Logos Sermons provides a large library of thematic outlines from Logos. These outlines provide key themes and relevant Scripture verses ready for sermon preparation.
To find a thematic outline:
-
Perform a search with the Topic/Tag "Thematic Outline." Sermons will suggest common choices as you type. When “Thematic Outline” shows, select it to add it to your search.
-
Add keywords, Bible passages, and topics or tags to your search. As you add Bible passages and keywords, Logos Sermons will show existing search terms below. Select them to add them to your search.
Note: Generally speaking, when adding search terms, start broad (e.g., “1 John 3” rather than “1 John 3:22”). You can use different combinations in the search fields to limit or expand your results, but you will only see results that meet all of your search criteria. So, only include the necessary search terms.
Let's say that you plan to preach on giving this coming week. You might search for generosity, tithing, giving, or other terms.
