TIME TO RAISE YOUR HAND
Christians give humorous but all too familiar excuses for not being involved in church ministry.

Ephesians 4:11-13
THE BOARD
In this techno-electronic-information age, the church sometimes forgets what it's all about. We can get caught up in all the bells and whistles of the new media or try to attract an audience, which is increasingly looking around for the best "show." We have good intentions, and we know what our mission is, but it is easy to forget. This sketch exaggerates in a humorous way the manner in which the church sometimes loses its focus.

THE ENCOURAGER'S CLUB
When people are in difficulty or pain, it's natural to want to offer encouragement. But some problems are not helped by glibly spoken words - and not even by sincerely spoken ones. There are times when there really is nothing we can say that helps another person. Sometimes the only encouragement we can give is to stand by the person while he or she goes through the dark valley. This sketch invites us to think about the sources of true encouragement.

Ephesians 5:21
SWEAT SOCKS OR SWEET SUBMISSIONS
 Submission is a word that freaks many out. But what is it really? It is finding ourselves at a four way stop, all arriving at the same time, and one of us yields the right of way. Jesus yielded his rights so that everyone could win, not so that He could win. In a family, there also needs to be submission; a yielding of rights so that everyone in the family can win. Children yield their desires to the leadership of their parents, husbands yield authority to love their wives and wives yield control to respect their husbands. But as this script reminds us, sometimes we forget when it comes to the little things that irritate us.

I WISH WE COULD TALK
When they first marry, most people picture a perfect relationship. They expect to know and be known on the deepest levels by the partner. They expect to share thoughts, fears, hopes, dreams, ideas, struggles. Too often, however, the grind of life and the perversity of the human heart become barriers to that intimate communication. This sketch illustrates the longing we all have for deeply satisfying relationships - with our spouse - and also with our Creator.
