Artist Statement

THE SERMON offers the audience an expose on Satan’s devices aimed at Christian believers. The play allows us to watch and reflect as satanic and divine forces battle for influence over the individual’s decision-making. In THE SERMON, Satan’s deceptively charming representative gathers a small band of highly skilled, destructive, devilish companions; they enter the lives of unsuspecting believers to entice them into worldly ways consistent with Satan’s ultimate mission: to steal, kill, and destroy. This funny, insightful presentation will leave you laughing, but also amazed at the abundant spiritual revelation you’ve received.

How it fits into contest
