos is gradually working through tagging sermon resources so that they'll show up in this section, so if some of your sermon resources aren't showing up it's because Logos hasn't gotten around to tagging those ones yet. I don't believe there's any way for a user to tag them to show up there. And I'm not sure about tagging PB's to show up there.

    The Sermons section uses resources tagged by Logos. See this thread for a list.

    It would be a specially tagged passage reference in the heading

    Thanks Rosie and Dave. I had missed the discussion Dave linked to. It sure would be nice to see the ability to tag PB's as sermon resources that could be seen in this section.

    They are a specially tagged subset of monographs with subject:sermons. But you can use that subject as a rule for a collection in the Collections section of a Sermon Starter Guide (based on Sermon Themes) or a tailored Sermon Guide based on Bible Reference.

    I agree that it would be great to be able to tag resources for the new sermons guide! I have several sermon indices that would be great to tag and then have them pop up in the guide to work for now at least until Logos is finished with the process.

    I'm also hoping that Logos plans on tagging sermons within complete works resources. I'm a little worried that those resources will get overlooked. It seems like they are often overlooked and not tagged as commentaries as well.

    If we were able to manually put these tags in we could at least create our own index for these resources, or simply put these tags in the many already existing user contributed sermon indices.
