Maria can’t wait for the Shoebox Kids skating party—but a squabble with her brother, a mean word on a foggy window, and a lie to avoid blame spoil the fun. Later, a call from Mrs. Shue and a heartfelt talk with Dad help Maria see how even “small” lies break trust. She prays, apologizes to Mom and Chris, and discovers a “Jesus footprint” in her life: the courage to tell the truth. A warm story about honesty, making thi...
After Joshua dies, Israel forgets God and the Midianites steal their food year after year. When the people finally pray, God answers. He sends a prophet to remind them of His rescue and then calls an unlikely hero named Gideon. While Gideon is secretly threshing wheat, an angel says, “The Lord is with you.” Gideon asks for proof, and God sends fire to burn up his offering. That night, God tells Gideon to tear down his...
Sammy loves Sabbath—except for those tight shoes…and Pete, the class pest. After a Sabbath School lesson about loving enemies (Matthew 5:39, 44), Sammy heads to school determined to do right. When Pete flicks his ear and later tries to copy during a surprise math test, Sammy wants to tell on him. A quick prayer changes his plan: maybe Pete isn’t mean—maybe he’s confused and afraid to ask for help. Instead of getting e...
Five kings join forces to attack Gibeon, and Joshua rushes to help after praying for God’s guidance. God promises to be with Israel. Joshua leads a nighttime march for a surprise attack, and God sends a storm with giant hailstones that scatter the enemy. When Joshua sees the battle will last past sunset, he prays a bold prayer. God makes the sun stand still over Gibeon and the moon pause so Israel can finish the fight...
The Shoebox Kids head out for a short Sabbath School hike and learn a big lesson about faith. Even though they cannot see any animals, Sammy spots tracks in the mud. They cannot see the wind, but they feel it and watch it move the trees. Back in class, Mrs. Shue reads Hebrews 11:1 and invites everyone to watch for “Jesus’ footprints” this quarter. The kids will look for small clues that Jesus is with them, like answer...
News of Israel’s victories spreads, and the people of Gibeon hatch a sneaky plan: they dress in worn-out clothes, carry crumbly bread, and pretend to be from far away so Joshua will make peace with them. The leaders look at the evidence, taste the bread—and forget to pray. Three days later, they discover the truth. Because they had promised safety, Israel keeps its word, and the Gibeonites become woodcutters and water...
Maria thinks copying answers from her teacher’s book is “no big deal”—until a cookie caper with her little sister, Yo-Yo, makes the truth impossible to hide. Later in Sabbath School, the Shoebox Kids study Achan’s story and learn that God sees everything and wants honest hearts. Maria realizes she needs to tell the truth, too. A relatable story about temptation, telling the truth, and how God helps us choose integrity...
After the victory at Jericho, Israel expects an easy win at Ai—but the soldiers run away and Joshua falls before God, devastated. God reveals the reason: someone has disobeyed by taking things from Jericho that were meant to be destroyed. By God’s choice, the tribes and families come forward until Achan is named. He confesses that he hid silver, gold, and clothes under his tent. Israel removes the sin from the camp, a...
During fitness class, the Shoebox Kids trudge through endless laps and start wondering why God asked Israel to march around Jericho for seven days. In Sabbath School, Mrs. Shue explains that God wanted His people to see that victory was His gift—not their strength—and to remember His power when they felt discouraged. The kids share their own “remember when God helped…” stories, then face another week of laps with fres...
Two spies slip into Jericho and find unexpected help from Rahab, who lowers them over the wall with a red rope and trusts God to save her family. As Joshua prays, the Commander of the Lord’s army appears with a surprising plan: for six days, Israel will march silently around the city behind priests carrying the Ark; on the seventh day, they will circle seven times, blow the trumpets, and shout. When they obey, Jericho...
When Mom suddenly doubles over in pain, Jenny has to act fast. With a calm 911 dispatcher on the line, she gives their address, stays on the phone, and prays while the paramedics race to help. At the hospital, a kind EMT and a trusted family friend remind Jenny she’s not alone—and soon the doctor says Mom will be okay. This faith-and-safety story shows kids how to handle emergencies, be brave, and remember God’s promi...
From Mount Nebo, Moses blesses the tribes and says goodbye as Joshua becomes Israel’s new leader. God tells Joshua to be strong and brave and to lead the people across the flooded Jordan. When the priests carry the Ark of the Covenant and step into the water, the river stops and everyone walks across on dry ground. Joshua sets up twelve stones as a reminder of God’s miracle. In their new land, Israel celebrates Passov...
On his way home, Sammy hears a frightened little dog and finds two boys throwing rocks. He steps in to protect her, takes her home for the night, and starts posting signs to find her family. Kindness spreads when Scott, one of the boys, helps put up the signs. Soon a grateful owner appears and “Penny” goes home. At Sabbath School the Shoebox Kids learn about Balaam and his donkey, and Sammy sees how listening to God a...
King Balak hires the prophet Balaam to curse Israel, but God says Balaam may only speak His words. On the road, Balaam’s donkey sees an angel with a sword and swerves three times to keep him safe. Balaam cannot see the angel and gets angry, even hitting the donkey, until God lets him see what the donkey saw all along. Humbled, Balaam goes to Moab and, instead of cursing, blesses God’s people again and again because no...
Willie is home sick and missing Sabbath School when his friends bring class to him. After a sweet visit and a lesson about the bronze serpent, Willie falls asleep and dreams he is in the Israelite camp, bitten by a snake. His friends race him through the crowded tents to look at the serpent on the pole. Willie chooses to trust God, looks up in faith, and is healed. He wakes to find his fever lower and learns with Mom ...
After years in the desert, the Israelites grumble again when water runs out. Moses loses his patience and strikes the rock instead of speaking to it, and God sadly tells him he will not lead the people into Canaan. Later, as the people complain, poisonous snakes sweep through the camp. God gives a surprising rescue plan. Moses lifts a bronze snake on a pole, and everyone who looks in faith is healed. This story points...
While studying the story of Korah’s rebellion, the Shoebox Kids wonder how to recognize God’s leaders today. Pastor Hill visits their class to share what pastors do and how God calls people to serve. Inspired, the kids secretly plan a surprise “thank-you” party to show appreciation for their pastor, even solving a parking puzzle so he will not suspect a thing. When the lights flash on and everyone shouts “Surprise!”, ...
Korah is unhappy that he is not a priest, so he convinces Dathan, Abiram, and many leaders to challenge Moses and Aaron. Moses prays and tells everyone to bring bowls of incense so God can show whom He has chosen. The next day, God stops the rebellion: the ground opens under the ringleaders, fire falls on the 250 men with incense, and a disease spreads among the crowd until Aaron runs with his incense to save the peop...
Jenny and Willie can hardly contain their excitement when a pink letter arrives from Mrs. Socks, the editor of Primary Treasure, announcing she will visit their church and gather everyone’s favorite animal stories. But when they call their friends, no one believes them. On Sabbath, the class is stunned to see Mrs. Socks standing beside their teacher, and the group learns how it feels to share good news that others dou...
After many days at Mount Sinai, Israel follows God’s cloud toward the Promised Land. Twelve spies explore Canaan and return with amazing fruit and a glowing report about the rich land, but most are afraid of the giants and walled cities. Joshua and Caleb urge everyone to trust God’s promise, yet the people complain. God forgives them, but that unbelieving generation must wander for forty years, and only Joshua and Cal...
