Hebrews 3:1–5 (NLT) — 1 And so, dear brothers and sisters who belong to God and are partners with those called to heaven, think carefully about this Jesus whom we declare to be God’s messenger and High Priest. 2 For he was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses served faithfully when he was entrusted with God’s entire house. 3 But Jesus deserves far more glory than Moses, just as a person who builds a house deserves more praise than the house itself. 4 For every house has a builder, but the one who built everything is God. 5 Moses was certainly faithful in God’s house as a servant. His work was an illustration of the truths God would reveal later.

Faithfulness is the gold standard for God - Matthew 25:23 (NLT) — 23 “The master said, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’

Four signs of a faithful servant:

1. Faithful servants receive assignments
   1. Moses was at the bush and God gave him an assignment.
   2. Receiving an assignment has to do with LISTENING.
      1. Faithful servants of the Lord check-in.
      2. Faithful servants of the Lord are sensitive to His voice.
      3. Faithful servants of the Lord pick up assignments.
2. Faithful servants get to work
3. Faithful servants stay on the job
   1. Numbers 11:10–16 (NLT) — 10 Moses heard all the families standing in the doorways of their tents whining, and the LORD became extremely angry. Moses was also very aggravated. 11 And Moses said to the LORD, “Why are you treating me, your servant, so harshly? Have mercy on me! What did I do to deserve the burden of all these people? 12 Did I give birth to them? Did I bring them into the world? Why did you tell me to carry them in my arms like a mother carries a nursing baby? How can I carry them to the land you swore to give their ancestors? 13 Where am I supposed to get meat for all these people? They keep whining to me, saying, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ 14 I can’t carry all these people by myself! The load is far too heavy! 15 If this is how you intend to treat me, just go ahead and kill me. Do me a favor and spare me this misery!” 16 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Gather before me seventy men who are recognized as elders and leaders of Israel. Bring them to the Tabernacle to stand there with you.
   2. Faithfulness is seeing the job through until completion.
   3. Galatians 6:9 (NLT) — 9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
4. Faithful servants bear fruit
   1. It’s not enough to just “still have” your assignment. You must turn it into something better. 
   2. God is looking for people who will make excellent, prosperous, and fruitful, what he puts in their hands.
