Bible Study: Genesis 21-22
Weekly Bible Reading: Psalm 1-2

Hola YG :)

Are you guys having fun reading Psalm 1 & 2?

I remember hearing some of you guys say it was hard to understand, so I'm putting another "easier" version of Psalm 1 & 2 here in NLT version, not NIV. Try reading it again and see if it helps you understand--- if not, ask us questions and let us know what you're thinking :)

Psalm 1

¹ Oh, the joys of those who do not
follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with mockers.
² But they delight in the law of the Lord,
meditating on it day and night.
³ They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
and they prosper in all they do.

⁴ But not the wicked!
They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
⁵ They will be condemned at the time of judgment.
Sinners will have no place among the godly.
⁶ For the Lord watches over the path of the godly,
but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.

Psalm 2

¹ Why are the nations so angry?
Why do they waste their time with futile plans?
² The kings of the earth prepare for battle;
the rulers plot together
against the Lord
and against his anointed one.
³ “Let us break their chains,” they cry,
“and free ourselves from slavery to God.”

⁴ But the one who rules in heaven laughs.
The Lord scoffs at them.
⁵ Then in anger he rebukes them,
terrifying them with his fierce fury.
⁶ For the Lord declares, “I have placed my chosen king on the throne
in Jerusalem, on my holy mountain.”

⁷ The king proclaims the Lord’s decree:
“The Lord said to me, ‘You are my son.
Today I have become your Father.
⁸ Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance,
the whole earth as your possession.
⁹ You will break them with an iron rod
and smash them like clay pots.’”

¹⁰ Now then, you kings, act wisely!
Be warned, you rulers of the earth!
¹¹ Serve the Lord with reverent fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
¹² Submit to God’s royal son, or he will become angry,
and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities—
for his anger flares up in an instant.
But what joy for all who take refuge in him!

Question:

1. In Psalm 1, it says the blessed person's "delight is in the law of the LORD" (v2) To delight in something means to find great pleasure, satisfaction, and joy in. What would you do to delight in God’s law?

2. According to Psalm 2:11-12, what are we instructed to do as children of God?

Sunday Bible Study: Genesis 21-22
Weekly Bible Reading: Isaiah 1-6

Hey guys :)

I just wanted to give you guys a little introduction before reading the book of Isaiah.
Remember how the books of the Bible are divided into different sections?

For example, this is how the Old Testament (39 books) are divided up:



If you look at the chart, you can find that Isaiah is the FIRST book of the Major Prophets. (Prophets are people chosen to speak for God and to guide the people of Israel.) Isaiah was a prophet to the nations of Judah and Jerusalem. Most of the people there were rebellious, forgot about God (as usual) and became idol worshipers--- so Isaiah tells the people what condition they're in, and how they desperately need salvation. (By the way, Isaiah's name means “salvation of the Lord”! --- how fitting ^_^)

Anyway, even though Isaiah is speaking to a rebellious nation with warnings of doom--- God ALWAYS gives promises of HOPE too--- IF they repent and turn from their evil ways.

Read Isaiah 1:9-20:
1. What two cities does Isaiah compare Judah and Jerusalem?
How were they like _____ & _____?
* Hint: We learned about them in Gen. 19 ;)


2. The Lord says "If you are _____ & _____, you will eat the best from the land; but if you _____ & ______, you will be devoured by the sword." (v. 19-20)
What do you think that means?

Hello YG =)

If any of you guys are thinking, "huh? a blog site? agh- why do we neeeed thiiiis?"

Here is the answer- if you don't want Bible readings to be a drag, come to our blog.

Richard teacher and I started this blog site so that we can be more available to you guys as you read the Bible throughout the week. We know that the Bible can be kind of confusing at times, so this is the place you can go to ask questions, discuss, and have fun as you read the Word. We're here for you and we are going to read the Bible together~ yaaaay ^__^

So--- in other words:
Use and abuse this blog!
