For this skit, you'll need only two people, and we'll Use Skip and nancy again....
Skip: "What's wrong, Nancy? You look so depressed!"
Nancy (looking sad): "I'm never going to get this Christian thing right, Skip!"
Skip (sitting down beside of Nancy): "I don't understand - what do you mean?"
Nancy: "Well, there are so many rules! When there were only 10 commandments, it was easier. But have you READ the book of Levitucus? And then there are all the letters to the churches, do this, don't do that..."Skip(looking earnestly at Nancy):"Nancy, who died for you ?"
Nancy:"Jesus did."
Skip: "Romans 8 tells us to walk in the Spirit, and we won't fulfil the lusts of the flesh...and that if we walk in the Spirit, the Spirit makes us free from the law of sin and death! In 1st Peter we are told that the law is not made for the righteous, but for people who do evil."
Nancy:"so we ignore the law?"
Skip: "No, the law is great so long as we use it right. It's not there to condemn us, but as a guide."
Skip quotes:"The life that I now live I live by the grace of the Son of God, Jesus, who loves me and gave Himself for me."
Skip, smiling at Nancy, says:"Get to know Jesus better every day...talk to Him, ask Him questions, and listen - He will speak to your spirit."

October 8th,2007
For this skit, you'll need three people; lets call them Skip and Nancy...and the prop person...
Skip: How you doing, Nan?
prop person stands behind Nancy and pushes down on her shoulders.
Nancy:I feel so heavy all the time - like I'm carrying a terrible weight!
(prop man smiles at audience)
Skip: Remember what Matthew 11:28 says - "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Jesus wants you to have REST, Nancy!
(prop man gets nervous - signals 'no' with his hands and head several times)
Nancy: How do I GO to Him - do I just pray?
Skip:You're NEVER JUST praying, but yeah, that's what you do...wanna pray together?
Nancy:(smiles) That'd be nice.
(as Nancy and Skip pray, the prop man runs away)

In this skit, you need several teens; the number is up to you!

Teen: >curious< "Do you believe in God?"
Teen: >indignant< "Of course I do!"
Others:>Surprise< "Really? How come?"
Teen:"Well, SOMEBODY had to've made all this - and the Bible says the heavens reflect the Glory of God!"
Teen:>looking up< "They're pretty awesome, alright!"
Teen:"I pray - a LOT, cause I got lots of problems - and Jesus seems to place His arms around me and comfort me whenever I need it."
Others:"REALLY?"
Teen:"Yes, really! I think anyone who doesn't know Jesus personally is missing out on SO MUCH!"
Teen:"Can ANYONE come to know Jesus like you know Him?"
Teen: "Sure! Let's pray, and I'll introduce you!"

2/15/2007
For this skit you need several teens - one should be dressed so as to stand out from the rest.
This will be your Whiner.
The other teens will be Bill, Jane, and Carol...

Bill: "Boy, it's a beautiful day!"
Carol and Jane "You got THAT right!"
Whiner: "When I got up this morning, I stubbed my toe, bumped my head on the headboard, and it's been a lousy day ever since!"

Carol: "Maybe you should just start over..."
Jane: "Yeah, you know, forget about the whole morning thing and just enjoy the afternoon."
Whiner: "No - life sucks and then you die!"

Bill: "I thought you were a Christian, man...well, are you or not?"
Whiner: "I asked Jesus into my heart when i was a kid - so?"
Bill: "Maybe that's the problem...how much time have you spent with Jesus since then?"
Whiner: "Huh?"
Jane: "What Bill is trying to say is that walking with Jesus everyday is fun, and Jesus takes the spirit of heaviness away, and gives you a light-hearted, carefree way of looking at life - even when something happens to disappoint you !"

Whiner:"Well...I guess I HAVE been kinda selfish, doing what I want, and stuff...I haven't even read my Bible in YEARS !
>grins and looks around<
"Hey, I'm starting to feel better already !"
"Let's pray!"

For this skit, you will need 1 OLD person, and as few or many young people as want to participate.

Have the "old person" (anyone from thirty and up will do)
sit in a chair in the middle of the group, and surround them with the young people.

Old person:
"Does anyone else have any questions about the Bible?"

Teen:"I do - how long have you studied the Bible?"

O.P."Since I was your age..."

Teen:>eyes popping< "WOW!"

Teen:"So you've studied the Bible a long time?"

O.P."Yes, but more important than that, I've walked and talked with Jesus a very long time."

Teen "I don't understand."

O.P. "You get to know someone by spending TIME with them...by talking, asking questions, and just listening to them."

Teen: "Like we're doing now."

O.P. "That's right! But I didn't die for you..."

Teen: "Jesus did!"

O.P. "That's right! And He wants to have a relationship with you - all you have to do is seek him with all your heart!"

Teen: "So if I pray with all my heart, and ask Jesus to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour, He will?"

O.P. "That's right...a lot of people know ABOUT Jesus, but not all of them have asked Him into their hearts. Let's read John chapter 3..."

John 3:1-5;16-20 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.... For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

Teen: "Can we pray and do that now?"

O.P. (excited) "Sure!"

Prayer (by O.P.)
"Lord Jesus - forgive us for our sins, and come into our hearts now, and let us be born again, new creatures, just like You talked about in John chapter three...and be our Lord, as well as our Saviour. In Your Name we ask it, Lord Jesus, amen."

End with a group hug or something similar.

For this skit, all you will need is something to simulate a fence - you may want to use a wide piece of tape - put it up in full view of your audience...at least three persons will be required, but you may use as many as you like!
We'll use Bill, Jane, and Carol:

Bill steps forward, facing the audience, and stands so that his feet are on both sides of the tape.
Jane and Carol walk out and greet him.

Jane and Carol: "Hello, Bill!"

Bill:"Hi girls!"

Jane:"You going to the party Saturday?"

Bill:"You mean at Susan's? You bet!"

Carol:Bill, I thought you went to church - there's going to be drinking at that party!"

Bill: " Oh, I won't go then - I was just kidding!"

Jane:"But I really WANTED to go there with you, Bill!"

Bill:"We can go - we just won't drink!"

Carol:"Bill, you should be ashamed - the Bible says we should shun even the APPEARANCE of evil!"

Bill:>hangs head< "You're right, of course - I won't go!"

Jane:"Who do you care about more, Bill - me or Carol?"

Bill stands there and looks at both girls in confusion, as they ask again:

Jane and Carol:"Yes, Bill - who DO you care the most about?"

At this point there are several possible endings: you may continue asking questions to point out Bill's habit of straddling the fence...you know, being a hypocrite! OR you might want to have Satan walk up to the podium and say:

Satan:"I LOVE these kinds of people - NO dedication whatever! I can lead them to hell SO EASILY..."

OR:

Jesus could walk up instead, and quote the scripture from Revelations...

Jesus:" I wish you were cold or hot, but since you are lukewarm I will spue you out of my mouth."

Here's one I saw years ago - it was "mimed" but really got the point across.
It requires a boy and a girl, about the same age...
Both boy and girl stand facing each other; the girl smiles...the boy smiles back. They continue looking at each other smiling and winking, etc., until the boy touches his heart, pretends to take it out, and offers it to the girl:
the girl plays with it awhile, tossing it into the air, etc., as the boy watches fascinated.
Then, all of a sudden, she throws it down, an angry look on her face, and stomps it!
The boy falls to his knees and begins to pick up the pieces...take a little time to emphasize his hurt.
REPEAT the above...let them make up, or use another girl.

NOTE: You may reverse the roles and be just as effective, if not more so!

End the skit however you choose...the purpose is to emphasize the hurt playing with someone's affections can cause - and how easily someone could be hurt!

This skit needs a little preparation, and some props...
You'll need a screen, large enough to change clothes behind, a white robe, a dingy robe, and a black robe. Three people (at least) will be needed.
We'll go with Bill, Jane, and Carol; you may want to add a fourth, Satan...it's up to you.
Each character should have on LARGE name tags - it makes them easily identifiable to the audience - and they'll relate better that way.
Bill should be dressed in the white robe...

Bill to Carol:" I feel great! I just got saved - and feel like a new person!"
Carol: "You look different. I guess going to Jane's party this weekend is out of the question?"
Bill:"I don't know - I hadn't really thought about it."

Both Bill and Carol walk behind the screen; Bill removes the white robe and puts on the dingy one, and a sad face, then reemerges.
Carol walks out to him.

Carol: "Hi Bill! you look different, somehow."
Bill: "Yeah - I don't feel very good - I went to Jane's party ."
Jane walks up. "Hi Bill! That party was something, wasn't it?"

You may or may not want Satan to accompany Jane.

Bill: sounding discouraged. "It was okay."

Jane: "I thought you had fun? I'm having another one soon! You gonna come?"

Bill: "Maybe - I dunno."

All three walk off behind the curtain.

Carol emerges first, and walks around...then Bill and Jane come out, Bill in a black robe, the Satan character with them, if you like.

Carol: "Bill! You've really changed!"

Bill:(rudely) "What I do is none of your business, Carol!"

Carol: "Hey -"

Jane: (interrupts) "We're together now - so back off, Carol!"

Satan: (if used) hisses: "Yesss - we're together!"

All the characters but Carol walk offstage.
Carol walks to the podium, taking the mike in hand, and reads:
Carol:" 2Peter 2:20-22 - For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire."

End skit.

This next skit calls for four people, Bill, Jane, Carol, and the Holy Spirit.
Each should have on name tags - these can be made by your Sunday School classes, and should be large enough to be easily seen by the audience. I suggest 3” by 10”, in various colors.

In this skit, Bill and Jane are friends…they are talking together, ignoring Carol, a new girl. The Holy Spirit is standing behind Carol, who is about 8 feet from Bill and Jane.

Bill: I just LOVE this time of year! School is out, the weather is great, and the girls - WOW!”

Jane: I know what you mean - all these guys in shorts and t-shirts - and all of them wanting to date ME!

Bill: >Laughs< “All of them?”

Jane: “Well, not all of them - but I HAVE been asked out by several new guys! >whispers< Who’s the new girl?”
Carol smiles uncertainly.
Bill: “How should I know? I haven’t even spoken to her!”

Jane: “I guess she’s new - I’ve never seen her before!”
The Holy Spirit bends over towards Carol, whispers in her ear, and Carol walks over.
Carol: “Hi!”
Jane and Bill look uncertain.
Bill and Jane answer together: “Hi.”

Carol: ”I’m new here - just moved from California. I haven’t had much time to make new friends yet, and thought maybe you two could show me around.”

Bill: “California? Really? THAT’S wild! Can you surf?”

Carol: “Sure!”

Jane: “I bet there’s lotsa guys there - do you miss your boyfriend?”

Carol: Looks at the floor, then back up again. “I didn’t have a boyfriend.”

Bill and Jane: “You’re kidding!”

Jane: “Wait’ll I show you around - every guy here’ll wanta meet you.”
Carol smiles, then puts a hand on Jane and Bill’s arm as they slo-owly walk away. The Holy Spirit will read this scripture, then join them as they walk offstage.

Holy Spirit:1John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abides in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

After the characters have walked offstage, someone may want to step to the podium and announce: “The Holy Spirit is our Helper, Teacher, Guide, and Comforter - but we must learn to LISTEN TO HIM, and be obedient, if we want to walk in his blessings.”
