Hebrews

Hebrews 2:18
FIRST CAR
Kurt and Bob are high school seniors looking at used cars. Kurt is intent on buying his first car; Bob would rather just look. Then they meet the slick salesman. By the end of the sketch, Kurt is driving a car off the lot. This script has been used to open discussions with youth groups on drugs and other temptations teens face. On the surface, the sketch is about buying a car, but teens will relate to the message that temptation is all around them..

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.

Hebrews 4:12-13
MIRROR, MIRROR
Taken from James 1:21-25, this sketch is meant to illustrate one function of the Bible: Like a mirror, it reflects back to us our imperfections and our need for cleansing. However, there are many different responses to God's Word and its reflective powers, as is portrayed humorously, yet vividly, in this sketch.

Hebrews 4:14-16
HIGH SPEED GRACE

Hebrews 4:14-16

Hebrews 6:4-6

SMOOTH SAILING
John examines his life from age 16 through 65. At each age, he experiences pressure and looks forward to the next stage of his life which he thinks will bring "smooth sailing."

SHELTERED BY LOVE
