Psalm 45 - Groom King

  1. Do you remember the first wedding you ever attended? What was your impression of love/weddings/marriage upon witnessing it?

  2. Read Psalm 45:1-9. What kind of person is this king about whom the psalmist is singing? What descriptive words stand out to you?

  3. Read 2 Samuel 7:12-13. How are these verses reflected in Psalm 45:16-17? What does this reflection tell us about the king in the psalm?

  4. Read Hebrews 1:7-9. Why does the author of Hebrews quote these verses from Psalm 45? What do these verses tell us about the true identity of the Psalm 45 King?

  5. Read Psalm 45:10-15. How do these verses depict the bride of the king? The wedding festivities?

  6. In the sermon, Pastor Robb called the king, the bride and the wedding of Psalm 45 “prophetic messages in flesh and bone.” In what ways do each of these figures pre-figure the New Testament gospel reality of Christ and his church?

  7. Spend time worshiping Christ for his love over us, and pray for the married people in your group to have marriages that likewise reflect the glory of Christ and his church.
