God's Office
4/16/2026

Maria starts Sabbath morning frustrated when little Yo-Yo “decorates” her dresser the hard way. At church, Mrs. Shue teaches the Shoebox Kids a powerful object lesson by turning the classroom into a principal’s office—showing what respect looks like (and what it doesn’t). Then Maria hears a new way to think about church: it’s God’s office, a place to be reverent because Jesus promised to be with His people when they gather. During the sermon, Maria chooses worship over notes, helps Yo-Yo sit still, and keeps her eyes open for Jesus’ footprints.

Philistines Capture God’s Ark
4/14/2026
Send us Fan Mail
Israel loses a battle against the Philistines, and the leaders make a dangerous mistake. Instead of turning back to God, they treat the Ark of the Covenant like a lucky charm and carry it into war. But God is not impressed—and the Philistines win again, capturing the Ark and bringing it to their temple in Ashdod.
Then something shocking happens. The Philistines place the Ark in front of their idol, Dagon… and the next morning, everything is different. As the Ark is moved from city to city, trouble follows—until the Philistine rulers finally decide it has to go back to Israel. This episode reminds kids that God is holy, He is not a good-luck charm, and He always has the power to protect what belongs to Him.

Delivering God’s Mail

Sammy keeps fixing his bike when a new neighbor boy, A.J., pops up over the fence. A.J. seems lonely, and Sammy soon learns why. A.J. has been in trouble for stealing, and his dad says he’ll always be a troublemaker. During Sabbath School, the Shoebox Kids learn how God called Samuel to deliver a message, and Mrs. Shue challenges them to “deliver God’s mail” this week.
When A.J. comes over again, Sammy prays for the right words and tells him the most important message of all: Jesus loves him and can change his heart. Just as A.J. starts to hope, something happens that might keep Sammy from ever seeing him again.

Samuel Hears God’s Voice

Samuel is growing up in the tabernacle, helping Eli the priest. But Eli’s sons are doing wrong things, and it’s hurting God’s house and God’s people. One night, while Samuel is in bed, he hears a voice call his name. He runs to Eli—three times—thinking Eli is calling. Finally, Eli understands: it’s God. He tells Samuel exactly what to say if he hears the voice again.
When God calls once more, Samuel answers, “Speak, Lord, I want to serve You. I’m listening.” God gives Samuel a hard message about what will happen to Eli’s family because of his sons’ sins. The next morning, Samuel is afraid to share it—but Eli insists, and Samuel tells the truth. Even though Samuel is still young, God has found a messenger who will listen and speak His words.

In this episode, we meet Hannah, a woman who feels very sad because she cannot have a child. During a trip to God’s house, Hannah pours out her heart in a quiet, honest prayer and promises that if God gives her a son, she will dedicate him to the Lord. Eli the priest sees her praying and encourages her, and Hannah chooses to trust God’s care. God answers Hannah’s prayer, and she names her baby Samuel, remembering that he was a gift from the Lord. True to her promise, Hannah later brings Samuel back to serve God, showing what faith, gratitude, and keeping your word look like. A beautiful story that reminds kids God hears prayers, even the whispered ones.

Almost a Footprint
2/19/2026
Send a text
The Shoebox Kids are studying Ruth, but Mrs. Shue has a surprise. They’re putting on a play. Costumes, sandals, and Bible-times names fill the room as Maria becomes Ruth, DeeDee becomes Naomi, and Chris tries to figure out how to play two different characters. After the laughter settles, the class starts talking about something harder: being teased. Chris shares how kids made fun of his real name, Cristóbal, and how he finally shoved one boy after getting pushed too far. The kids compare stories and wonder what Ruth might have done if people called her names.
Mrs. Shue opens the Bible to Jesus’ words in Matthew 5 about loving your enemies and praying for those who hurt you. Chris realizes the “missing piece” was prayer. Jesus was there to help, but he didn’t ask. He calls it “almost a footprint,” and decides that next time, he’ll ask Jesus for strength to be kind, even when someone is cruel.

When a famine strikes Israel, Naomi’s family moves from Bethlehem to Moab. Years later, Naomi loses her husband and both sons, and decides to return home. Ruth, Naomi’s Moabite daughter-in-law, refuses to leave her and makes a beautiful promise: “Where you go, I will go… your God will be my God.” Back in Bethlehem, Ruth gathers leftover barley to help them survive and ends up in the field of Boaz, a kind relative who protects and provides for her. In time, Boaz marries Ruth, Naomi’s family is cared for, and Ruth becomes part of a very special family line that leads to King David. A tender story about faithfulness, kindness, and choosing God.

Willie wants to fit in with the most popular boys at school, but Max and Lucas enjoy teasing others. After they trip up Gary and insult Candy, they plan a cruel “pet day” prank—letting Carmen’s mouse out to be chased by a cat—and pressure Willie to help. Willie prays, thinks about how he’d feel if it were his dog Coco, and quietly says “no,” even though it costs him their friendship. In Sabbath School he adds a “Jesus footprint,” thankful for courage to do what’s right. A real-life story about peer pressure, kindness, and the strength God gives to choose good friends.

An angel tells Manoah’s wife that her baby, Samson, will be a Nazarite—set apart for God. Samson grows super strong, but his choices are not always wise: he plays with danger, makes enemies, and finally tells Delilah the secret of his strength. Captured and blinded, Samson prays for God’s help one last time. God answers, and Samson pushes down the temple pillars, defeating Israel’s enemies and beginning their freedom. This powerful story shows that our strength comes from God, and that He still hears us when we turn back to Him.

Gideon's Shrinking Army

Send us a text
When the Midianites gather a massive force, Gideon is nervous—but God patiently strengthens his faith with two fleece signs. Then God does something surprising: He sends home the fearful, then separates the rest at the river until only three hundred remain. After overhearing a Midianite’s dream that foretells their defeat, Gideon leads his tiny team with trumpets, jars, and hidden lamps. At Gideon’s signal, the jars shatter, lights blaze, and trumpets blast—God throws the enemy into confusion, and Israel wins without a sword swing. Kids learn that God gets the glory, uses small numbers in big ways, and helps us be brave when we feel outnumbered.

A Secret Footprint

Send us a text
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 things right, and noticing how Jesus helps us do the hard but good thing.

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 father’s altar to Baal and build one for the Lord. Even though Gideon feels small, God promises, “I will be with you.” Kids learn that God hears prayers, chooses ordinary people, and gives courage to do what is right.

Pete the Pest

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 even, Sammy asks the teacher if he can tutor Pete, and he spots a “Jesus footprint” in his own heart—God giving power to do the hard thing. A real-life story about kindness, courage, and choosing what Jesus would do.

Five kings join forces to attack Gibeon, and Joshua rushes to help after praying for God’s guidance. God promises to be with Israel.

God makes the sun stand still over Gibeon and the moon pause so Israel can finish the fight. It becomes a day unlike any other because God listened to a leader who trusted Him. Kids will learn to pray first, act with courage, and remember that God keeps His promises.

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 answers to prayer, kinder choices, or help with everyday decisions. Faith grows when we notice the evidence that Jesus is real and working in our lives.

Joshua Gets Tricked!

Send us a text
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 carriers for God’s house. This story teaches discernment, the importance of asking God for guidance, and why keeping our promises matters.

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.

A relatable story about temptation, telling the truth, and how God helps us choose integrity even when no one is watching.

Achan’s Secret

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, and then—following God’s new plan—they return to Ai and win. This sobering story shows that hidden choices can hurt many people, and that God calls His people to honest hearts and obedient lives.
