This allows me to do a search for the tag "1Peter" and it pulls up every sermon I've ever written from the book of 1 Peter. As a result, I use a tag called "1Peter". The sermon example I have been using in this blog is 1 Peter 2:1-12. I simply tag the sermon based off of the book of the Bible the sermon is based on. Step 4 - Add Tags and Other InfoĪfter you have compiled all the documents into a single note, I finish off by tagging the sermon note and adding other info. The PDF makes the document searchable within Evernote, and the Pages document allows me to open it up later in Pages to edit for the future if I decide to tweak the sermon. When I finish my final copy of my sermon notes I place a PDF copy and the Pages document copy into evernote. However, most times I write out a hybrid outline/manuscript in the mac app Pages. Sometimes I write my sermon directly in the Evernote itself. Step 3 - Add the Final Copy of Your Sermon to Evernote This place a digital, scanned, and searchable copy of my handwritten notes plus my translation that I can later merge with other notes to create a individual note of my sermon. Since I run a paperless life, I scan these notes into Evernote with our church copier by emailing them directly into Evernote with my Evernote email address. Often times I will even write a rough outline on these documents as well. Then I will mark up the passage and jot down my thoughts and observations. I will print off a copy in English and I will print off a copy in the Original Language. I usually print off a copy of my passage that is double space or triple space. For most of my exegetical work in a text, I use pen and paper. Step 2 - Scan Your Handwritten Notes to EvernoteĪlthough I love technology, there is still nothing like the feel of pen and paper. This way you can place every sermon you create into this notebook for easy scanning through later. Think of Notebooks like "Drawers" in your digital filing cabinet. Step 1 -Create a Notebook in Evernote to Place All Your SermonsĬreate a separate notebook to place all your sermons. I wanted to write a post describing how I use Evernote to file my sermons and how you can too in 5 easy steps. With Evernote, I have a digital filing cabinet of my sermons that I can carry around with me on my Macbook, iPad, or iPhone. Evernote has been extremely helpful in creating a digital depository and archive of all my sermons. As a young pastor who grew up in the age of technology, I've quickly have adapted to using software and services like Evernote. With great companies like Evernote which creates a virtual locker, the need for paper files are diminishing.
The days of totting around large filing cabinets around with us every where we go are quickly disappearing.
