Pastors, teachers, and church drama groups: Are you planning a Lent series or individual messages for the six weeks between Ash Wednesday and Easter? If so, these six dramatic monologues, The Simon-Peter Chronicles, seen at churches throughout North America, may be just what you’re looking for. They’re now available, both individually and as a complete collection, from my script publisher SkitGuys.com!

The Simon Peter Chronicles: Complete Collection (Six Monologues) – The Apostle Peter’s encounters with Jesus as narrated in six deeply personal journal entries. These are great sermons illustrations for a series on Peter, or for the six Sundays leading up to Easter. Each of the monologues may also be ordered separately (below).
The Veil (Monologue) – Simon (later known as Peter) speaks of the barrier that separates sinful people from a righteous God. And then he meets Jesus, the One who will destroy that barrier!
Follow Me (Monologue) – Simon Peter abandons the security of his fishing business to follow Jesus into an unknown future. “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God” (Corrie ten Boom).
An Ordinary Man (Monologue) – In a sin-twisted world, Simon Peter realizes, Jesus is the only truly normal human being, and his commitment to follow Jesus deepens. Has ours?
The Rock (Monologue) – Peter is overjoyed at the way God is working through him. Yet a terrible test lies ahead. “I could never deny Him,” he declares. We are called to serve Him–no matter what.
The End of My Self (Monologue) – Following Jesus’ arrest, and his own denial of Him, Peter’s dreams are invaded by images of destruction. Even in our darkest hours, Jesus is there with us.
Feed My Sheep (Monologue) – The risen Christ appears to his disciples, but Peter’s joy is shadowed by guilt. Jesus’ assurance of love and forgiveness comes with a commission: pass it on!

These look great, Mitch, and knowing you, they are. I wish our church had a drama group. 😕
Aw, thank you, Annie, I wish you did too.
The Bible study I attend just started a series on The Veil. These look really great. Nice offering, Mitch.
My privilege, Maddie. I really identified with Peter when I was writing it.
Nice post 🙏
Thank you, Devendr.
