Based upon James 4:13-16, this sermon sought to draw our attention to the futility of a life not entirely hinged upon Christ and his will for our lives. Being blind to our own pride, we are prone to carry on as though we have control of even the next second of our lives. James admonishes that we ought not to like that, but instead to always consider that our lives and outcomes are entirely in the hands of our maker and Lord, knowing which we must then cast all of ourselves fully on him.
