“FAMILY FEUD” By Terry Stanley
Synopsis This is a parody of the hit TV game show “Family Feud”. In this special episode, it’s The Morris Family (members of a local church) verses Lucifer and his Demons. This over-the-top comedy is guaranteed to generate big laughs while teaching an important message about the three major sins of the world; Lust of the Flesh, Lust of the Eye, and The Pride of Life.
Scripture(s) 1 John 2:16 “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world” KJV
