Relevant passages with context and use.
You bring a topic, and the angle you are taking if you have one. What comes back is not a concordance dump — each passage arrives written out in full, tagged with the role it can play, with a line on why it fits your topic and a note on where in the sermon to use it.
An example — four verses on Perseverance. The verse texts are quoted from the ESV, the translation the finder returns.
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.”
The anchor text: it names the testing itself as the thing that produces steadfastness.
Main point — read it early and keep returning to it.
“For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.”
Speaks straight into the stretch where nothing seems to move — slowness is not the same as failure.
Supporting text for a middle point on waiting.
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,”
The race gives the sermon its picture: endurance as a long run before witnesses, not a sprint.
Use the image when the congregation needs to see it, not just hear it.
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”
Turns the theme into an instruction — the reaping is tied directly to not giving up.
Closing charge — send them out with it.
Each search looks through a rotating lens — Old Testament narrative and the Psalms one time, the Gospels or the epistles the next — so a topic never collapses to the same canonical list.
References already on your screen are excluded from the next search, so pressing it again explores fresh ground instead of reshuffling.
Primary, supporting, illustration or application — each passage arrives knowing what job it can do in the sermon.
Every search is asked to include less-obvious passages alongside the familiar anchors, mixing Old and New Testament where it fits.
Each result carries the full verse text, so you can weigh a passage without opening another tab.
A tight shortlist or a broad sweep. Every search is saved to your history, ready to reopen or copy.
