Psalms for the Summer: Faithful and Unfaithful Generations : Psalm 78

Hello, you are listening to Second City Sermons,

a ministry of Second City Church in Midtown Harrisburg.

It's our hope that these sermons will draw you

more into the life of following God, Father,

Son, and Holy Spirit. Please consider coming

and joining with us each Sunday morning at 10am

in the heart of Midtown Harrisburg. You can find

us online at secondcitychurch .org and on Facebook,

Instagram, and YouTube. We hope you enjoy this

sermon. God bless. Let's pray again. Lord, thank

you for the Psalms, these songs, these prayers

that the community together would offer up to

you. Lord, I pray that this community, Second

City Church, would hear these words, that we

would hide them in our hearts, that we would

live them out in faithfulness to you, that you

would teach us what you need to teach us today.

I pray that our hearts would be open to you and

that you would speak, Lord. That we would hear

your voice. Would the words of my mouth and these

meditations of all of our hearts be pleasing

in your sight? the Lord our rock and our Redeemer.

Amen. All right, I don't know if you have heard

this, but I've heard this a few times recently

that dinner parties and family meals are getting

less and less interesting. People just aren't

sure what to talk about. Some of it is that we

live our lives in isolation. There's a few other

interesting reasons that I have. At about, I'm

not going to get into all those right now. Instead,

what I want to do is give you your question for

your next dinner. OK? It's probably one you've

been asked. I've been asked this before, but

it's a great question. It helps you get to know

somebody else. Here's what it is. Who is a who

is a teacher in your life that had a big impact

on you? Great question. Of course, the subsequent

question is. Why? What did they teach you? that

influenced you. Not just who it is, why and what,

okay? Who, why what? Teacher. Maybe ask that

around your dinner table tonight. Maybe ask that

with some friends. I have often thought that,

when that question comes up, the people that

come to my mind often are my high school teachers.

I can actually remember all their names, my high

school teachers. I can remember very few of my

college teachers, but my high school teachers

I can remember. And then also I think of my young

life leader actually in high school, Matt Shorak.

He had a huge impact in my life. But I kind of

was thinking about this because a couple of weeks

ago, I was telling Lily that the first time I

got to go sailing was with one of my high school

teachers. took me out on a sailboat with a couple

other friends. It was so fun, and I remember

that very clearly. Just the love and the kindness

that was shown to me. But I want to tell you

actually a little bit about one of my other teachers,

who was not just my teacher, he was my history

teacher my junior and senior year, but also my

high school principal. His name is Dick Hanula,

Richard Hanula. As the high school principal,

he of course had to also be a disciplinarian.

This is not something that I faulted for at all.

In fact, it was a wise and good thing and he

was very kind in it. But I remember being called

into his office with four of my other classmates

and we weren't just reprimanded with gentleness

and kindness, but we were also fined because

that was the policy of the school. Because after

the school play, which we were in, as seniors,

we were over at one of the other seniors house

and we were all smoking cigars, which was not

according to school policy. So anyway, but he

did that in gentleness. I remember I remember

where I was sitting in his office. But beyond

some beyond somebody that like took sort of these

rules with grace, but also with proper. sort

of severity and love in that. He also just loved

where we lived. He actually wrote our history

book on the Pacific Northwest in Washington State.

And I knew this guy loved the Northwest. He loved

the people of the Northwest, he loved the place,

and he just exuded it. He also loved, loved history.

He actually wrote a book called Radiant, 50 Remarkable

Women in Church History, but he primarily liked

to teach 20th century history. And he was funny

and he's still living. I'm just saying was because

it's my past. So he was kind of dry. He was funny

and he was kind of warm, but also really serious.

And he gave us the option one year to get extra

credit for us who both wanted to take it on and

who maybe needed to take it on. And the extra

credit was that we memorize Billy Joel's famous,

we didn't start the fire. because we were learning

about the Cold War. And so if we memorize the

whole thing and sang it in front of the whole

class, we could get extra credit. You know, we

didn't start the fire. It was always burning.

I mean, it's such a good song. By the way, he

also wrote a book on Samuel Rutherford, the Scottish

preacher. He's a great guy. But Mr. Hanula, I

want to say is a great... teacher because he

was so very principled and he desired, he loved

the content and he wanted it to be known, to

be loved. He wanted to teach us well. He wanted

us to love the Pacific Northwest where I grew

up. It's history, it's people, it's places. He

wanted us to know the historical figures that

we might actually be shaped well as people, right?

So Psalm 78, we're in this Psalm today. Cause

we're making our way through the Psalms in the

summers. You know, this is the 12th summer we've

been doing this. And it's a long Psalm, isn't

it? That's a long Psalm. How many of you drifted

off? You do not need to raise your hand. How

many of you began to dream about canoeing on

the yellow breaches? Yeah. Quite a few of you,

probably. Nobody raised their hand, but that's

fine. If you're interested for your next Bible

trivia, Psalm 78 is the second longest Psalm

in the Psalter. The longest one being Psalm 119,

of course, that one's much, much longer. But

this is a history Psalm, and that's actually

not normally one of the categories that people

break the Psalms down into. I've mentioned, of

course, last week that lament is by far the most,

the largest category. There's Psalms of praise

and royal Psalms and things like that. And then

there's a small category that some people make

called history Psalms, where they recount much

of the history or key aspects of the history

of God working with his people. If you're interested,

it's Psalm 105, 106, 135, 136, and 78. Those

are the history Psalms. It's a history lesson,

but before it gives the history lesson, it says,

remember the past and teach it to those who go

ahead. So, I want us to sort of consider two

big lessons, and it sort of begins like this,

I think. Instruct the present and the future

with the past. That's kind of big lesson one.

And then the obvious next lesson is learn the

history of the past. Learn it, know it. If you're

gonna be told to teach it, you gotta know it.

So first, instruct the present and the future

with the past. So if you hopefully have your

Bibles open to Psalm 78, found on page 578. Oh,

that's pretty handy. What you will notice maybe

is that there's this first kind of section, it's

really verses one to eight, that sort of are

a preface or a preamble to the whole rest of

it. You know, right? In that section, there's

not so much of the history happening yet. It's

sort of here. Here's what you need to do. And

there's two things that it tells us. First, I

want to say that place the past alongside the

present, right? So if this first main point is

instruct the present and the future with the

past, the first thing is place the past alongside

the present. Verse one, give ear to my people,

to my teaching, incline your ears to the words

of my mouth. So he's speaking in the present.

Here, listen to me, listen to me. I'll open my

mouth in a parable. I'll utter dark sayings from

things, dark things, things that may have been

forgotten or pushed aside. Things that we have

heard and known that our fathers have told us

maybe aren't before our eyes like they need to

be. We will not hide them from their children,

but tell them to the coming generation. We're

going to get to that in a second. But an interesting

thing here is that the past is called a parable.

And it's called a parable there in verse two,

right? I'll open my mouth in a parable. And if

you think of a parable, probably what you think

of is, well, you probably think of the parables

of Jesus. That's probably one thing you think

of, like the good Samaritan, all these different

parables, right? And maybe when you think of

a parable, you think fictitious, right? Maybe

not grounded in what really happened, that kind

of thing. But I want to just kind of dispel that,

okay? Christianity is based on what happened.

In fact, Paul says, if the resurrection didn't

happen, we're all to be most pitied. And the

scriptures are always saying God did this in

real time and space. These things happened. Okay.

So what does the parable mean here? Well, para

means alongside of that prefix. And the parable

part comes from balein, which means to throw.

So you put these two things together. And what

it means is to take alongside, to put it along,

to throw it alongside, to put it alongside. So

you're supposed, the idea is that you're supposed

to have one story and another, and you're supposed

to compare the two. What are you supposed to

learn from this story? How does this good Samaritan,

you know, the person that comes up to Jesus,

who's my neighbor, and he tells the story and

you're supposed to put that story along with

your story. How do you understand who your neighbor

is? So we're supposed to put. history alongside

our story and to learn in the present from the

past. Of course, there's tons of great quotes

about history. Think of James Baldwin saying,

history is not the past, it is the present. We

carry our history with us. There's a parable

dynamic. Of course, there's a famous quote also

from George Santayana saying, those who cannot

remember the past are what? Yeah, gonna repeat

it So put it alongside the present take the past

learn it Instruct the present with it Of course,

there's tons we can learn from history One of

the things that we can learn from history is

that oftentimes our stories aren't terribly different

than theirs So we can actually use them as walls

comparing our lives with what has happened in

the past Of course, it invites certain questions.

Have we learned from it? Have we learned enough

that we are able to actually speak to it with

those who come alongside us or after us? Will

our children know that we've learned it in such

a way because we speak of it, right? Of course,

this begs the question of what kind of legacy

we leave also. Have we learned from the past

and what will people say of us when we become

the past? Place the past. But this, of course,

quickly brings up the idea that the path doesn't

just inform the present, but it informs also

the future, right? So the other thing that's

in this little preamble here is talk to the future

about the past. Don't just learn it in the present,

but talk to the future about the past. Teach

the past to the future. And that's actually kind

of the main thing that's happening in this preamble.

And so I'll just walk through verse four, right?

We will not hide them from their children, but

tell the coming generations, verse five, the

second half, which He commanded, talking about

the law appointed in Israel, which He commanded

our fathers to teach their children. Verse 6,

that the next generation might know them, the

children, even yet unborn, it doesn't say even,

but yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their

children. You know, it's like that Russian doll

just keeps going. Verse 7. So that they should

set their hope on God and not forget his works.

You know, this memory that's being passed on.

Verse eight, and that they should not be like

their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation,

a generation whose heart was not steadfast. It's

all this generational language. Teach the past

to the future. It's really clear here is teaching

the past to the future. What that of course assumes

is that you know it. that you know it, you know,

shirk it off, that you learn it yourself, that

you place your own story alongside it as a parable

to be thought of together, to be instructed for

yourself and for the coming generations. Now,

okay, let me stop there for a moment before we

kind of get into the next section because I have

a few questions that I want to ask you. And though

these may seem like they're geared towards parents,

which I think to some degree they are, keep in

mind that this psalm was to be read by the whole

community. It was to be sung by the whole community

together. And so this is broadly for us. What

are your children going to say that they learned

from you? You know, your children aren't going

to be able to, I don't know, spend a hundred

hours talking about what they learned from you.

If they were quickly to say, what did they learn

from you? What are they going to say? What are

the children of this church going to say they

learned from us? Kind of similarly, what do you

want your children to say that they learned from

you? I think related to this is just a real simple

question if we go back to the dinner table. What

are your children going to say that you were

always talking about? Like just literally, like

think about your life, think about the conversations.

What are the things that are often on your lips?

What are your children gonna say they heard you

talking about a lot? Of course, let's keep in

mind, there's a lot of good answers, right? There

are a lot of good answers to these questions.

I can think back, right, of Mr. Hanula teaching

me the history of the Pacific Northwest. I want

my children to know the history of their place

and to love it. Right? I want to think through

creatively, how do I learn some of the history

of Harrisburg and our church and all of this

so that I can teach you? So those are good things.

I hope your children say that my parents taught

me to seek the welfare of the city where God

has placed them, like we're instructed to do

in Jeremiah 29, as Jeremiah instructed the exiles

in Babylon to do long ago. I want my children

to learn to love the arts and music and painting

and all of that. My kids love sports and I love

that. There's lots of answers that you could

give. But what will they say that you most talked

about? What were you eager to have on your lips

more than anything else? What will they say,

you know, my parents wanted me to love? Well,

of course, there are a number of questions or

passages that I could read to you from, well,

actually quite a few, but let me read to you

Deuteronomy 6 verses 6 to 9. So this is Moses.

Deuteronomy 6:6–9

This is his fifth book as they enter into the

promised land. He's instructing them. Deuteronomy

means the second giving of the law. This is the

book that was written right before they entered

in. He says, and these words that I command you

today shall be on your heart. And that's lip

service. You shall teach them diligently to your

children, and shall talk of them when you sit

in your house, when you walk by the way, when

you lie down and when you rise. You shall bind

them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be

as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write

them on the doorposts of your house and on your

gates." He's saying the law of the Lord and the

ways of God and how He has saved you are the

thing. That's it. That you should have on your

lips when you're walking around when you're lying

down when you're eating your dinner They're on

your hands. They're right before you they're

right between your eyes. It's what you see That

is what our children should know That we want

to strike them in So will your children say main

thing? The main thing that you wanted them to

know and to pass on to their own children was

God In some ways, it's a simple assessment. It's

a great question. Is that going to be the thing

that your children go, that's what my parents,

that's what my church, that's what their friends

wanted me to know. The glorious deeds of the

Lord, as it says here, his might, his wonders

that he's done. Well, they say you wanted them

to not forget the works of God, but to keep his

commandments. As verse seven says, will they

say that you did not want them to be stubborn

and rebellious generation, that we're not steadfast

and we're not faithful to God? As verse eight

says, what will they say that you taught them?

What's the main thing? So my first point is this,

instruct the present. Learn it yourself, the

past as a parable. the present and the future

with the past. Okay. Of course, what very easily

comes out of that is the second main point, which

is what happened, right? I mean, that's a good

question. Well, if we're supposed to know this,

what is this? What are these lessons from history?

That's kind of the second main thing. What are

the lessons from history? And let's just broadly

agree that learning the lessons from history

is a very wise thing to do. And you can agree

with this if you're a Christian or not. Learn

the good things from history and the not so good

things from history, right? There's lots that

we can say are great about our city from past

and that are not so great. There's a lot of good

about our country from the past. And a lot that's

not so great. And, you know, when you talk about

American history, it seems as though you either

have to be in one of those camps, right? It's

either you have to look at it, go, oh, man, blah,

blah, blah, blah. Just, you know, only the story

is the story of slavery or it's only good. We

know that it's more complex than that, of course.

Think about think about some of the history that

we must learn here in Harrisburg. Some of you

all know the history of the Eighth Ward here

in Harrisburg that became our state capital park

where soldiers grow in that area. That was like,

that ward was the heartbeat of primarily the

minority communities and immigrant communities

in our city. Place where the churches and the

synagogues were, where the music venues were,

where their businesses thrived. We decided we

want Soldiers Grove instead. We displaced thousands

of minorities and immigrants. Primarily the black

community, the Jewish community, Italian communities.

We need to know these stories. These are important

stories for our city to tell. And we need to

know the stories of God's great work and our

rebellious hearts. And that's kind of the two

big things that are in the rest of this Psalm.

The story of God's great work, His saving acts

for His people and our rebellion, our rebellious

sinful hearts. So first, the work of God for

His... The work of God were wondrous for His

people. His great saving acts were amazing for

His people. So let's see, guys. Do we have...

Verse 9 to 72, you ready? Here's what we're gonna

do. I'm just gonna highlight some of these for

you, okay? We're not gonna walk through it all.

I know we have canoeing and I need to be at Paxton.

You all wanna eat eventually. But if you look

at verse 13 to 16, what you'll see is a little

bit here of being recounted of what God did in

parting the Red Sea. And the story of the pillar

of fire by night and the cloud by day, right?

Of how God brought them in safety, even when

things seemed like we saw last week, unimaginably

against them. God was providing for them. I mean,

there's some beautiful language here. He made

the waters stand like a heap. Waters don't stand

like a heap unless God does it. His saving acts

for his people. Amazing. If you look down at

verse 20, this is kind of a funny verse because

they spoke against God saying, can God spread

a table in the wilderness? He struck the rocks

with the waters gushed out and streamed overflowing.

Can he also give bread and provide - First people,

that's kind of a rebellious thing. But the fact

is that it does recount what God does, right?

Even in the rebellious hearts, it's mentioning

what God does. If we look at verses 23 down to

verse 29, I'm not going to read all of this,

but we can, this part here is talking about how

God provided them food in the wilderness, this

desert place. You know, and if you know the story,

what they're really grumbling about is the fact

that they had, ah, the food back in Egypt. Some

of you know the Keith Green song, ah, hamburgers.

right? They're remembering the hamburgers. They're

thinking back and they're grumbling and God provides

for them miraculously, unbelievably, lavishly

in the midst of the desert. We can jump down

to verse 45 to 51. This is a long recounting.

of the plague that God sent because Pharaoh was

hardened and he was not going to let God's people

go. And he sends these plague after plague after

plague so that his people can be freed from their

400 years of slavery. God using his power, his

saving act for the sake of his people. Verses

54 and 55, they brought them to his holy land,

to the mountains, which his right hand had won.

He drove out nations before them. He appointed

them. for possession, and settled the tribes

of Israel in their tents. He's saying God is

the one that brought us into this promised land.

It's He that did it. Which, by the way, let me

take a quick aside here. This is a rabbit trail

that has to do with the point. The first battle

that takes place when God brings His people from

the wilderness into the promised land is the

battle of Jericho, right? What do the people

of God do in that? They don't do basically anything.

They walk around and they blow a horn. And actually,

is God gracious? He shows His grace is open to

all the people there at Jericho. Why do we know

that? Because Rahab, who is a prostitute, is

the one that is saved because she says, I follow

your God. People don't do anything. God does

it. Right? And that's part of what this is recounting.

This is the mighty acts of God for these people

that just don't do anything. Anyway, this is

the refrain in this psalm. It goes, here's what

God did. Here's what God did. Here's what God

did. Here's the story of how God acts. Here's

how he does miraculously beyond what you could

imagine, beyond what makes sense of creation.

Here's how he has done it. He's done it all.

But I asked you, partly because I know my own

mind is going to wander when somebody's reading

72 verses. So I asked you, hey, would you try

to be attentive? when I'm reading this, to the

buts and the yet's and the even so's and all

of that kind of stuff. Because as much as this

Psalm is recounting for us the wondrous acts

of God for his people, it is so instantly recounting

for us their rebellious hearts and their sinful

lives. And so let's look at some of these, okay?

And they're kind of sandwiched in between all

those other ones, right? Verse 10 and 11, right

after this command, they did not keep God's covenant,

but refused to walk according to his law. They

forgot his works and the wonders he had shown

them. Verse 17 to 19, yet they sinned still more

against him, rebelling against the most high

in the desert. They tested God in their hearts

by demanding the food they craved. They spoke

against God saying, can God spread a table in

the wilderness? Verse 21 and 22. They didn't

believe God or trust in his saving power. Verse

31. Yeah, despite all that he had done, they

still sinned. Despite his wondrous, they don't

believe. Verse 36, verse 37. flattered him with

their mouths, but lied to him with their tongue,

as their hearts were not satisfied toward him.

They were not faithful to his covenant. Verse

40, how often they rebelled against him in the

wilderness and grieved him in the desert. And

then verse 56 to 66, which I'm not going to read

all of again, but it begins, Yet they tested

and rebelled against the Most High God. And actually

what that whole next section is talking about

is that they rebelled in terms of idols. They

went after other gods. They said, something else

is going to give me what I desire. Something

else is going to protect me and provide for me

and give me meaning. See, here's what's happening

is that all along this recounting of history

that that the preamble says you've got a place

alongside your own, is recounting the great deeds

of God and recounting a rebellious and sinful

people, constantly. Just as you go throughout,

you're like, man, God is amazing. And man, these

people, which they were to say is us, because

they're singing it, reject God again and again.

See, if we tell this history well, you have to

tell both the wondrous part and the rebellious

part. If you're going to live wisely in the present,

if you're going to instruct the future, you got

to tell both sides. So again, what story are

you telling? Are you telling stories of God's

faithfulness? Are you willing to tell the stories

of your own rebellion? Maybe you noticed that

actually in this Psalm also, the rebellion is

not just, hey, we did this, but actually here's

the effects of it. Here's the judgment, or here's

just how this destroyed us. Here's how my sin

led to something that was really not good. Are

you telling a story with your work? and with

your actions that is honest. Do you spend your

time and your money? Because that's another way

that we tell a story that recounts the wonders

of God. Are you telling history honestly? To

tell history well, to tell the history of God

and of God's people, to tell our own stories

faithfully, you have to tell both of these. We

have to tell the story of God's wondrous grace

and our sin. We have to tell the stories of the

disastrous effects of sin. So how do you tell

the story? What's the story you're telling? Are

you being honest with it? I have often thought,

and I've said this before, but probably not for

a long time, one of the reasons why I'm a Christian,

which is a good question to ask yourself. Let

me encourage you with this. I've given you so

many questions to ask around the dinner table,

but maybe ask this one. Why are you Christian?

If you're with a Christian, okay? If you're having

lunch together today, maybe before going canoeing,

maybe ask yourself, why are you a Christian?

Here's one of the reasons why I'm a Christian.

The world is immensely, sometimes overwhelmingly

beautiful. I mean, creation itself at times.

How many of us have sat down along the riverside

park and watched the sunset? I mean, it's like

it will literally take your breath away. But

other people are like each one of you are like

wonderfully beautiful. And if you sit with someone,

you're like amazed by, wow, look at how you're

made and how insightful different people. I mean,

it's like so much beauty in the world, which

is how the whole Bible begins. The great works

of God. Good, good, good. You know, God looks

back and says, very good. So you have to give

an account. You have to give an account for the

wondrous beauty of the world, the overwhelming

beauty of the world. But you must also give an

account for why is why are things so messed up?

Why is it that the streets do not feel safe at

certain times of the day at night? Why does war

persist as it does when so many do desire peace?

Why are marriages, even the best marriages, so

often fraught with conflict? So you must give

an account both for the beauty of the world and

for the brokenness of the world. You have to,

because it is so glaringly obvious. And one of

the reasons I'm a Christian is because Christianity

does that. It doesn't shirk off either. It doesn't

say, ah, it's so messed up. Right? It's not just

a Debbie Downer about things. Nor is it sort

of, ah, everything's just fine. Don't worry about

it. It gives a true account of the way the world

is. So here's this story that's doing the same

for the people of God and God's interaction with

us. The mighty saving acts of God in a consistently

rebellious people. I wonder if you were able

to make it with attention. to the end. It's a

long Psalm. I don't blame you if you didn't.

But if you get to the end, the last little paragraph

there, the very last part of it, it says things

like this. He rejected the tent of Joseph, you

know, all this stuff, but he built a sanctuary

like the heavens, like the earth, which he's

founded forever. He chose David his servant and

took him from the sheepfolds. From following

the nursing ewes, he brought him to shepherd

Jacob his people. Israel his inheritance. With

upright heart he shepherded them and guided them

with his skillful hand. There's this story of

God working and just the consistent rebellious

sinfulness of God's people and it ends with saying

there is a shepherd who once shepherded ewes

as they were nursing their children. but now

it's the shepherd my people. And the New Testament,

and actually the scriptures often look forward

to a greater David. And that one is actually

called the shepherd of his people, the true shepherd,

right? The good shepherd, as John says, and as

Jesus. And I think, honestly, this, I don't think

this is forcing this at all. This passage is

pointing us to the work of God in Christ Jesus.

Because it is in Jesus that we see the true telling

of the story, right? The true account of the

world is seen in the Great Shepherd. Because

Jesus does not shirk off the wonder of the world,

so often He's re -establishing the wonder of

the world. He's giving sight to the blind. Making

the lame to walk. He's re -establishing social

relationships that have been broken. He's feeding

people. After the resurrection, most of the time,

he's just eating with people as though he's like

delighting in the wonder of the taste of grilled

fish over a campfire. He's saying this world

is lovely. But what the cross does is it says,

this world is in utter rebellion. And you and

I are in utter rebellion. And it does us no good

to shirk that off. That has got to be dealt with

because the effects of rebellion are destruction.

The effects of rebellion are always disastrous.

And so Jesus goes to the place where there is

the most destruction, the most gruesome destruction,

the cross, and says, I'm going to show you both

the love of God and the heinous reality of rebellion

and sin. And I'm gonna take that upon myself.

Your sin and your rebellion is so awful that

it demands the very death of God, but God gladly

does it for you because He holds together the

beauty of the world and the brokenness. He tells

the story honestly. So I'm gonna invite you again.

First, I'm going to ask you to ask the question,

who is the teacher that influenced you the most?

Why? Right? Who? Why? What? How did he influence

you? And then I want you to ask this question.

I've given you a lot, but these are the two main

ones. What history are you telling? What history

are your words telling, your actions telling?

And if you're a Christian, are they telling the

story of Jesus? That's what we are to pass on

to one another. We're to pass on to the generations

after us. That's what we're to instill in them

in such a way that they want to instill it to

their children and their children's children.

What story are you telling? Let's pray. Lord,

God, we're thankful for this Psalm long though

it is packed full of different stories that we

could dive into. But God, I thank you for this.

sober encouragement, and I pray, Lord, that in

the sobriety of it, we would look to the cross

and cast our sins there, where we are washed

clean by the pure and spotless Lamb who is our

Lord Jesus himself, in whose name we pray. Amen.
