Trapped in Sin
Jesus is standing off to the side away from the sin (can be done to “Bright Eyes” by Kim Carnes). The girl comes on stage and is trying to choose which direction to go in (the sin or Jesus). After thinking briefly, she starts toward the sin. Her caring friend comes out to try and persuade her to go toward Jesus, but the girl ignores her.
She goes over to the sin and embraces them one by one. When she is finished, she goes back to the first sin and takes his hands and starts dancing in a circle. She is smiling, but the sin has no expression. Quickly, the second sin joins hands in the circle of dancing and then the third, fourth, and fifth.

The Fence
People are sitting on a fence and Jesus and Satan are at opposite ends of the fence. Jesus says, “Come and follow me.” to the first person on the fence. That person asks, “Why should I?”. Satan gives reasons to come with him while Jesus combats Satan with the Word of God and reasons to follow Him. Each person decides one way or the other until they come to the last person, who decides that the fence is comfortable. He chooses not to make a decision either way, to just stay on the fence. Satan then says, “Welcome to Hell, I own the fence.” You can follow this by reading Revelation 3:15 or just stop after the last line.
Characters: Jesus, Satan, four people on the fence

This is the only way to get out of the trap of sin.
Fishers of Men
Theme:
Humorous
Plot of Skit:
Two pairs of people are fishing. Two men are talking knowledgeably, and being very serious about their fishing. Two women are just chattering away and waving at the men, neither serious nor quiet. Then the men catch a fish (a small person who flops around toward the boat with hands flopping on the sides of his face). They throw the fish back because it’s too small. Then the women catch a big fish (big person, same scenario). They are very proud of their catch and keep it. The men are jealous.

The girl is soon thrown in and trapped by the sins. The one who witnessed to her tries to help, but fails.

It is a narrative of a Daddy talking to his boys about what is going on. Daddy is walking with his two boys, talking of the Lamb to be sacrificed. Thief #1 is led to the stage and put on a cross. Thief #2 is led to the stage and put on a cross. Jesus is led down, being kicked, mocked, etc. The Roman soldier gets the father to carry the cross while the boys just watch.

The Race
Jesus stands in one corridor or side of the room and says, “Run toward me with preserving.” In very slow motion, the 3 runners begin running toward Jesus. At first, all three runners are focusing on Jesus, but only the person in the middle is running with a Bible. Satan sends an enticer of the opposite sex to pull one of the runners off course with the temptation of premarital sex. The enticer does this provocatively and leads the runner off course. At that time Satan comes and raps that runner’s ankles with the tape or rope and says, “Now I’ve got you!”
Get In The Game

2 Timothy 4: 5-8

One and Two: Okay, Ready, 1, 2, 3 (Both pull against themselves - the wrong way)
Footwashing
Someone starts out giving a testimony and everyone thinks it is for real. One by one people stand up in the crowd to correct him and his testimony. One says that praise and worship is the only way, another says tithing, another says legalism, another humility, etc. Before long you will have seven to eight people all arguing their perspective of Christ. Christ walks out and one by one acts out footwashing. As each one gets their feet washed, they stop arguing, drop their head and become silent. It ends with the original person still trying to give his testimony. He steps down after Christ washes his feet.
The Boat Ride
This is read by a narrator while the actors act.
Jesus and his disciples had spent a long day of teaching and preaching by the lake and the evening had come. The disciples were tired and hungry. So tired and hungry they could barely stand up. Jesus said, “Men, let’s get in the boat and head for the other side of the lake. There’s a McDonald’s over there.” When the disciples heard this, they jumped up and down with glee, giving each other high fives and hugs. Then they boarded the boat, talking sailor talk.
After they all got on the boat and they were on their way, Jesus found a beautiful cushion and laid his head on it, because he was very tired. He went to sleep immediately. He slept soundly—so soundly he snored.

Listed below is the song and some examples for you to use.
If I weren't a huddle leader, I'll tell you what I'd be.
If I weren't a huddle leader, a ________ I would be.
Does He Still Feel The Nails
Two friends are visiting. The Christian friend tries to persuade the sinner that he needs Christ. The sinner is not ready for that and walks away. (Play the song here.) He runs into one demon at a time who burdens him with a sign (sin) of alcohol, sex, rebellion, etc. He acts confused and weighted down. Then he runs into Satan who calls his demons and they torture the sinner. He calls for help from his friend, but he can’t help and yells, “Only Jesus can help you.” The man being tortured realizes Jesus is the answer and yells “Jesus, I need you.” Jesus comes and slays the demons. Then he takes the sins off one at a time and stands on them and holds the sinner (till the end of the song).
He Is Always With Us
A Christian teen doesn’t want to take Jesus to a wild party, when invited. At first, he says no but he doesn’t resist the temptation. After making a poor decision to go to the party, he ends up regretting the decision when he realizes that Jesus is with him at the party because now that Jesus is in his life, He goes everywhere. At the end of the skit, a couple of his friends, who are obviously Christians are walking by and they see him and say, "Hey, let's get out of here. We really know how to have fun.”
The Champion
