Someone just traded me a Jesus/Devil temple screen (new-never used) for my Chinese Guy/ Chinese Letters temple screen (used five times) and I have a question!
I know how to work the temple screen, but really never had words for it (except one time I said that the guy was Confucious and the letters were his magic words). So, what are some ways to use the Jesus/Devil theme? Also, as an opinion, is the temple screen supposed to be used as a vanish, appearance, and/or change?...I always used it for appearing silks, ropes, and a bottle.

Temple screen is a production item...here's how I've used one in the past. Talk to the people about knowing the difference between things we should do as Christians and things we shouldn't...show the Jesus side and produce a small new testament...should we read this? Of course...then flip to devil side and produce candy cigarettes or rootbeer bottle that is brown with label missing...should Christians be drinking this? and go back and forth between the too...Do one on drugs, and so forth...I hope this gets you started.

I've been using the Temple Screen (Jesus/Devil) for years. I pull a whole message out of it:
OPEN: Who are you following? TEXT: John 10:10 INTRO: Show both sides of Screen with "Yeahs" and "Boos" (Jesus vs Devil) 1st - With Devil side showing. * Bible Paper Tear (The Devil tried to destroy God's Word in Garden of Eden) * Boom-a-rangs (The Devil is the Father of Lies) * Thumb Cuffs (The Devil tries to put you in Bondage) 2nd - With Jesus side showing. * Chines Puzzle (sticks) (The best influence is Jesus) * Cut & Restore Rope (Prayer line with Jesus, Sin-Knot blocks prayer) * Produce many silks tied together (Life Abundant from Jesus) Close: You have a Choice to make. Who will you follow? (Show both sides of Screen again and fold Screen flat) Give invitation to follow Jesus!
Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand!

Thanx Terry! I love that idea! It will easily work my my college peers at BCM.

Another approach might be talking about the promises of God. The devil robs from us (joy, relationships, eternal life), and, Jesus wants to give to us (happiness, fulfillment, a life with meaning). The John 10:10 passage is awesome for this teaching.

Ken-
I love it. And it packs small with a whole presentation contained therein. Nice. |

I don't have a Jesus/Devil Temple Screen production, I do have the oriental style model. Should this one be a pure silent show or does anyone have any suggestive patter? Gospel patter or not?

I found this old post. Do anybody have a Christmas routine for the Temple Screen?

Barry Mitchell now sells an item called "Super Screens", with changeable inserts.
There are some demo videos on his website, which might be helpful. https://barrymitchellproducts.com/produc......e-screen There also might be some ideas in his Facebook group (free to join), and in his SmileMakerStudio (that requires a paid membership). - Donald
