Five Essentials for Standing Strong

Part 2 - **Dig Into the Bible** (Teen Leaders: Jordan W, Travis N, Paul H ) The Parable of the Net - [|Matthew 13]:47-52 (focus on v. 52)

 Setting : apartment

 Characters : owner, and owner's friend

 Brief Summary : Friend comes over to owner's apartment and starts looking at his things and discovers the owners confirmation certificate and Bible. Owner explains to his friend about the Bible and how he should dig into the Bible instead of focusing on the new things.  The scene should be two minutes in length focused on the parable and tied back to the theme of Standing Strong.

Friend knocks on door and owners answers.

F: Hey___! Thanks for having me over. NO WAY!?! You have a (prop).

O: Hey be careful with that. (Sets it down carefully).

F: (Runs to other side of room) A (prop). You gotta be kidding me. They stopped making these.

O: Ya I know. Don't break it. Gimme that. (Lovingly puts away) Here come over to the kitchen. You want something to drink?

F: Fine. Ya I'll have a soda. You got Dr. Pepper.

O: Here. Thanks for coming over.

F: No problem. Dude, you have a lot of cool stuff. What's that on the table? (Walks over and picks it up) A Bible? Do you actually read this thing? It's so boring with all the laws and commandments.

O: Let me guess. One day you decided to open the Bible up and start reading. And, I'm guessing you read Leviticus or Numbers. You know there's a lot of good stories and lessons in here.

F: Ok name three.

O: Well there's the classics. What about Adam and Eve where a talking snake tricks perfect humans into sinning? and then there was God's promise to save mankind to Abraham after he stopped him from killing his kid. A third one? how about Jesus? I mean he's God's son and he came and died for you.

F: Wow. I guess I should take another look into the Bible. Maybe I underestimated it. -Ending could be better. Ad lib.-
