Easily customize, reorder, and add insights to match your study’s needs, then share digitally or in print. Available across desktop, mobile, and web, it’s perfect for leading right from your device.

I’ve really enjoyed working on Bible Study Builder, and I can’t wait to see how it promotes community by helping people go deeper in God’s Word together!

2. Dynamic toolbar

No more getting lost in the toolbar! Navigate your Logos resources with ease using the new dynamic toolbar.

Instead of cryptic icons, the toolbar now has clear labels for every feature, like “Add parallel text,” making it simple to use and discover powerful functions that perhaps you didn’t even know you had.

The dynamic resource toolbar has been a rewarding and inspiring effort, involving many hours of meticulous design and development. With its widespread usage and much-needed redesign, I’m thrilled to bring our users a more seamless and intuitive experience.

3. Get Started wizard

Get a clear answer for “How do I begin?” Jump right into study with the Get Started wizard. Choose from four options and then enter a passage, topic, or Greek or Hebrew lemma.

The wizard will create a specialized study layout for you and offer guidance on how to make the most of it.

The first-time experience with Logos is crucial; it sets the tone for someone’s entire Logos journey. It’s exciting to have the opportunity to roll out the red carpet for users as they begin that journey.

5. Sermon Builder & Sermon Manager on Android tablets

And the Android users clap their hands! Sermon Builder is now available to subscribers on Android tablets.

Build and store your sermons in the same place you do your study, seamlessly incorporating content from your Logos resources into your message. And because of seamless syncing between mobile and desktop apps, you can always pick up where you left off and edit on the go—or even preach from Logos on your tablet.

Plus, manage all your sermons, past and future, with Sermon Manager, also now available on Android tablets. Plan, organize, and track your sermons and series anytime, anywhere, with full syncing across devices so you can keep your plans up to date.

As a pastor who uses Sermon Builder every week, I am excited for all the speed and stability improvements coming with the new editor, and all the future features the new editor enables. As an Android user, I can FINALLY edit my sermon from my Android device on the go. Woohoo!
—Dustin, Lead Developer, Sermons Team

I’m glad we were able to bring Sermon Manager to Android. It is a valuable tool and now users will be able to access it on all platforms!
