  • Nintendo Gospel

    My Favorite Skit! This is a funny skits that talks about giving over the controls of your life to God. It uses the idea of a kid playing a video game to point out how we should let God be in charge.

  • The "Relationship"

    This is a funny skit that uses the relationship of a girl and her boyfriend to mirror the silly way that some of us interact with God. Possible points: need for quiet time, need for Bible reading, etc.

  • Some Love

    This sketch written by Jason Luker and inspired by the Prayer Chain song of the same name is by far the most powerful and at the same time possibly controversial skit in this selection. If you need a script that talks about loving people no matter where they are in their lives. Then this is the skit for you.

  • Roman Road to the Vault

    One of the hardest topics to write scripts about is salvation. This skit handles all of the basics of accepting Christ and does it in a way that is relatively funny.

  • Useless Tools

    On job of the church is to equip its members for ministry. This skit pokes fun at a carpenter who has had zero training trying to help people and parallels it with Christians without any training trying to minister in today's world. If you are talking about discipleship this is the skit for you.

  • What's Jesus Doing in Your Life

    Many Christians use their salvation just as some sort of "fire insurance" to save them from hell. This skit challenges them to get Jesus out of a corner of their hearts and get Him into their lives.

  • A Bread and Water Feast

    God was beginning to move in our church and people were getting content. We wanted to use this skit to encourage people to take the next step of faith, even if it wasn’t practical and trust that God has even more planned for us. He did not bring us out this far to take us back again. He brought us out to lead us into the promise land

  • Weak and Flabby Friendships

    Alright this skit really just works as a discussion started for building Christian friendships. You may not find it helpful, but I just love the "A Few Good Men" reference.
  • Dear Mr. President

    This skit deals with God's desire to have a relationship with us. So many people see prayer as just a way to ask things of God or some sort of ritual. You can use this skit to show His desire to relate to us through prayer.

  • Lonely

    This skit comes from a collaborative effort of the drama track at Centrifuge one year. If someone else has copyrights to the idea please let me know. I know that we have written all of the monologues and have refined them over many countless performances. In this skit we try to show a typical party scene where everyone is searching for something to take away loneliness, even the Christian. The skit resolves with the idea still up in the air a bit, but with the Christian asking God to send her out to reach her lonely friends.

  • Masks

    This skit is about the masks that Christians wear to hide from other people. It shows the typical after church scene and what some Christians are really thinking. The biblical point has Jesus calling the Pharisees "whitewashed tombs" and will hit home with the two faced among us.

  • Bag Minds

    This skit runs along the same lines as masks. It involves boys putting on a Good little Christian Boy face in front of their pastor and Sunday school teacher, but when Jesus walks up one of the boys can't keep up the act.

  • Waiting for God's Response

    This is a skit version of a very old joke. A man drowns in a flood after he turns down a ride from a cow, a boat, and a helicopter because he is waiting for God to answer his prayer. It is pretty silly so it doesn't really need a whole lot of practice. Just grab a few students out of your group and have fun with it.

  • Sports Center Gospel

    A humorous and serious skit that point people toward salvation. The plot is two guys watching Sports Center get into a conversation about Jesus. Additional Material: This also deals with the affect of an abortion on the father.
  • Does He

    Five short monologues adapted from an idea by Max Lucado. Does God love me even when I don't love myself. Even when I'm unlovable?

  • Worth Something

    A series of monologues about the ways that different students deal with their desire to feel good about themselves. I taught a series on Self-Worth and this was the lesson about basing your self worth on your performance.

  • Why God

    This skit was done at the year anniversary to 9/11. With just a little modification on the third part it could be used for almost any tragedy. The skit itself doesn't answer the why questions. We went on to talk about how we may not always know the why, but we can always know that God is good.

  • It's Just a Little Tumor

    Of course if you have a tumor on your heart you will want to get it cut out. This skit depicts a doctor telling someone that they don't need the surgery, just a shot for the pain. We used this skit to talk about how the church has watered down the gospel and said that people don't need Jesus they only need to come to church.

  • Creation Prayer Sketch

    I don't know if there is a more overdone skit than someone praying with a "god-voice" being read from offstage. I hate to add to the pile, but I like this skit. Someone emailed me looking for a skit about creation or about divorce, I can't really remember. But this skit is the result. It uses Genesis 1 as an overlay to a young girls prayer. As the girl prays for a miracle the verses remind her that God's miracles are all around us.

  • Humility in Practice

    This is a silly little sketch that shows 3 examples of false humility and one example of true humility. It is cheesy to the core, but it is easy to do and it might be a good tie in for a lesson on Christian Humility.

  • Christmas Jesus v Easter Jesus
