Family, Today’s sermon speaks to a very real and painful reality: women in emotionally and mentally abusive relationships, especially when promises of change are made but harm continues. This message was shared in truth and love, not to shame, judge, or pressure anyone, but to bring clarity, protection, and hope. It reminds us that loving a person does not require accepting abuse, and that boundaries are not a lack of faith. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This sermon discusses emotional and mental abuse, manipulation, and relationship trauma. If this topic is close to your heart, please take care of yourself as you read or listen. It is okay to pause, step away, or reach out for support. If this sermon speaks to you personally: - You are not weak - You are not alone - You are not failing God This is a safe space for respectful discussion, prayer, and support. Please be mindful in your comments. No victim-blaming, no minimizing abuse, and no pressure on anyone to share more than they are comfortable sharing. If you need prayer, you are welcome to ask. If you need silence, that is honored too. We walk this road together, with truth, grace, and Christ at the center.
