This sermon by Pastor Anthony Uvenio explores the human tendency to boast and live life according to one's own will, contrasting it with God's sovereignty and the importance of living for His glory. He uses the song "My Way" as an example of the arrogance of self-reliance, highlighting how this "my way" thinking is an evil boast in God's eyes. Pastor Anthony emphasizes the fleeting nature of life, urging listeners to acknowledge God's role in every aspect of their existence and to live with an eternal perspective. The passage references James 4:13-17, which encourages believers to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that." He shares a personal testimony of how God changed his life, emphasizing that salvation and a purposeful life are products of God's will and grace. The ultimate example is Jesus Christ, who perfectly exemplified submission to the Father's will in His life, death, and mission. The sermon concludes with a call to repent from self-centeredness, trust in Jesus, and live fearlessly for God's glory, acknowledging that life is not our own but a gift to be used for His purposes.
