In this episode of Your Week with St. Luke’s, we’ll explore Jesus’ command in John 15 to “love one another as I have loved you” alongside the vision of the early church in Acts 2, where believers devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, prayer, and radical generosity. Pastor Jenn reminds us that Jesus redefined friendship as sacrificial love, a love embodied in bold, risky action for the sake of others. Drawing from John Wesley’s rule to “do good,” she emphasizes that acts of love are not optional niceties but channels of God’s grace and powerful witnesses to Christ. The Acts 2 church demonstrates how this love becomes structural, reorganizing life around community and care for the vulnerable, which in turn draws others to faith. What does this mea for today’s church?
