The Bible is built into ChristChant, so finding and showing a passage works without any internet connection. Long passages are split across slides for you, and the reference is filled in automatically.

Watch: Put a Bible passage on screen (about 2 minutes)

Find the passage

  1. Open the Scriptures tab at the bottom of the window.
  2. Type a reference in the search box: John 3:16, a range such as Gen 1:1-5, or a whole chapter. Abbreviations are fine.
  3. Check the translation on the right. Click it to switch.
Type a reference (2) and choose the translation (3).
Searching by words: the closest matches come first.

Show it

  1. Click a verse. It goes straight into the Preview.
  2. For several verses, click the first and Shift-click the last. A bar appears at the bottom with the passage.
  3. Click Feed & Go Live on that bar, or use Feed & Go Live above the Preview. Each verse becomes a slide.
The passage bar: save it, send it to the Preview, Feed, Feed & Go Live, add it to the service plan, queue it for later, or clear the selection.
Each verse becomes a slide. Click the next one in the Live Controller when the reader gets there.
