Hope, Faith, Belief

Narrator:  This family believed in God. They were raised in the church and so their children were raised that way too. The story begins…


Mrs. Williams:  Shandrea, come on downstairs and get ready for school.

Mr. Williams:  Yeah! Come on so I can drop both of you off before I go to work!

Shandrea:  Mama, something’s wrong with Bobbie Lewis.

Mrs. Williams:  What did you say, Child?

Bobbie Lewis:  There’s nothing wrong with me. I’m getting up!
_______

After school, the teacher, Mrs. Cherrie calls Mrs. Williams to tell her that she caught Bobbie Lewis in the boys’ bathroom smoking marijuana and popping some pills.

Mrs. Cherrie: So I called the police.

Mr. Williams:  Where is he now?

Mrs. Cherrie: He was taken to the police station

_______

Later that day, the policeman knocks on the door of the Williams’ home.

Mrs. Williams: Who is it?

James: It’s Talaves Police.

Mrs. Williams: Oh, Child. I’ve got to get off the phone. Come on in.

James: Mrs. Williams, your son is in big trouble.

Mrs. Williams:  So I’ve heard. Thank you for bringing him home.

Narrator:  By this time, Mr. Williams walks in.

Mr. Williams:  What’s going on here?

James:  Your son was caught doing drugs.

Mr. Williams:  Boy, you must be crazy! Go to your room. Thank you, Officer. We’ll handle it from here.  Call the Pastor. This boy needs prayer. How long have you been doing drugs, Son?
Bobbie Lewis:  For a long time, Dad.

Mr. Williams:  But why?

Bobbie Lewis:  Because nobody likes me unless I’m doing what they want like getting high. And I don’t believe in God.”

Shandrea:  Mama, I told you something was wrong with Bobbie Lewis, but no one would believe me.

Mrs. Williams:  Baby, I’m sorry for not listening to you. I thought that you were mad at him and just making up something to get him in trouble like before.

Rev. E. Mike, and the First Lady, Robbin, knocks on the door…..

Mrs. Williams:  Get the door.

Shandrea: Yes, Mama.

Rev. E. Mike:  First, let’s pray.

(say short prayer)

Narrator:  Ephesians Chapter 6, Verses 10-24, “The Whole Armour of God”.

Robbin:  Okay, let’s talk.

Mr. Williams:  Bobbie Lewis, don’t you want to say something?

Bobbie Lewis:  Yes. I did it to belong, to be part of the crowd.

Rev. E. Mike:  Well, Bobbie Lewis, there’s a new program called “Hope, Faith, Belief” for people just like you, who has fallen off that solid rock that Jesus talked so much about.

________

Six Weeks Later

Mr. Williams:  Look at him! My boy! He’s president of the Hope, Faith, Belief program.

Mrs. Williams:  Yeah! He’s singing and leading the choir.

Rev. E. Mike:  Yes, he’s doing great, isn’t he?

Robbin:  I love it when God steps in and shows His greatness.

Shandrea:  I’m just glad I got my brother back! Thank you Jesus!

Narrator:  The moral of this story is no matter what you go through, without Hope, Faith, Belief in God Almighty, any and everything can and will go wrong. But, with Hope, Faith, Belief in our Savior Jesus Christ, everything seems to turn out just fine.

Everyone: Who is that?

Narrator:  It’s God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost!


The End

P.S. Christmas is every day that God allows us to wake up to every morning.
