Lesson #1

Drama Skit
So-Called Gods
(Based on Isaiah 14:12-14)

Actors: Two demons (false gods), God, one man, one woman, one child.
Costumes: Each demon is dressed in solid black--black pants, black long sleeved shirt, black gloves, and
black socks with no shoes. No skin should be showing. Everything should be black. Their heads and necks
can be covered with a black stocking cap, or cloth. One will wear the False god #1 mask, the other will wear
the False god #2 mask. God should be dressed in a white flowing gown with a white scarf draped over His
head and shoulders. If you have a white beard, it can be added for greater effect. The man, woman and child
can wear their normal clothing.

Scene I: The man and woman are sitting at the table quietly. The incense, bowl, and matches are on the table but
not being used. No one else is on stage. Suddenly the two demons come flying into the room hollering angrily, and
roll on the floor as though they have just been thrown out of a house. The demons do not see the people, and the
people do not see the demons. The people will stay unaware of them throughout the entire skit, never looking at
them or responding directly to them, until it’s time to worship. For a special effect, turn the lights off in the room
and have spotlights on the actors.

False god #1: Just who does He think He is anyway? (Stands up brushing himself off.)

False god #2: (Shakes his fist toward heaven angrily) You’re gonna pay for this! You’ll see!

False god #1: He can’t treat us like this--throwing us out of heaven the way He did.

False god #2: He just did, stupid! (Stands up and brushes himself off.)

False god #1: Oh, yeah...

False god #2: But He hasn’t seen the last of us yet. (Slams his fist into the palm of his hand angrily, but
hurts himself, and shouts “Ouw!” and shakes his hurting palm.)

False god #1: I don’t know what we can do. After all, at least two thirds of the other angels stayed in
heaven with Him. There’s only a third of us angels that got kicked out! We’re outnum-
bered two to one!

False god #2: (In the face of his friend.) Don’t ever call me an angel again! I don’t want to be identified
with those wimps!

elbows out as he faces the audience.)

False god #2: (Very arrogantly) You can call me GOD!

False god #1: What?! (Laughs hysterically like a chimpanzee might do, bending over holding his stomach
as he howls.)

(The False god #2 with hands still on his hips leans over right in the face of the False god #1 and waits for the
other guy to quit laughing.)

False god #2: I said call me GOD! (Looks up to heaven and shakes his fist to the sky shouting angrily.)
Because I will be greater than the Most High God!

False god #1: (Scrambles nervously to back away from his buddy and gets very serious.) Alright! No
problem! Whatever you say, boss.....but.....who’s going to believe you?

(The False god #2 looks menacingly around the audience, then spies the two people sitting at the table who re-
main oblivious to him as he begins to chuckle and stalks around the table looking at them like a tiger stalking its
prey.)

False god #2: Just watch this! (Standing between them and facing the audience he grabs the table and
shakes it. The humans look at the table then at each other with very wide eyes.)

Man: Did you do that? (Begins to slowly back away from the table.)

Woman: (With a shaky voice) N-no, I-I-I th-thought you d-d-did!

False god #2: This is just too easy!

(He lifts the table into the air as though it is levitating and sets it back, still chuckling as he watches the reaction of
the humans. Both humans panic and jump away from the table shrieking in fear.)

Man: It’s a god!!! No one could have that kind of power unless he was a god! Maybe he’s angry
with us!

Woman: What should we do?

False god #2: (Gets right in the man’s face and screams) Worship me, you fool! Or you’ll be sorry! (He
immediately sits down on the floor with crossed legs, back straight, head looking straight
ahead at the audience, with the palms of his hands facing upwards. He is completely quiet.)

Man: I-I-I think we’re s-s-supposed to w-w-worship h-h-him. (The man and woman immedi-
ately grab the incense, place it at the feet of the demon, light it, then bow down before
him with their faces to the ground. They stay there.)

I’m god!!!

same power as the Most High God does! That’s so cool! Boy, can we have fun with this! When I
tell the other guys, why, they’re all going to want to be gods too!

(Just then a child walks into the room holding God, the Holy Spirit, by the hand. As they enter the lights come on,
and the demons act like they are being blinded by the light. The humans are still unaware of what is happening at
this point.)

False god #1: Oh, no! We weren’t expecting this! It’s a kid and the REAL God! What do we do now, boss?
What if that kid really knows the power of God???

False god #2: (Trying to block the light from his eyes as he watches the movement of the child and God.) Quiet,
you fool! I’m thinking!

Child: (Walks right up to the people, not seeing the demons. The False god #2 remains seated in front of
them, but acts like he is repelled by the child’s presence, almost fearful.) Hi, you guys. What are
you doing? (He touches the man on the back and the man and woman sit upright and look at
him.)

Man: We’re worshiping our god.

Child: What god? (Looking around not seeming to notice the False god #2.)

Woman: This one right here. (Pointing to the False god #2.)

Child: (Looks and shakes his head.) That isn’t a god. It’s a just a plain old demon trying to act like the
Most High God. He’s just a fallen angel trying to show off his powers. (The False god #2 cringes
and acts like he’s trying to tell the child to be quiet, putting a finger over his lips.)

Man: (The man and woman look at the False god, then back at the child.) How can you tell? We saw him
do powerful things, and we were afraid to not worship him.

Child: Fear is his biggest tool! All he’s really got to control you with is fear. The Most High God gets
rid of all your fears and fills you with love, peace, and joy. That guy’s biggest fear is that you’ll
discover who he really is, and that he’ll no longer be able to frighten you with his magic tricks.
Watch this!

Child: (The child points at the quivering demon.) Devil, in the name of Jesus, GO!

(The Holy Spirit walks over to the False god #2 and flicks his shoulder with His finger. Both the False gods shriek
with fear and pain-like sounds, scramble to get to their feet, not able to exit fast enough. The man and woman
jump to their feet ecstatic with joy, clapping their hands and laughing.)

Child: There is no comparison between the Most High God, and the demons who try to show off their
powers. The Most High is a God of love. He’ll never try to make you worship Him through fear
and magic tricks. Besides, they’re doomed to spend eternity in hell for all the trouble they’ve
caused!

Man: (Raising his hands in excitement.) Praise God! We’ve been set free!

Woman: All our fear is gone! Now we know who the true God is! That’s who we want to serve!

(All exit excitedly, with the child holding the hand of the Holy Spirit.)

Lesson #1

Review Questions #1
Review questions are a very valuable teaching tool. They not only show us how well the children have
learned, but they show us how well we have taught them. We never deliberately use “trick” questions. We
try to make our questions simple and clear. Review questions should not be designed so only your brightest
students will get them. Using these questions at the beginning of the next week’s lesson “The Goodness of
God” is a great way to refresh their memory as to what you discussed and is a great launching pad to begin a
new concept. (Make sure you read about this section in “Tips For Using This Curriculum.”)

1. What is a god? Something or someone people worship and think very highly of.

2. How can you tell if you have created a ‘god’ out of something? It’s the most important thing in your life.
It’s all you talk about and think about, and what you spend your time and money on.

3. Are all gods equal in power and strength and ability? No

4. There is one God Who has no competition. Who is it? The Most High God

5. When was the Most High God born, and when will He die? He always existed and will never die.

6. Which God is the creator of all things? The Most High God

7. Name some of the things God is like. He is all powerful, all knowing, He knows the secrets of our hearts,
He is good, merciful, has endless love for us, desires to be our friend, He never changes, etc.

8. If an artist paints a picture, is the picture greater and more wonderful than the artist who made it? No

9. God created all things, including the angels who rebelled and became demons. What have these demons
tricked some people into believing about themselves? They are also gods, and are equal in power to the
Most High God.

10. The Most High sits in the heavens and when he looks down on those other so-called gods, what does He
do? He laughs at them.

11. Some day there will be a final great battle between the Most High God and the demon-gods. What will
happen to these false gods? They will be cast into hell forever.

12. What was the main reason God made human beings? To be best friends with them.

13. God wants to be so close to us, He actually wants to move into someplace and live. Where is this? In the
hearts of men, women, boys, and girls.

14. How many other gods can also live inside of us? None

15. What types of things do you do with best friends? (Refer to page 19 for answer.)

Sword Drill #1
Encouraging children to bring their Bibles to church gives value and importance to the Bible in your children’s ministry.
To reinforce this, you may want to include a time of fun competition where a set of six to ten children compete to see
who can find certain scriptures the fastest. The one who finds the most verses the fastest wins. We have included a list of
scriptures with each lesson that reinforce the concepts in the lesson—scriptures that you would otherwise not have time
to read. The following scriptures are taken from the New King James version of the Bible unless otherwise noted.

1. 1 Kings 8:23 (kjv) And he said, Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or
on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk
before thee with all their heart:

2. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

3. Joshua 24:15 (gnt) If you are not willing to serve him, decide today whom you will serve... As for
my family and me, we will serve the Lord.”

4. 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (gnt) Do not let anyone deceive you in any way. For the Day will not come until the final
Rebellion takes place and the Wicked One appears, who is destined to hell.

5. Isaiah 43:13 Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of
My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?

6. John 4:24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

7. Psalms 139:16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were
written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.

8. 2 Peter 2:4 (gnt) God did not spare the angels who sinned, but threw them into hell, where they are
kept chained in darkness, waiting for the Day of Judgment.

9. John 1:2-3 (gnt) From the very beginning the Word was with God. Through him God made all
things; not one thing in all creation was made without him.

10. Isaiah 14:12-15 How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut
down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! For you have said in your
heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I
will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I
will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’ Yet you
shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit.
