Morning Madness
By Dave Marsh - Drama - March 09, 2010
| | A drama about Serving in the Church. 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 problem is that sometimes we see a need in the church and feel compelled to fill it immediately. While this can be a good thing for short term situations (a family needs money), it can be a bad thing for long term situations, especially if we don'...read more |
The Bigger They Are
By Dave Marsh - Drama - March 05, 2010
| | A drama about overcoming Obstacles. 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. So many times, we look at our own obstacles (whether it be some huge circumstance or a reoccuring sin we are unable to shake) from every perspective but God's. He may very well bring people our way who can help us but until we go to Him first, it's fruitless...

What Little Children!?
By Dave Marsh - Drama - March 01, 2010
| | . Director's Notes: Baby Day. When the church announces that this day is coming up, I shudder. They want a drama and it's supposed to be about little kids. Not my specialty. So, when the pastor told me his text was out of Matthew where Jesus blesses the little kids, I had a tough time coming up with something funny.
But then I remembered Peanuts! I always liked how the kids thought like adults. So, I hope you like this one :)
Note, the kids can use the script though out the drama - which is good since the parts are really for kids under 10...

Sheep
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Feb 24, 2010
| | A drama about God pursuing the lost. Director's Notes:
God pursues lost people with a vengence. He cares about us so much that He will passionately seek us out to bring us home. This drama shows the difference between how God might pursue us (Donna) and how we humans normally view the lost (Jim).
Cast:
Donna: A good shepherd
Jimmy: A not-so-good shepherd
Props:
2 staffs (staves?)
A laptop computer
a bag (to hold the laptop)
A picture of a field (projected behind them if possible)

Family Night Live
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Feb 16, 2010
| | A drama about the identity of God. Director's Notes:
I wrote this drama in hopes of showing the myths that some people have about God. They think that:
A) He is either not interested in us any longer
B) He is a taskmaster that cares more about dos and dont's
C) He is a kindly old man who merely wants us to believe in Him
Of course, God wants to be friends with us. And as we develop that friendship with Him we desire to do things that please Him and refrain from that which hurts our relationship...

G.O.D.
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Feb 11, 2010
| | A drama about making tough choices. Director's Notes:
There are some choices in life that are easy to make and some, like following Christ, that are difficult. I wrote this drama to illustrate the fact that following Christ is a yes/no deal. Either you decide to or not. There are no other choices, no middle ground.
Cast:
Dave: A college student taking a test
Teacher: This is either live or taped. The voice must sound like Charlie Brown's
teacher.
Props:
Table/desk
Paper (script)

Box O'Jesus
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Feb 06, 2010
| | A drama about walking the walk. Director's Notes:
As I mentioned earlier, you can alter many of my existing dramas to work with a new subject. With that in mind, I decided to alter 'The Attic' to focus on why how people know that we are Christians. When you hear the old song 'They will know we are Christians by our love...' what does that mean to you? How do we show others that we are Christians? Although no one has a literal 'Box O' Jesus' where they keep evidence of their faith, many people show their relationship with God based on stuff ather than how th...read more |
What's Not To Love
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Feb 01, 2010
| | A drama about Humility. Director's Notes:
In Matthew, Jesus rebukes the Pharasees for showing and proclaiming their good deeds in public rather than be rewarded by their Father in heaven in secret. For many Christians it's easy to do something good but hard to not want to be recognized for it. We need to realize that God delights in our faithfulness to Him and our kindness to others. If others notice the work, then praise God. If they don't then praise God for He notices and that's what really matters...

If You Build It...
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Jan 27, 2010
| | A drama about building God's house - our lives. Director's Notes:
I was recently asked by a good brother in Montana to write a drama that took a concept from the book of Haggai that our own lives and bodies are God's house and what are we doing to build it? After a couple of emails, we decided that I should take a drama that I had already written (If you build it...) and alter it to fit his needs.
This is a good example of things that you can do with the dramas on this site. Look for similar themes and change around the situation a bit to suit your needs. ...read more |
The Tent
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Jan 21, 2010
| | . Director's Notes:The drama is, admittedly, light. I just wanted to write something funny and to introduce the subject matter before the pastor got up to speak.
Cast:
Tom: A man who doesn't trust God enough
Beth: Tom's wife
