When Heaven Records Faithfulness

We live in a world where much of the good we do often goes unnoticed. You serve, help, pray, love — and sometimes it feels like no one sees it. But Scripture offers a very different perspective. Hebrews 6:10 states, “God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you showed for His name.” This means every act of kindness, every moment of obedience, every quiet sacrifice made for the Lord is remembered. Nothing is wasted. Nothing is ignored.

This Sunday, we'll discuss the faith that God remembers. Not the loud or public moments — but the small, steady, hidden ones that show our love for Christ. Malachi 3 tells us that God keeps a “scroll of remembrance” for those who honor Him. That’s a beautiful promise. Heaven notices even when no one else does.

As we start Thanksgiving week, this message is just what many of us need. Some of us are tired, some discouraged, and some wonder if what we do even matters. God’s Word says it does. Your service matters, your love matters, your perseverance matters, and God will honor those who stay faithful.

If you need encouragement…
If you need hope…
If you need a reminder that God sees you…

Join us this Sunday at Cornerstone.
Let’s gather to worship, open God’s Word, and be encouraged by the truth that those who dedicate their lives to the kingdom today will rejoice when their record is revealed tomorrow.

Sunday, November 23
Bible Class 9:45 am | Worship 10:45 am
5051 Wilmington Pike, Centerville

We’d love to have you with us.

  1. What “better things” do you see God producing in your own life right now? Where do you see evidence of genuine faith growing?
  2. What quiet acts of faithfulness have you been offering to God when no one else was watching? How does it change your outlook knowing none of them are forgotten?
  3. Where do you feel weary or tempted to slow down spiritually? What step of perseverance is God calling you to take this week?
  4. What blessings from this past year remind you most clearly of God’s faithfulness? How can gratitude steady you as you enter new challenges?
  5. If you could see one thing written by God about your life, what do you hope it would say?
