A video docked over the passage

A BibleProject video, “We Studied the ‘Day of the Lord’ in the Bible (Here’s What We Found)”, plays in a sheet over Matthew 1, while the reader above still shows Malachi 4:5 marked with its media icon. Share, Save and Details sit under the player.

Design takeaway

A sheet that leaves the verse visible keeps the teaching tied to the text it is about. Name the publisher on the sheet, as here, and keep the marked verse in view while the media plays.

Study helps

From a preview card under the verse, through a sheet and a study panel, to a page of its own or help only on request: decide where commentary, cross-references and sermon clips open, how readers find them, and how they get back to the verse.
