Part 2: AY Leader should explain this section

Divide the church into four groups. Each group will be given a portion of scripture from 1 Samuel 25. Ask each group to examine the story in 15 minutes and dramatize their various sections.

The Drama should depict the Bible story and bring out the object lessons to be learned and applied by us as Christians. This skit should bring out the creativity of the church and teach the story of David, Nabal, and Abigail.

 

Each Drama should be no longer than 5 minutes.

Group 1: 1 Samuel 25: 1-11

Group 2: 1 Samuel 25: 12-22
