Discussion Questions: 

Please take these questions home and talk about them with your family over lunch or sometime later this week.

1. Psalm 15 begins with the question, “Who may dwell in God’s presence?” Why is this the Ultimate Question of life?

2. Do I examine myself spiritually before I attempt to enter God’s presence and worship Him? (See 1 Corinthians 11:28)

3. Am I living a blameless and righteous life, not just outwardly but in my heart? (Psalm 15:2)

4. In what ways have I attacked, gossiped about, or slandered others, even subtly? (Psalm 15:3)

5. Do I speak the whole truth in love when interacting with others, or do I hide behind half-truths?

6. Who do I honor, admire, and look up to most? Are they people who fear the Lord? (Psalm 15:4)

7. Have I kept my promises even when it cost me time, comfort, or money? Why is this so rare in our culture?

8. Do I use my money and resources to help others and glorify God, or am I primarily serving myself? (Psalm 15:5)

9. How does Psalm 15 expose my inability to be “blameless” on my own?

10. How does Jesus Christ fulfill Psalm 15 perfectly,  and how does His righteousness become mine through faith?

11. If God asked you today, “Why should I let you into heaven?” What would you say? How confident are you in that answer?

12. What is one practical way you can “walk blamelessly” this week in your home, workplace, or community?
