Contentment (Psalm 49)

from The Gateway Church · host Matt Crummy

The week the world got its first trillionaire, Psalm 49 has something to say. Written by the Sons of Korah—descendants of a man who had everything and reached for more—this ancient wisdom song cuts through the noise with a bluntness that feels almost rude: people, despite their wealth, do not endure. Matt Crummy traces the story behind the psalm and the subtle danger of ambition dressed up as piety. What Korah couldn't accept, his family line turned into a song—and it turns out the question it asks is still the right one. Is nearness to God enough?
