The sermon centers on the destructive nature of pride, illustrated through the fall of Lucifer in Ezekiel 28:11–19, identifying five key triggers: supremacy, knowledge, beauty, power, and possessions. Each of these attributes, though originally gifts from God, became instruments of pride when misaligned with humility, leading to spiritual ruin. The preacher emphasizes that pride is the root of all sin, defined as a constant preoccupation with self, while humility is the continual focus on God and others. Drawing from Scripture, historical examples, and cultural observations, the message calls believers to vigilance against these temptations, urging a life of self-denial, gratitude, and dependence on God, grounded in the truth that God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.
