Skits for Your Church Drama Team
This hugely popular skit is guaranteed to produce laughter every time it's performed. This skit demonstrates good Christian behavior and bad Christian behavior as a Christian succeeds and fails at showing their neighbor love in hilarious ways.
John 13:35
SHAY, MESHA, & ABBEY
Three friends show up at a giant party to discover they're being asked to sin against God. If they don't go with the crowd it could cost them their lives! This funny retelling of the story of Shadrack, Meshack, and Abednego hits the issue of trusting God.
Daniel 3
GO TO CHURCH, READ YOUR BIBLE, PRAY
"The answer to any question any youth leader asks!" That's the product Music-Man's-Harold-Hill-like salesman who sneaks into your youth ministry is selling. This upbeat comedic skit will have your youth and youth leaders rolling with laughter. Great for teaching about knowing the answers versus practicing them. This skit may also challenge your fellow youth leaders to dig deeper than standard "church questions" with your youth.
YOUR FAITH IS SO WEAK
It's time for a “your faith is so weak, full of faith, in yo’ face smack down!" This skit draws audience participation as contestants from different churches compete in a "yo' mama joke" style battle, putting down each other's faith. An angel has to show up to set things right. This skit drives home themes of unity and what it really means to be a Christian while delivering outrageous comedy.
1 Corinthians 3
CAN’T BUY ME HOPE (Shop Skit Part 1)
This skit works great on its own or in conjuction with Can't Buy Me Peace. Albert's Pawn Shop sells anything and everything, but when a customer comes in looking for hope it turns out there are some things that just can't be bought.
People are looking for hope in all the wrong places. True and lasting hope can only be found in Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 1:3
CAN’T BUY ME PEACE (Shop Skit Part 2)
This skit partners beautifully with Can't Buy Me Hope or works great on its own. Albert's Pawn Shop can sell anything and everything except peace. When a customer comes searching for peace in his life, he finds a clerk who isn't interested in hearing about his problems, just selling him junk. If you're looking for peace, you'll find it in the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ.
John 14:27
HOLLYWOOD FAITH
This incredibly funny and popular skit takes your youth inside the board room of a movie studio as its executive holds a pitch meeting. The wacky staff are ready to pitch the same old movies Hollywood makes again and again, but one producer has exciting pitches that stand out. The great stand-out stories are from the Bible. This skit is great for encouraging your youth to read the Bible.
2 Samuel
METHODOLIZATIONS
This skit outrageously explores how to fulfill the Great Commission. Caution: You may get wet performing this skit or you may get drenched performing this skit.
Matthew 28:18-20, Romans 8:38-39, 1 Corinthians 9:19-22
VILLAIN SUPPORT GROUP
An immensely popular series we did at Oasis Youth was one called Villains of the Bible. This skit brings together different villains from throughout the Bible in an AA like support group. There's much to be learned from the intriguing foes Biblical heroes faced and this skit is a hilarious and thought provoking way to approach them. This skit also hits on themes of self esteem and purpose--two hugely important topics in youth ministry.
Genesis, Judges, 1 Samuel, Esther, Matthew
NACHOS
Every youth ministry talks about the subject of sex and purity eventually. This skit is perfect for breaking the ice on the subject. At Oasis Youth, we have a series every year called Sex and Nachos where we eat nachos and talk about sex. This skit is guaranteed to get the attention of your youth and is easy to transition into what the world says about sex versus Biblical principles regarding sex at a Sex and Nachos event, service, or series of your own. Also a great skit for addressing the topic of peer pressure and the funniest skit Jared has ever written according to his wife
1 Corinthians 15:33, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
LIKE JESUS
This unforgettable skit contributed to the title of the book as it opens on a character with a sheep stuffed animal named Bobo over his shoulders. It's a laugh out loud skit for your youth ministry that will powerfully help you dispel common misperceptions of Christ and present true character of Jesus Christ.
