How to Be Blessed | Rev. Chris Waks Preaching | 8.30.26

In this installment of the Faith Supplements series, Rev. Chris Waks draws on the account of Jesus washing his disciples' feet in John 13 to explore the transformative power of service. He argues that service is not merely a kind gesture but a radical theological act rooted in the nature of God himself. Just as Jesus, in the fullness of his divinity, emptied himself to take the form of a servant, Christians are called to give themselves away in the same manner. Service, he contends, functions like iron in the body of a believer—its effects are felt quickly and profoundly, reigniting stagnant faith, building community, and leading to a deep and lasting blessing that transcends material reward. The sermon offers two practical calls to action and closes with Jesus' own promise that those who serve will be blessed.
