How to create a Bible Verse slide — reference, translation, annotations, and practice mode.

When you teach Scripture, what people see should be clear, readable, and keep the congregation in context. Most presentation software was not built for that — which is why BibleSlides centers the Bible Verse slide type.

Your sermon notes and your slides live in one document, so they stay in sync.

The video above walks through the full flow in about four minutes — from adding John 3:16 to presenting with practice mode.

  2. In the sidebar, choose Bible Verse
