Amen and amen. How we doing, church? Good. You look great. If you got your Bibles, hope you do. Galatians

Chapter 1, we are going to study one verse for our time together today. Just one verse. You need your

Bibles. You need to look at this. It's Galatians 1.10. I want to read it. Tell you something

about it. It says this, for am I now seeking the approval of man or of God?

Or am I trying to please man?

If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

I want to tell you about the goodness of God and his sovereignty in my life just this past week.

You see, this message is only for people

who care too much about what other people think about them. Anybody do that? Anybody care too

much? Okay? So it's those of us with our hands up and then the liar sitting next to us.

All right? So I told you last week that this past week I had the opportunity to speak

at an Act 29 conference.

That's the network of churches that we belong to and have belonged to for a long time.

And I get invited to speak at all the things because of you, because of you.

When you have a big church, they invite you to speak all the things.

And I'm going to be honest.

It's fine.

My favorite place to preach is here with you. I don't love to preach the pastors because you

show up like eager and leaning in. Pastors come up full of ego insecurity and every time I start

to talk, they're like, I could do this way better. Why does he get to be the speaker? You know what I

mean? So it's fine. But the reason that I was a little bit kind of torn up about this one this week. There were some ballers there, no doubt, like Brian Luritz was there,

Matt Chandler is there, but that's fine. They're my buddy, so I don't care what they think.
