Not Alone

Domestic violence is a heartbreaking and widespread issue affecting millions of people each year. In this video, we unpack what domestic violence looks like, its devastating impact, and how we can respond as a community of faith. Through biblical insights, real-world examples, and practical steps, we offer hope, healing, and encouragement for those impacted. Whether you're seeking help, supporting a loved one, or looking to make a difference, this message reminds us that no one is ever truly alone. Together, we can reflect God's love and bring light to the darkness.

Talk About It
1. Have you ever known someone affected by domestic violence? How did that experience shape your perspective on the issue?
2. How does God’s design for relationships, as described in Ephesians 5, contrast with the dynamics of an abusive relationship?
3. What can we as a church community do to support both abusers and victims of domestic violence and work toward prevention?
4. How can we get more comfortable intervening when we suspect someone we know is in an abusive relationship?
5. What does Proverbs 31:9 mean in the context of domestic violence, and how can we “see that they get justice”?
6. Why is it important to have a safety plan for leaving an abusive situation? What practical steps might be included in such a plan?
7. How does true repentance differ from simply feeling sorry?
8. Have you ever witnessed someone or a couple work through challenges to find healing and restoration? What role did faith or community play in their journey?
9. In what ways can you or your small group contribute to raising awareness or providing resources for domestic violence victims in your community?
10. How does the statement, “There is nothing Godly or God-honoring about staying in a relationship where there is violence” align with biblical teachings about love and marriage?
