Beatitudes For Living - Volume 8
|
This volume of five skits examines the spiritual “beautiful attitudes” expressed in the “Beatitudes.”
Harvey learns that the peacemakers truly are “blessed” when they try to make peace. He successfully reunites a feuding Zelda and Clem only to have them turn on him and “persecute” him for standing up for God’s opinion. When he forgets his lunch, Harvey learns that “hungering and thirsting for righteousness” means you want to do God’s will very much! Zelda learns that the “gentle” are blessed, but the harsh person is rejected, as she joins her friends who all “mourn” the fact that they are not perfect, and that we all need God’s forgiveness.

Skits In this Volume:
(Remember, each skit includes a full Skit Package of materials!)
Skit 1: Blessed Are The Peacemakers (Matthew 5: 9)
Harvey has his hands full with Tina's invasion in his garage, and the fight between Zelda and Clem. By making peace, Harvey learns that those who make peace please God so much that He is proud to call them sons and daughters.
Skit 2: Blessed Are The Gentle (Matthew 5: 5; Proverbs 15: 1)
Zelda's "naturally-gentle" character is accentuated after she begins taking karate lessons. She learns that God will bless those who are gentle by giving them the respect of others, and also a promise of a reward in Heaven. The contrast between a gentle person and a non-gentle person is clearly shown along with the results of the two.
Skit 3: Blessed Are Those Who Hunger and Thirst For Righteousness (Matthew 5: 6)
Harvey experiences hunger and thirst at school, and then learns about "hungering and thirsting for righteousness" from Pastor Rufus. We see "the new Harvey" helping others as he tries to strongly desire to please God in all that he says and does.
Skit 4: Blessed Are Those Who Are Persecuted (Matthew 5: 11, 12)
The forming of "The Kidnap Club" doesn't sound like something God would like, so Harvey the other characters he wants nothing to do with it. He receives persecution, but later discovers that it is far better to stand up for what you know God would want you to do rather than go along with the crowd and disobey Him.
Skit 5: Blessed Are Those Who Mourn (Matthew 5: 4; John 15: 5)
"Being perfect" proves to be an impossible goal for all the characters. They all realize that we are incapable of living the Christian life on our own merit or power. We stress the need for God's forgiveness and the indwelling power of His Spirit to accomplish it.
