Box O'Jesus
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Feb 06, 2010
| | A drama about walking the walk. Director's Notes:
As I mentioned earlier, you can alter many of my existing dramas to work with a new subject. With that in mind, I decided to alter 'The Attic' to focus on why how people know that we are Christians. When you hear the old song 'They will know we are Christians by our love...' what does that mean to you? How do we show others that we are Christians? Although no one has a literal 'Box O' Jesus' where they keep evidence of their faith, many people show their relationship with God based on stuff ather than how th...read more |
What's Not To Love
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Feb 01, 2010
| | A drama about Humility. Director's Notes:
In Matthew, Jesus rebukes the Pharasees for showing and proclaiming their good deeds in public rather than be rewarded by their Father in heaven in secret. For many Christians it's easy to do something good but hard to not want to be recognized for it. We need to realize that God delights in our faithfulness to Him and our kindness to others. If others notice the work, then praise God. If they don't then praise God for He notices and that's what really matters...

If You Build It...
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Jan 27, 2010
| | A drama about building God's house - our lives. Director's Notes:
I was recently asked by a good brother in Montana to write a drama that took a concept from the book of Haggai that our own lives and bodies are God's house and what are we doing to build it? After a couple of emails, we decided that I should take a drama that I had already written (If you build it...) and alter it to fit his needs.
This is a good example of things that you can do with the dramas on this site. Look for similar themes and change around the situation a bit to suit your needs. ...read more |
The Tent
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Jan 21, 2010
| | . Director's Notes:The drama is, admittedly, light. I just wanted to write something funny and to introduce the subject matter before the pastor got up to speak.

Tom: A man who doesn't trust God enough
Beth: Tom's wife

82 Questions
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Jan 18, 2010
| | A drama about dealing with anxiety. Director's Notes:
Anxiety and worry can incapacitate us. If we don't trust that the Father will provide and care for us, we can literally worry ourselves to a spiritual death. I don't know about you, but sometimes when I go to bed, even though I'm physically exhausted, I won't be able to fall asleep because a million anxious thoughts are bouncing around inside my head. I decided to write this drama based on that where every sentence was a question.
Like many dramas I've written, the dialogue takes place inside the...read more |
God's Will?
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Jan 12, 2010
| | Using God's name inappropriately. Director's Notes:
Using God's name 'in vain' is more than merely using it followed by an expletive. As Christians, we can use it inappropriately when we convieniently use Him as an excuse to get out of an uncomfortable situation. Unfortunately, I can remember a few times, in my younger years, when I broke up with a girl because "God didn't want us to date" or "He wants me to be unattached for a while." Was this God's will? No - I just wanted out of the relationship.

Mr. Smith Goes to Jerusalem
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Jan 07, 2010
| | A drama about Easter and understanding the tomb. Director's Notes:
"Easter. So What? What does it mean to me today?"
Perhaps someone you know has asked you these very questions. Many people don't
understand what the empty tomb means to them. Of course, it means that Jesus is alive
and we now have hope for an eternity with Him. It also means that the same Jesus who
had power over death has the same power to transform our lives.
The family in this drama learns the hard way that they haven't taken the time to think
about what th...read more |
The Question
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Dec 09, 2009
| | A drama about Evangelism. Director's Notes:
Ray did a series on how to invite people to an event we have called Friend Day. Basically, it comes down to the fact that most of us are nervous/scared/worried about inviting people to church for fear of rejection.
This drama uses a tape with voice over on it. Basically, everything in parenthesis is what Mark is thinking...)

Mark: A Christian
John: Mark's non-Christian friend

The Super Highway To Heaven
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Dec 07, 2009
| | A drama about Evangelism. Director's Notes: Let's face it - telling others about Christ isn't easy but it's what we're called to do. There are ways to evangelize (Sharing our testimony, walking the walk, following the promptings of the Spirit, looking for opportunities to share and care, etc.) and ways we shouldn't. This drama is one of the latter... (In my humble opinion, of course!)
Cast:
Isabelle: A girl
Dave: A guy
Props:
A laptop computer
Achair
Setting:
Somewhere in the house (doesn't matter)

The Business of Deception
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Dec 01, 2009
| | A drama about how Satan undermines our lives and decieves us. Director's Notes:
This was written originally to talk about how Satan especially targets leadership. I was deeply influenced by C.S. Lewis' book 'The Screwtape Letters' where Lewis gave us an insightful glimpse into the mind of 'blue-color demons' and how they go about decieving us in some of the most subtle ways...

Satan: He's running 'Deception Central' from his office
Demon #1: He's a deceptor in training
Demon #2: Ditto
