Bible References Not Formatting Correctly in Sermon Builder?

When I do a Bible reference in the web version of the Sermon Starter, such as "2 Thessalonians 2 1-12," the results are a paragraph with no verse numbers.  I use the ESV as my default Bible, and when I do the same on the Windows program, it formats correctly.

I don't see a setting for it in the web app.  Is there something I am missing?

    Looking back on my desktop, I am looking for the option in the Web App to set the pericope to "One verse per slide" with "Verse numbers" as I can set it on the desktop.

    2 Thessalonians 2 1-12

    It works without a period or a colon separating the chapter and verse? I didn't know that. But in the web app, I don't see the Bible text in the Sermon Starter. In my default Bible (NRSV) things appear normal.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Although Joseph mentions Sermon Starter in his post he is actually referring to the Sermon Builder (as per the title of the thread)

    Sorry, yes, I did mean Sermon Starter.  It doesn't seem to have the verse number and verse per slide options that the desktop app has.

    Slides are in the Sermon Builder - a tool; the Sermon Starter which is what I posted an image of is a Guide. Fortunately, it is only necessary to know the names when you are on the forums and interact with a superliteralist like myself. Someone else recently mentioned an issue with the verse numbers on slides - whether it was web or desktop I don't recall. ...

    Okay, I'll get it straight eventually.  It is the Sermon Builder I am talking about.  Definitely.  Sorry for the confusion!

    The short answer is, the web app simply doesn't have all the features the desktop app has.

    Unfortunately, this is a web limitation that we are aware of. Making those changes on the Desktop app is the best work around at this moment.
