Heal the Harm

In this episode of Your Week with St. Luke’s, Pastor Melissa continues the Love Boldly series by exploring John Wesley’s first General Rule—“Do no harm”—and reframing it as the church’s call to heal the harm. Drawing on Isaiah 58:6–12, she unpacks the prophet’s challenge to move beyond empty ritual toward authentic devotion expressed through justice, compassion, and restoration. The message invites us to consider how the church can repair harm—especially harm it has caused—by feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, and dismantling systems of oppression, ultimately becoming “repairers of the breach” and a community that restores hope, justice, and healing.
