God's Word:               The Armour of God (Ephesians 6:10-18)

Superhero is very powerful and is feared by many evil villains. However, this superhero grows arrogant and wants all glory for himself. He decides to make a name for himself by not wearing any armour or using any weapon to fight villains, but instead using his bare hands.

Then he goes back to defeat the villains.

Scene 1:

< 3 villains are in the middle of the stage bullying a damsel in distress. They are trying to steal her PSP, ipod and iphone >

< Superhero rushes into the scene, fully equipped >

Superhero: I come to stop you! (points to evil villains) I come to save you! (points to damsel)

< Superhero easily defeats the villains who flee >

Superhero: Are you ok, lady?
Damsel: Thank you for being there for me.
Superhero: Don’t worry. I am always here for you (points at damsel), you (points at someone in the audience), you (points at another person), you (points at someone else) and... especially you (points to another person with a wink).

< Damsel leaves the scene, leaving superhero alone. Superhero talks to myself >

Superhero: Fighting bad guys is so easy. Why do I need this stuff? (refer to his armour, sword, shield and helmet). Wearing all these stuff takes a lot of time. Maybe I should try to defeat bad guys with my bare hands. Then I don’t need to get ready. Furthermore, then I will be even more famous, because people will know my power is because of me, not my equipments. They will be scared of me! Time to throw away all these useless stuff.

< Superhero drops all his equipment and leaves. Only with a pair of shorts >

Scene 2

< Evil villains are gathered together, discussing an evil plan >

Villain 1: Did you see the superhero just now? He is walking around with no armour, no sword, no helmet, no shield. 
Villain 2: Hey... he think he so good meh? He must have grown proud.
Villain 3: Last time he beat us up very badly. This time, we can teach him a lesson.

Scene 3

< Repeat of scene 1.  Evil villains do the same thing to the same damsel. Superhero rushes in, this time with no equipment. Villains give superhero a good beating. Superhero runs away, leaving damsel in distress >

< Superhero comes into the scene, this time, without armour >

< The 3 villians are already on stage. bullying the damsel in distress>

Superhero: I am going to defeat you even without my armour! (points at the villians ) muahahahahahaha! and i am going to save you! (points to damsel in distress)

< Just when he was laughing, the villians charged towards him. the superhero tries to fight against the villian but keeps falling back. the damsel in distress takes this chance to run.

Superhero: ah what is happening? i thought fighting was easy! oh no!

< villians laugh at the superhero and goes off stage leaving the superhero on stage alone>

Scene 4

< Superhero is talking to himself, looking very upset >

Superhero: What have I done? I always took time to get ready by putting on my sword, helmet, shield and armour. Without them, I am a lot less powerful. Now I must find them back and defeat the bad guys. Where have i left them?

< the superhero looked around and found his sword, helmet, shield and armour at a corner and took the time to be prepared>

Superhero: my sword! ah! my helmet! my my my armour! yay! :D

Scene 5

< Damsel is in distress, guarded by evil villains. Superhero rushes into the scene, with his full body equipment. Superhero kills all the evil villains, and saves the damsel >

Superhero: Are you ok, lady?
Damsel: Thank you. Why did you lose to the bad guys just now?
Superhero: I was not ready. I thought I could kill them without my equipment. But learnt that I must always be ready, prepared to fight evil any time.
