How do we talk about what no one dares to say in church?

In this bold, humorous 5-minute skit, two church members navigate the landmine of "taboo topics"—like politics, money, and yes… sex. When the pastor announces tomorrow’s sermon topic, panic sets in, and the real question arises: Are we more afraid of the word than the truth behind it?

Perfect for opening up conversations about how the Church handles real-world issues with grace and honesty.

  • Theme: Tackling sensitive topics in church
  • Bible Reference: 1 Corinthians 7:1-5
  • Cast: 2 (any gender)
  • Run-time: 5 minutes
  • Set/Props: Standard setup with basic props (duster, wallet)

This light-hearted but meaningful sketch invites the audience to rethink what belongs in the pulpit—and why the truth should never be whispered.

Sample of script:

(Terry is fussing about—dusting, adjusting a chair so it’s just right. Steps back, nods in satisfaction, and begins to walk away. Just then, Tony enters the stage.)

Terry:
There, looks good! House of the Lord, all ready for services tomorrow morning!

Tony:
Hey Terry!

(Terry jumps, startled.)

Terry:
Tony! Why you like to make my heart stop like that? Didn’t know there was anyone else here!

Tony:
So sorry, Terry. I for sure didn’t mean to frighten you. What are you doing here in church so late at night?

Terry:
Well, it being Sunday tomorrow, and church and all, I just like to get everything looking awesome is what.

Tony:
We’ve missed you the last couple of weeks. I hear you’ve been on holidays.

Terry:
For a fact—I did miss hearing the pastor’s sermons!

Tony:
Well, for sure you missed a great sermon last Sunday. Pastor spoke on the church and politics.

Terry (shocked):
Noooooooooooo! He wouldn’t!

Tony (confused):
Why wouldn’t he? I mean…

Terry:
Listen up close—I am not about to repeat myself! The “P” word has no place in the church!
