Faithfulness doesn’t always feel exciting. Most days, it feels ordinary.
It looks like showing up again. Doing what needs to be done. Serving when no one notices.
Giving when it costs. Praying when you’re tired. And if we’re honest, there are moments when even faithful Christians quietly wonder: Is this really making a difference?
That question sits at the heart of this Sunday’s sermon.
This February, our congregation is beginning a new series titled Every Member a Minister. But before we talk about roles, structure, or how everything fits together, we’re starting where Scripture starts—with encouragement. Sunday’s sermon is titled God Sees Your Faithfulness, and it’s meant especially for those who keep serving quietly and steadily.
Hebrews 6:10 reminds us, God is not unjust to forget your work and the love you have shown for his name by serving the saints—and by continuing to serve them. That promise tells us something powerful: faithfulness done for God is never forgotten by God.
Much of what the Lord uses most deeply doesn’t happen in dramatic moments. It happens in patterns of steady obedience, consistent love, and ordinary service over time. Parents raising children in the faith. Older saints who continue to encourage and give even when it’s hard. Teachers, helpers, and servants who pour themselves out week after week. Deacons who quietly shoulder responsibility because they love Christ and His church.
Scripture assures us that God is at work beyond what we can measure. Even when we can’t see immediate results, even when the sacrifice feels heavy, God is doing more than we can see—“above and beyond all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20).
This sermon isn’t a call to do more. It’s a reminder that what you are already doing matters. If you are tired but still faithful, this message is for you. If you feel unseen but committed, this message is for you. If you’ve wondered whether day-to-day obedience really counts, Scripture has a clear answer.
We invite you to join us this Sunday as we begin February by recognizing the quiet faithfulness God is already using—and by resting in the assurance that God sees your faithfulness.

1. Which part of the sermon resonated most with you, and why?
2. Romans 12:6 speaks of “the grace given to us” in our differing gifts. How does understanding this grace as God’s enablement for service (not saving grace) change the way you view your own role in serving others?
3. Why do you think it is easy to underestimate day-to-day faithfulness? What pressures or assumptions cause us to value visible results more than steady obedience?
4. Hebrews 6:10 assures us that God does not forget faithful service. How does that promise help when you feel tired, discouraged, or unseen in what you do?
5. What is one area of your life where you need to trust that God is at work beyond what you can measure?
