"ROBED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS"
A Dramatic Trilogy of Isaiah 61:10

"The Black Dress"
Theme: Surrender

The Basic Black Dress is the first in the series that has been enthusiastically received. It is a conversation with the Lord over a 25-year span of time, (packed into 35 minutes.)

When the speaker first appears on stage, she has brilliantly colored accessories on a black dress. As life wears on, each piece come off--pride (a red sash), a dear sister's death (green cuff), an unfortunate divorce (yellow collar), etc. Each is ultimately surrendered to God until there's only the basic black dress. Scripture is used at every point and finally the meaning of Romans 8:28 becomes clear.

This dramatic monologue (in allegory form) underscores a life of faith in a God who works things out for our good.  Through humor and tears, the speaker relates the story of a life, then looking back, helps us make sense of the trials and tribulations in the light of God's promises.

THE BASIC BLACK DRESS is a single session, about 35 minutes in length. Some humor, some tears!

Powerful impact!!

"DRESSED FOR THE KING"
Theme: Sanctification

Part two in the dramatic trilogy of "Robed In Righteousness"; is "Dressed For the King" which focuses on our interpersonal relationships with family, friends, and co-workers.

A lady named Rea Joyce struggles with old habits of nasty comments, complaining, gossiping, and others. Then she discovers the King is coming to her door….and she is wearing those ugly clothes. How she recovers in time to be presentable for the King is a lesson we all can profit from.

This dramatic monologue (in allegory form) is a Biblical challenge to "take off"  the clothes of the old nature and "put on" the "Robes of Righteousness"; as commanded in the third chapter of Colossians.

It's also an exhortation to work, play and live with those around us in a way that glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ.  "Dressed For The King" is a single session, about 30 minutes in length.

Humorous, yet thought provoking!
Optional evangelistic ending.

"GRACIE AND THE RED DRESS"
Theme: Salvation

Part three of "Robed In Righteousness" will emphasize salvation.  "Gracie and the Red Dress" is the story of a young woman who has forsaken her Christian upbringing for a life of self-centeredness and sin.

Through the "chance" encounter with another woman in a dress shop, she repents and comes to know the Lord as her Savior. But not before she tries on all the wrong dresses...the outfits of "everybody believes this way", "my grandmother went to church", "true for you but not for me", "I'll have to give up too much", "I'm not as bad as my friend",  and more.

In allegory form, the plan of salvation is given and it is emphasized that "without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins." (Hebrews 9:22)

This will be a bit longer, about 45 minutes, and will soon be ready for presentation.

Mostly serious, but excellent for evangelistic emphasis.
