This "dream play" explains the reason for God becoming man in the form of Jesus Christ: to speak His truth to us Himself, and to take the punishment that was intended for us so that we may have fellowship with Him in eternity. In the simple story of a heart-broken little girl, searching for her lost hamsters, we see the "Heart of God." -
In this skit, Joe learns a lesson in leadership skills: getting the diverse members of "the body of Christ" to work together. He would rather use a few men than include the inept volunteers on his building project team; his servant leadership grows. (Second of three skits; can stand alone.) -
Harvey, Tina, Clem and Zelda get ready for the visit of "The Bride of Christ," not knowing that they are "The Bride of Christ." Pastor Rufus explains that the Church is the bride of Christ. Christians are like bridesmaids for each other in that we prepare each other for the groom, Jesus. -
This "Choral Reading" is a particularly effective as a way to present the scripture reading of Ephesians 4: 4-7, 11-16, celebrating the "The Body of Christ" working together. It is a captivating opening for a sermon on God's plan for His human family to help each other grow spiritually. -

"Idol worship" is the topic of this "Skermon" (skit/sermon). Worship of pleasure, possessions, and status set the stage for the pastor to present a 3-part sermon; one part after each vignette illustrating 1John 2:16,17: the "lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life." -
Harvey is very unhappy when his new fishing pole turns out to be broken, but he learns that "joy" means having hope that something wonderful will happen. Tina is disappointed because she can't wear her new dress to the Mother-Daughter Tea with her mom. She learns that "patience" is waiting for things to happen. Pastor Rufus tells the story of Peter's "joy" in the Lord, and the "patience" of the early church as they prayed for Peter's release in Acts 12:5-17. -
This Readers Theater skit is a retelling of the "Raising of Lazarus," proclaiming a message of hope that Jesus has power over death and those who hear His call will resurrect from the dead.
