  Pastor E. V.  Lightfoot

 Sermon: “The Urgency of God” 

Sermon Text: John 9:4 

Call to Worship: Psalms 23

Responsive Reading: John 9:1-12

Introduction:  I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day the night cometh, when no man can work.  How does God regard time? Although God is eternal, He has a program of redemption for mortal beings, “who are a few days and full of trouble (Job14:1).  God’s commands and commissions throbbing with urgency.  His business requires haste. Jesus is our example: so compelling was his task, so urgent was he in spirit that he crowded into three- and one-half years labor that could have graced a century.  Concerning this urgency, let’s consider two facts and then, based on these two facts, consider two questions.

I. Consider two facts. 

a. First, we are slow to do God's work.  b. Second, God is urgent.

II. Consider two questions that arise from these two facts.

a. First, why are we so slow?  b. Second, what results from our lack of urgency concerning God’s work?

  Conclusion:  There are two prayers we all should pray. First:  “God, give us a vision of yourself, of a God who is in a hurry. Give us a vision of your work, its  importance, it’s urgency. And give us a vision of ourselves, how slow and lackadaisical we are.”  Second: “God, help us realize that the King’s business requires haste. Show us how great your program is, how urgent your cause. Urge us on, Lord, that we may be in a hurry to do your work. Amen.”
