***Yeah, a topic like this doesn't lend itself very well to a light-hearted, two-minute sketch by the church's theater group.***

I don't know.

How about three people costumed as clay pots of varying types whining about their maker, griping about how they were made, what they were made to do, etc.

Suddenly a loud voice says, "STOP!" and they freeze in place as the voice continues, "But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’ Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use? "
Fade to black.

Pastor says, turn in your Bibles to Romans Chapter 9...

This skit is consistent with the intent of Paul's illustration. It is simply a visual illustration. It could include some humor but make a very serious and sobering point.

Just a thought.

I would flee any church that taught by dance or theatrics. A godly man expositing the Word is all that is sufficient. And a great deal of mischief is made with modernism.

How would this skit be performed in Arminian/Pelagian churches? Are the pots chided by God for not melting themselves down, and reforming themselves into "vessels fit for honorable use" (Romans 9:21)?

I think there are a great many church theater groups that could use your services! ;-)
