Discussion Questions: Psalm 49

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION AT HOME OR IN GOSPEL COMMUNITY GROUPS

Sermon manuscript available at emmausrbc.org

  • What is a wisdom Psalm? How do wisdom Psalms bring glory to God?
  • How does contemplating the grave help the rich and the poor, the weak and strong, live according to wisdom? How might contemplating the grave help the oppressed to live courageously?
  • What is Sheol? How did Sheol change at the resurrection of Christ? 
  • How does contemplating Sheol help the rich and the poor, the weak and strong, live according to wisdom? How might contemplating Sheol help the oppressed to live courageously (even more so than the contemplation of the grave)?
  • Where is true hope and comfort for the righteous oppressed found in this passage? While the whole Psalm helps to put things in perspective, there is really only one verse that brings true comfort? Identify it and discuss why. 
  • Discuss Orthodox Catechism (Heidelburg) question 1. It can be found online or in the sermon manuscript at emmausrbc.org.
