The Worst Announcements Ever

Director’s Notes: I am a perfectionist. When it comes down to it, if the service doesn’t run exactly how I have pictured it, I get discouraged. The striving for perfectionism in the church is not a good thing. What God really wants are people who are available to be used. Sure, we should do everything…

The Place of Stubborn Surrender

He had wrestled all night. Wrestled is not quite the right word. Not with this opponent. In later years, he would look back over a life filled with fierce fights and remember this, his fiercest fight as being more a wrestling match with himself than as a contest against his opponent. It was as if…

Not So Amazing Grace

Director’s Notes: Our pastor is starting a series on the popular “Prayer of Jabez” and I wrote this drama to coincide with his first part on ‘Blessings.’ This particular sketch deals with saying a blessing over our food.

Who Got Game?

Director’s Notes: I always liked the Screwtape Letters by C.S.Lewis where 2 demons converse throughout the book, giving us a glimpse of how the enemy might work on us.

Morning Madness

Director’s Notes: We know there are certain facts when it comes to how God uses his people within the church: 1) The Spirit gives unique spiritual gifts to believers. 2) The Spirit leads believers to use these gifts within (and outside of) the church.

The Bigger They Are

Director’s Notes: Pastor Ray was preaching from the book of Nehemiah and talking about how Nehemiah saw the seemingly impossible task ahead of him (rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem) but knew that with God’s help, it could be done.
