Bible Study-Week One- Appreance

Hi guys we had our first bible study meeting at my house and the consensus was that it went okay and that everyone liked it.
I'm going to be posting what we talked about for each meeting from now on in case someone couldn't show up or in case you can't come to the bible study but would still like to voice your opinions on the matters we discuss.

1) Psalms 34:17-18
"The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is near the broken-hearted; he saves those crushed in spirit."

Discussion
~God is listening for anyone that is crying out for Him. He delivers them from all their troubles.
~Come to God for all of your troubles.
~If your sad come to God and he will help you find happiness or you will find happiness through him.
~When your dealing with depression and other disorders God is there with you to help you through what you are struggling with.

2) Isaiah 62:4-5
"You will no longer be called Deserted, and your land will not be called Desolate; instead you will be called My delight is in her or the City of God's Delight, and your land married for your land will be married. For as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons will marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you."

Discussion
~God will never turn away from you, He will never desert you.
~God will accept you for who you are.
~God is pleased with you and all others.
~The bridegroom part could be that God rejoices when we accept Jesus into our lives.

3) Romans 8:6
"For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set of the spirit is life and peace."

Discussion
~Mind-set is still set on sin it is not set on Jesus Christ.
~Like dealing with an eating disorder your mind is set on being skinny and not that Jesus would accept you for who you are.

You can also refer to Madison's blog about eating disorders and Barlowgirl's Mirror song talks about Becca's struggle and overcoming of her eating disorder.
