ERINIE'S PLACE
In this farce, Ed and Martha go to ludicrous lengths to avoid being the one to make the choice about what to have for dinner.

Galatians 4:3–5
IF ONLY IT WERE TRUE
Alan wraps his Christmas presents while discussing the transitory nature of Christmas. The season is all well and good to foster temporary good will, but the feelings don't last. They aren't real, just as the manger isn't real or so Alan thinks.

Galatians 5:1
TRAPPED
Three believers struggle with feelings of bondage to material concerns, obsessive thoughts and Internet pornography.

Galatians 5:1,13

Thomas Jefferson struggles with self-confidence as he pens the famous Declaration of Independence.

Galatians 5:16
THE RIGHT THING
Doing the right thing is often difficult, but especially if the moral and ethical choices are seemingly insignificant. Yet, being faithful in small matters is as important as being faithful in the big issues.    

Galatians 5:22;
BEARLY THERE
Three men arrive late to church and find that others have occupied their customary seats. As they determine what to do, they confront attitudes that are less than Christlike.

Galatians 6
TOGETHER ALL ALONE
Why do we tend to pull away from others when we need them the most? Why is it hard to admit need? What's the difference between self-sufficiency and good old determination? This sketch examines a father's tendency to suppress the pain of a bad situation and pull away from both those he needs and those who need him.

Galatians 6:1
WHAT TO DO WITH THE WOUNDED
Two believers discuss what they should do when they encounter a believer who has sinned.

Galatians 6:2
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.

Galatians 6:2
MY BURDEN HAS BEEN LIFTED
This script can be performed easily by two actors (with one playing seven parts), or by a cast of eight. In this sketch we meet Joe, a new Christian. He is confronted by a barrage of well-meaning Christians who each have their own take on what Joe has to do to "really" be a Christian. This humorous sketch gets the audience laughing while making an important point..

Galatians 6:4, 5
EXCUSES
A man on a job interview explains why his lackluster resume is everyone’s fault but his own.

Galatians 6:7-10
A CRACK IN THE NEST EGG
Retirement is a dangerous concept. In pursuit of a comfortable post-work life, many people forget that planning "expire-ment" is important, too. This sketch illustrates the need to focus more on the perspectives from eternity than on the myopic distortions of this life alone.

Galatians 6:7-10
DOWN WITH THE PHAT ICE
Everyone knows a Mr. Kinks-one of those youth leaders or teachers who thinks he's in touch with the language and culture of the youth, but who is so far out of touch it's almost humorous. In this sketch, Mr. Kinks really thinks he's communicating with Cindy, but Cindy soon realizes she's not getting through to Mr. Kinks at all. This script works well with a combined audience of youth and adults as a lighthearted way for the adults to poke fun at themselves for failed attempts to connect with youth. It can also be used to open a more serious discussion on the difficulties of inter-generational communication.

Galatians 6:9
BOTTOM OF THE FIRST
A baseball coach must convince his team not to give up in the big game when they find themselves down after the first half of the first inning

Galatians 6:10
HOUSE AND HOME
This fast-moving and light-hearted overview is a plan on the ways we use the words “house” and “home.” It gradually becomes more serious as the readers explore the biblical metaphor of “home” as the dwelling place of God with the church being a “spiritual house,” etc.

Galatians 6:10
THE INTROSPECTIVE SAMARITAN
A well-meaning Samaritan finds every reason not to actually stop and help.  Afraid that assistance would attract too much sinful attention, the man decides to be humble and move on down the road.
