Leader: Weigh nothing light on my soul
Are you still in control

Student 1: 3,000 children and teens a day see their parent’s marriage end in divorce

Leader: I desperately need You, I desperately know
Love left me hungry, life gave me pain
This world washed dreams away like the gray rain

Student 3: 66% of the population believes that absolute truth cannot be found

Leader: In you is my promise, I’m so afraid I let it slow
In You is salvation, in You is my glow
So sinking and worthless
So stinking, so fruitless
Smudges like newspaper, sooty and raw

Student 2: The suicide rate among teen has quadrupled in the last 4 decades

People are sitting on a fence and Jesus and Satan are at opposite ends of the fence. Jesus says, “Come and follow me.” to the first person on the fence. That person asks, “Why should I?”. Satan gives reasons to come with him while Jesus combats Satan with the Word of God and reasons to follow Him. Each person decides one way or the other until they come to the last person, who decides that the fence is comfortable. He chooses not to make a decision either way, to just stay on the fence. Satan then says, “Welcome to Hell, I own the fence.” You can follow this by reading Revelation 3:15 or just stop after the last line.

Characters: Jesus, Satan, four people on the fence 

Leader: All right! Everyone…everyone attention. Listen up! HEY YOU GUYS! (all are quiet) It is time for the annual FCA Talent Show. Now I expect that everyone has practiced and I must say that dress rehearsal was just nifty. But now it's time for the real thing. So…PLACES EVERYONE! And remember there's…

Everyone: NO OFF SEASON!!

Leader: Great! Move along. Now presenting all the way from Lord only knows where, a display of some of the most interesting talent this side of Paducha. Here they are, this year's FCA Huddle Leaders in their interpretation of NO OFF SEASON!

(Each group of Huddle Leaders do a short interpretation of NO OFF SEASON. It should be no longer than a minute. Come up with your own ideas or in desperation look below.)

You need someone to play Jesus and five other characters. Jesus is standing in front with His hands at His side looking forward. He has no expression on His face.

Other Characters:
Sports Fanatic - needs to have a football, basketball, or volleyball. He/she comes in and looks at Jesus, then looks at the huddle and says, “That’s not what my Jesus looks like! My Jesus is a basketball player.” That person then bends and forms Jesus as if He were shooting a foul shot and puts the ball in Jesus’ hands. Mold Jesus into whatever sport you want. The person then says, “That’s what my Jesus looks like!” Exit.

Plot of Skit:
Each person has an occupation that they would be if they weren't huddle leaders.
This is just a funny skit that gives all the huddle leaders a chance to be up front.
All of them sing the song with just one person at a time singing the last part…”a
farmer I would be. Give, Bessie, give. My baby's got to live.” Then they all do
their individual lines before repeating and adding another person.

Characters: As many as you want

Listed below is the song and some examples for you to use.
If I weren't a huddle leader, I'll tell you what I'd be.
If I weren't a huddle leader, a ________ I would be.

Two friends are visiting. The Christian friend tries to persuade the sinner that he needs Christ. The sinner is not ready for that and walks away. (Play the song here.) He runs into one demon at a time who burdens him with a sign (sin) of alcohol, sex, rebellion, etc. He acts confused and weighted down. Then he runs into Satan who calls his demons and they torture the sinner. He calls for help from his friend, but he can’t help and yells, “Only Jesus can help you.” The man being tortured realizes Jesus is the answer and yells “Jesus, I need you.” Jesus comes and slays the demons. Then he takes the sins off one at a time and stands on them and holds the sinner (till the end of the song).

This is read by a narrator while the actors act.
Jesus and his disciples had spent a long day of teaching and preaching by the lake and the evening had come. The disciples were tired and hungry. So tired and hungry they could barely stand up. Jesus said, “Men, let’s get in the boat and head for the other side of the lake. There’s a McDonald’s over there.” When the disciples heard this, they jumped up and down with glee, giving each other high fives and hugs. Then they boarded the boat, talking sailor talk.

After they all got on the boat and they were on their way, Jesus found a beautiful cushion and laid his head on it, because he was very tired. He went to sleep immediately. He slept soundly—so soundly he snored.

Two former athletes are watching a game. They get into an argument about which of them was a better athlete. Jesus walks in and asks to sit down. The two question Him about where He went to school (University of Nazareth), and which sport He played (Cross Training). In the questions He describes salvation and the cross experience. One walks out and rejects Him. The other listens and stops harassing Him, eventually coming to know Him in a personal way. 

Someone starts out giving a testimony and everyone thinks it is for real. One by one people stand up in the crowd to correct him and his testimony. One says that praise and worship is the only way, another says tithing, another says legalism, another humility, etc. Before long you will have seven to eight people all arguing their perspective of Christ. Christ walks out and one by one acts out footwashing. As each one gets their feet washed, they stop arguing, drop their head and become silent. It ends with the original person still trying to give his testimony. He steps down after Christ washes his feet.

The actors act out the song “The Champion” by Carmen. This is a boxing theme of Jesus defeating Satan.

Characters: God, Jesus, Satan, Narrator, three angels, and three demons 

This is basically a music video format to the song “Home Run” by Geoff Moore and the Distance. Satan is the pitcher and his buddies are the fielders. One person is up to bat and he has friends on base that he has to get home (heaven). The first two pitches are strikes (swing and miss). The song ends with the batter hitting a home run and Satan falling in defeat. This skit stresses the importance of keeping on keeping on for Christ. Lives are in the balance (those on base), depending on us to do the right thing (hitting a home run). Satan is trying to make us stumble (throwing curves, spit balls, cheating to make us strike out). Satan is pitching to the batter, who swings twice and misses.

2 Timothy 4: 5-8

Coach: (in the Huddle) Okay team, we're in a tight situation here. Bud, you've got #4. And Sid, you take #28. All right, let's stay in man-to-man. We've got five minutes on the clock. Play with all your might. Now let's win this one for…ME (hugs a
player). All right, boys! All right, boys! 

All: Ready, break! (All players go out, except one)

Coach: I love this game!

Bud: Yeah, great game!

Coach: I know…I know. Everybody's working together. Hittin' the boards. And you! You have been tremendous. There's nobody covering #4 like you…LIKE YOU DID! What are you doing here!? #4 just scored! You're supposed to be out there!
