Most of us have heard somewhere or other that you can’t be too careful with your health and I agree. But in reality, it is possible to neglect the spiritual needs of our souls. This will leave us vulnerable to some harmful temptations, which in turn leads to a life filled with low self-esteem, depression and drug abuse. To counter this unhealthy behaviour, we need inspirational Christian drama scripts that help us overcome our problems by teaching us how to love ourselves, others and God.

Short Dramas For Church

No, I’m not talking about the 20 minute-long dramas that are popular on television. I’m talking about short movies for church. Short movies for church are those 22-48 minute movies that took a team of skilled filmmakers to create. The most important thing to have in mind when thinking about making a short film for church is that it’s not for everyone and it’s not just for churches either. A lot of times, people think they can make a short film for church and then convert to Christianity afterwards, but this is not always the case. So really, yes, you still have to be an overall nice person even if you’re a self proclaimed atheist or agnostic because this is supposed to be a non-aggressive activity. But don’t worry; we’ll let the scripts speak for themselves!

The church is a building, but it’s not just a building; it’s also a community. A place where people come to be reminded of who they should be. A place where important values are shared and feelings are expressed. If you’re going to write about the church for a short film, I’ve provided some suggestions on what you may want to include in your project…

Excerpt (Sample)
This is a sample from the middle of the skit.

Sarah, a teenage girl or younger enters the ring.  Satan notices her.

Satan:              (nodding his head in Sarah’s direction) You want to try again?

Deceiver:         Oh yeah!  This one will be easier than the last.

Satan:              Remember,

Deceiver:         I know, hit below the belt.

Satan:              You’re the best!

Deceiver and Sarah come to the center of the ring. Sarah looks nervous.  Bell rings

 to start fight.

Deceiver:         (mocking Sarah) What’s the matter little girl?  Are you going to cry?

Sarah:             (not convincingly) No.

Deceiver:         Are you sure?  Cause your mommy isn’t here to protect you.  It’s just you and me! (punches her in the face)

Sarah staggers back

Deceiver:         (to Satan) This is going to be even easier than I thought!

Deceiver and Satan laugh wickedly

Sarah:             (cries out) Jesus help me!

Jesus enters the ring and puts both hands on her shoulders

Satan:              (stops laughing as soon as he sees Jesus) Uh-oh!

Deceiver:         What’s the matter? (looks at Jesus, speaks to Satan) Who’s that?

Satan:              That’s trouble.  I better take over from here.

Deceiver:         No way! I can take him.  I can take ‘em both!

Satan:              No.  This guy is gonna be more challenging.  It requires someone with more experience.

Deceiver:         (getting angry) I said, I’ve got it covered! Now, beat it!

Satan:              (gives her a sweeping bow) By all means, be my guest.

Satan goes back to his corner. 

Deceiver:         Now, where was I?  Oh yeah, I was giving you a beating.  Ready for more? Or do you give up now?

Jesus:             (he takes his hands from her shoulders but continues to stand right behind  Sarah) You can do this, Sarah.  I’m right here. I’m not going to let anything happen to you.

Sarah:             (to Deceiver) I’m ready.  (she gets in fight position)

Deceiver:         You’re worthless.  You’re a nobody.  (she swings but Sarah dodges out of the way—Deceiver is extremely shocked)

Sarah:             I’m a child of the King! And that makes me somebody!  (she punches hard and Deceiver falls on the floor, stunned) I’m special!

Voice:              (from off stage) One..two..

Satan goes to Deceiver

Deceiver:         (still shocked) She hit me.

Satan:              I tried to tell you.

Deceiver:         But she’s just a little girl.

Satan:              It’s not her; it’s HIM.  I’ve dealt with him before.

Voice:              Six…seven…

Deceiver:         (gets up weakly, still in a daze) I can’t believe she hit me.

Satan:              I better take this one.

Deceiver, wobbly, goes to her corner

Satan:              (looking at Jesus) Never send a woman to do a man’s job.

Sarah:              Bring it!
