A drama about what would happen today with a God Moment. If we experience a Big God Moment like Peter or Moses, How would we react. Would we enjoy the moment or become distracted like Peter?
Luke 9:28-36
Peter: man barbequing
God: Voice of God
Grill, Apron, Grill utensils
Setting: Peter’s Backyard
(Peter is cooking and humming)
God: Peter…
Peter: (looks behind and then shrugs shoulders)
God: Peter!
Peter: (acts like he is looking over hedge) Hey, Fred, you calling me.
God: I’m calling you, Peter.
Peter: (Looks over shoulder at the grill) Great, the grill is talking to me. That’ll teach me not to stay up late watching “The Ten Commandments.
God: Peter
Peter: Alright, I’ll play along. Who are you?
God: I AM WHO I AM
Peter: Oh great, a riddle.
God: No riddle. It Is I, Your God. (Thunder sound effect)
Peter: (Speechless, with a look of awe and shock on face)
God: It is o.k., you can talk to me.
Peter: This is so incredible. What can I do for you, oh my master. (Falls to knees)
God: Stand up for one, if your neighbor Fred sees you, he’ll think you’ve gone mad. Anyways, your steak is burning. This is a grill, not a bush.
Peter: (Gets up and flips his steak) This is so cool! (Excitedly)
God: Better. (pause) Now Listen,
Peter: (interrupting) I’ve got to do something special to remember this day.
God: No, you’ve got to listen to me. There is something I want you to do. I want you to help your neighbor, Fred, become a Christian.
Peter: Oh, I see why you didn’t want me down on all fours. But this I so awesome. I’m talking with God.
God: Peter, back to Fred. I want you to…..
Peter: (interrupting) I need to do something special.(Thinking and not paying attention to God) Something Big, Something Permanent.
God: Peter, I am trying to instruct you here. Concentrate!
Peter: Something like an…..altar! Like Abraham did!
God: Peter! You’re no Abraham! Listen to me!
Peter: Right, I’m not Abraham. You’re in the form of fire, like Moses, a bush! No! too simple. Think bigger and solid. A large brick BBQ with both gas and charcoal, side electric heating pads.
God: (interrupting) Peter!, I just want you to lead Fred to me.
Peter: A mini-fridge, a bread warming tray, wine chiller, maybe a whole deck, too! It is good for me to be here.
God: Peter.
Peter: Yes, God. (still excited)
God: I’ll get someone else and oh, by the way, your steak is burnt.
