Revelation 12:11
And they defeated the devil
by the blood of the Lamb
and by their testimony.
And they did not love
their lives so much
that they were afraid to die.
TWENTY ONE PILOTS LYRIC
“Ode To Sleep.” Regional At Best
Take this weapon
Forged in darkness
Some see a pen,
I see a harpoon
The Gospel According to Twenty One Pilots
EXCERPT FROM SERMON
Do you know what the
“Weapon Forged in Darkness” is?
It’s your story!
Some see a pen,
but God sees a harpoon.
Our eating disorders, our depression.
Our addictions, our pride.
Insecurity. Unforgiveness. Vanity.
Once we give these to God,
we never have to be ashamed of them again.
I am not ashamed
of the decade I spent as an alcoholic.
In fact, I’m encouraged by it.
Because now it serves
as a constant reminder
of all that God’s done for me.
When I was at my worst,
I asked God for help,
and he reached down and said,
“This one is mine!”
My brokenness has been made beautiful.
My shame has become my story.
Genesis 50:20 says,
“You meant evil against me,
but God meant it for good,
in order to bring about today’s result,
and so that many people
should be saved.”
Make no mistake,
We’re combatting culture.
We’re battling behemoths.
And where some may look at us
and see damaged goods…
God sees dragon slayers!
