Finding bible passages
When looking up passages in the Bible we look for the Book, chapter and verse.
Book Matthew chapter 6 verses 9 to 13 Mt 6: 9-13
Book Luke chapter 11 verses 2 to 4 Lk 11: 2-4
The video today is inspired by the Lord's prayer, the words appear alongside a soundtrack. Sometimes when we experience something familiar in a new way we can find we gain a new understanding and appreciation of what we thought we already knew.
