#325 - Bible Study - The Approval Trap - Galatians 1.10

Paul had just called down the curse of God on false teachers. Twice. Then he stops and asks the room a question about himself: do I seek to please men?

This is the Bible study companion to Sunday's sermon. We take one verse slowly, hear what the scholars say, and trace the approval trap from King Saul to the Pharisees to the modern church growth playbook... and then to the one approval that is already settled.
