Text: Psalm 78:1-8
Back in the 1800s, there was a famous preacher by the name of Peter Cartwright.

But the elders were concerned and warned Cartwright: "You need to be careful when you preach. We don't want you to offend the President of the US."

Let me say this: Andrew Jackson will go to hell if doesn't repent of his sin!" The entire congregation was appalled. The Elders were angry, and they ALL thought to themselves: "How could our preacher publicly offend the President of the USA?
After the service, Andrew Jackson walked up and met Cartwright face to face. Jackson had been a General in US Army, the hero of the Battle of New Orleans - and he was a man you did not mess with. Jackson sternly looked that preacher in the eye and said, "Sir, If I had a regiment of men like you, I could conquer the world!"
That is the message of god! (showing a meme by Mark Driscoll) "Death is real, Sin is real, Evil is real, Pain is real, God is real, Salvation is real, Forgiveness is Real, and Healing is real." THAT'S THE MESSAGE!

In this morning's text, we read the words of a man named Asaph. Asaph confronted Israel with the reality of sin and the importance of desiring nothing but God. And he essentially told Isra ...
