"Work": A Sermon Outline for Sunday, September 18, 2011

“Work”
John 9:4-5

Proposition:  All followers of Christ are to be busy doing the works of God.

Transition:  The incident with the man born blind provides us with an exhortation to do the works of God as well as an example from Jesus. 

I.  Listen to the Exhortation of Christ (4).
 A.  There is a Need to Work (4a).
1.  There is work to do.
2.  It is necessary we work.
 B.  There are Works to Work (4b).
            1.  It is important work since it comes from God.
            2.  It is important work because of the needs of others.
            3.  It is important work because it is given to us.
 C.  There is a Time to Work (4c).

II.  Look at the Example of Christ (5).
 A.  He is the Light of the World.
            1.  He provides spiritual illumination to those in darkness.
            2.  He provides spiritual heat to those needing change.
            3.  He provides spiritual light for those on the path to glory.
 B.  We, too, are to be Lights of the World.
