Keeping Score

Comedy

Produced by Cedarville Comedy

This humorous video highlights how easy it is to keep score in our marriage relationships. But Christ calls us to a higher standard.

"Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless." Ephesians 5:21-27

Petty Prayer

Comedy

Produced by Cedarville Comedy

This humorous video shows how sometimes our prayers can unfortunately be self-centered or a little petty. While it's not wrong to pray for our own needs, our prayer times should be focused on the glory of God and how he is able to help those in need around us.

"First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people…” 1 Timothy 2:1

Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1

Singles Advice

Comedy

Produced by Cedarville Comedy

This humorous video illustrates how sometimes we can treat singleness like it’s an unwanted phase of life that we need to quickly get out of. But singleness is a worthy calling and shouldn't be considered less valuable than the calling to be married.

"Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do...Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them.” 1 Corinthians 7:8,17

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:8

Gossip Girls

Comedy

Produced by Cedarville Comedy

This humorous video illustrates how gossip can sneak into our prayer times. Openness and vulnerability in prayer isn’t an excuse to gossip about others or share details that we should keep confidential. Our prayers should be for the building up of other believers not for tearing them down.

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." Ephesians 4:29

Church Finder

Comedy

Produced by Cedarville Comedy

This humorous sketch explores our consumeristic desires to find the perfect church that fits all of our needs. In reality there is no such thing as the perfect church. Though this is true, God uses our imperfect communities to form us into His likeness and uses us to serve his mission of redeeming our neighbors, wherever we are.

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10:24-25

Connections

Comedy

Produced by Cedarville Comedy

This humorous Connections Team training video helps illustrate ways we can unintentionally alienate those we welcome to church on a Sunday and encourages us to avoid doing those things.

"Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.” Romans 15:7

Christmas Tree

Comedy

Produced by Cedarville Comedy

It’s easy to get sentimental during the holiday season. The lights, decorations, and music can put us in the “holiday spirit”. But this sentimentality can become an idol when we value the season more than Jesus. This humorous video illustrates the absurdity about attachment to sentimentality.

911 Operator

Comedy

Produced by Cedarville Comedy

When others are in need, it’s easy to say that we’ll pray for them. But Jesus asks us to not only pray for those in need but to help. While we know that prayer is powerful and effective we also know that when we find ourselves in a position to help others, we need to. Use this short video to introduce a teaching on faith and work, or prayer and action.

"What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” James 2:14-17

My Little Secret

Comedy

Produced by Cedarville Comedy

This humorous video illustrates how we can hide our faith from those around us. But Jesus calls us to not be ashamed of Him and to love others by sharing His love with them.

"For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord…" 2 Timothy 1:7-8

Back Up Pastor

Comedy

Produced by Cedarville Comedy

This humorous video exaggerates the feeling we sometimes have when our favorite pastor or preacher is not preaching on a Sunday. But the Bible teaches us that God speaks through various types of people and that His word is powerful and effective no matter who He speaks through. We should be open to hearing the word of the God because ultimately we are listening to God not man.

"And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.” 1 Thessalonians 2:13

Real Housewives Of Christianity

Comedy

Produced by Cedarville Comedy

Our good deeds for God should be done only for him and not to receive praise from others. This humorous parody of the Real Housewives exaggerates how this can go wrong when we look for praise from others rather than from God. “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” Matthew 6:1

Scripture: Matthew 6:1

Christianese

Comedy

Produced by Cedarville Comedy

This humorous video emphasizes how sometimes it seems that as Christians we can speak a different language than the rest of the world. While we participate in the life we have in Christ, it's important that we take responsibility for speaking His truth in an intelligible way to those who don't know him.

"Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience…” 1 Peter 3:15-16

Worship Parody

Comedy

Produced by Cedarville Comedy

This humorous video exaggerates how we can sometimes make our "worship experience” or ourselves the center of worship rather than God and who He is.

“Vagueness about the object of our praise inevitably leads to making our own praise the object. Praise therefore becomes an end in itself, and we are caught up in our own ‘worship experience’ rather than in the God whose character and acts are the only proper focus.” – Michael Horton, A Better Way

Defining The Relationship

Video Illustration

Produced by Church Visuals

A relationship does not develop on it’s own. It takes investment from both people. God has given us guidance for what elements must be ever present if a relationship is to go the distance. He teaches us that love is patient, kind, trusts and never fails. This Mini-Movie was designed to be used in a marriage or relationship series. Also perfect for Valentine’s Day!
