Trading Down

(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes)

In his recruitment of John Scully for Apple Computers, Steve Jobs asked Scully,
“Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?” Imagine what would have happened if he had replied, “Sugared water is good enough for me.” Yet as we open up our new series in Galatians, we’ll meet a church that was ready to make a foolish trade down. As we open up Galatians we’ll begin to see how we too, find ourselves trading down in ways that cost us dearly.

But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.
