Zack's Zap Pack Page #6

---

Name's Zack.

Pastor mark.

And Zack, you smell

like... garbage.

I know.

[Instrumental music]

Oh, here.

What's this?

Creamed corn, for tonight.

Mom, you know I hate

creamed corn.

It's not for you,

it's for the food pantry.

Okay.

Remember, for the concert

tonight?

Oh, mom, that's

a worship service.

Worship service, concert,

whatever you want to call it,

You need a canned good

to get in.

Well, in that case, I'd be happy

to give away some creamed corn.

Mom, relax, I'm glad

we're collecting food.

I'm excited, too.

Those food pantry shelves

will finally be filled.

This was a good idea.

I'm glad I thought of it.

Okay, well, I have a lot to do

Before all the people

get there,

So your dinner's in the oven.

What about dad?

Oh, he's on his own tonight.

I wish he could see you.

He'd be there if he could.

Who are you and what have

you done with my son?

Mom, stop.

I'm serious,

you've really adjusted.

I'm liking this new attitude.

[Instrumental music]

[Instrumental music]

Yo, Zack.

Randy.

Where you going?

To church, you want to go?

(Scoffs) No.

What's this?

It's my guitar.

Was your guitar, loser.

Seriously.

Let's see what Zack's

got in here.

[Instrumental music]

[Instrumental music]

[Instrumental music]

What's going on?

Where am I?

I want my mommy!

(Crying)

Hmm, Zachary looks different.

[Randy screams]

Because it's not Zachary,

it's the bully.

Don't hurt me, please.

You don't scare us.

I want my mommy!

(Screaming)

Relax, Randolph, we're not

going to hurt you.

Who are you?

What are you?

I'm a pencil.

What is it with kids today?

Don't you know a pencil

when you see one?

And I'm an eraser that's

about to erase you.

[Screaming]

Pinkie, back off.

Son, how did you get in here?

I don't know.

I just threw Zack's guitar

in the bushes

And reached in here

for something valuable.

Well, in that case,

you found it.

Huh?

We were planning on

helping Zachary today,

But obviously, we are

supposed to help you.

Help?

Help?

Yes, help.

[T.I. chattering]

Listen, I don't want

any trouble.

I just want to get

out of here.

Sit back and relax.

This lesson was supposed

to be for Zachary,

But now it's for you.

Lesson? What lesson?

Take a look at my pad.

I've got a story to draw

for you.

This story can be found in

acts chapter 23, verses 13-32.

Do you know where that is?

In the bible?

Correct. It's about a young boy

and a bunch of bullies.

There was a young boy,

We don't know his name,

but he was special.

He didn't know it yet,

but God had big plans for him.

Are you sure this

story's for me?

Just listen.

Now, this boy's family

was very sad

Because their uncle Paul was

locked in jail by the Romans

For telling people about Jesus.

But it gets worse, you see,

Because there was a group

of very powerful Jewish folks

That wanted Paul dead

for the same reason.

So they devised a plan

to have him killed

While still in custody.

"We'll tell the Jewish

high council

To request that they

speak to Paul.

Then when the Roman guards

Walk him down the street

to the council,

We'll get 40 men to jump out

and attack him.

He'll be dead before

he can say 'ambush'."

What these people

did not realize is

That Paul's young nephew

overheard the entire plan.

He ran straight to

the Roman jail

And asked to speak

to his uncle.

He told his uncle Paul all about

the evil plan he overheard.

Paul immediately sent him

to tell the Roman guard

Who quickly made plans

To sneak Paul out of the town

that very night.

That was a close call.

Yes.

The evil plan was spoiled

All because a little boy made

a difference that day.

Okay, nice little story.

Now, can I get out of here?

Not until we...

Teach you a lesson!

[T.I. growling]

Chill out, everyone, chill.

That story was meant

for Randolph, too.

He's just as special

as Zachary is.

Special?

In Eephesians 2:
10,

it is written,

"For we are God's masterpiece.

He has created us anew

in Christ Jesus

So we can do good things

he planned for us long ago."

That's in the bible, right?

Yes.

It means your God's

masterpiece, Randolph.

I don't think that verse

was meant for me.

It was probably meant

for Zack.

Yeah, and I wish Zack was

in here instead of you...

No, Pinkie! Randolph was

meant to be in here.

That verse is for him, too.

But he's just like the bad

men in that story

That were trying

to kill Paul.

I'm bad, but I wouldn't

kill anyone.

No, you're not the bad man.

You are like Paul.

Paul told people about Jesus.

I hardly know anything

about him.

Paul wasn't always

a missionary for Jesus.

He started out

as enemy of Jesus

And he was much worse than you.

Really?

The truth is, God has a plan

for you, Randolph,

And it's a good plan,

A plan to make a difference

just like Zachary.

Take a look at my pad

for one more story.

This is about a bad man

named Saul.

[Instrumental music]

First, I'd like to thank

everybody for coming out tonight

And I'd like to

introduce to you

The newest member of

our worship team, Zack.

[Applause]

We adore you, we adore you,

We bow before you,

God most high

You have saved us,

precious, Jesus

King of mercy,

lord of life

[Cheers and applause]

Thank you.

Zack, I'm so proud of you.

So am I, buddy.

Oh, dad, I thought you were

supposed to be at work.

Yeah, well, I worked it out

so I could be here.

Dad has something

he wants to tell you.

Well, Zack, looks like

there's a good chance

We'll be moving back

to Hickory Heights.

Isn't that wonderful?

We kind of thought

you'd be excited.

It's just that I've

been starting

To make great friends here.

Oh. Well, we haven't decided

on anything yet.

You know, it's strange,

It's like staying here is part

of something bigger.

Hey, Zack, can I talk to

you for a second?

Could I have a minute?

Yeah, we'll just be

right outside.

Hey, man, I just want to say

that I'm really sorry

For throwing your guitar

in the bushes.

That's fine.

And you sounded

really great tonight.

Thanks.

Can I have my backpack back?

Oh, yeah, sure.

I'm going to ask you

a really crazy question.

Okay.

Have you ever talked to,

like, a pencil or...

A calculator and an eraser?

Yeah!

So what did Woody draw

for you?

Well, he drew me two stories.

The first one was about Paul

And how this really brave kid

saved his life.

I think that one was for you.

And then the second story was

about this really bad man

Who always tried to fight God,

and then he met Jesus

And totally turned

his life around.

I think that one was for me.

Here, keep it.

I have a feeling that your

adventures are just beginning.

See you, man.

[Instrumental music]

Zack was a popular

everyday kid

He had lots and lots

of friends

Just like everyone did,

But daddy came home

with some terrible news,

He got a pink slip and now

they've all got to move

Packing up his things,

his life is gonna change,

Saying goodbye to friends

is the hardest of things
