About this training

Faithful expository preaching requires interpreting Scripture with Scripture. In this fourth session of the Expository Sermon Prep Series, you'll learn how to find and evaluate cross-references that deepen your understanding of the biblical text and strengthen your sermon preparation. Using Logos, we'll explore practical ways to uncover related passages, trace key themes throughout Scripture, and organize supporting references for use during the sermon writing process. You'll also learn how to determine which cross-references are most meaningful and relevant to your focus passage so that your preaching remains clear, accurate, and text-driven.

After this training you'll know how to:

Discover and evaluate meaningful cross-references related to your sermon text
Trace important biblical themes and connections throughout Scripture
Organize and save supporting passages for sermon preparation and preaching
