Speaker: Jon Kopp - What is your story? Where did you come from? We all have different answers to that question. But, the question we must consider this morning is, what story are we telling? That’s exactly what Asaph is going to address today in Psalm 78. That’s at the center of this Psalm. Psalm 78 is unique. It isn’t necessarily directed at God. It is actually directed to a group of people. It is a history that was to be recited and reviewed liturgically. It would have been read at festivals to remember who God is and what He is like, and that was on purpose. You see, this Psalm isn’t random. The history it tells is not given merely to record the past, but to change people for the future. This story was being told and remembered for a purpose. And that’s our big idea this morning. If you could pass one thing on to the next generation, what would it be? Asaph is going to tell us that there is a story that needs to be told, and it is important to get it right so that it gets passed on.
