Yes, from what I remember, they were all Old Testament stories, but all of the Old Testament points to Jesus. The one I remember was the story of Joshua and the Jericho wall. What a great picture of Christ and His blood. (my kids were too old when they came out, although they were popular with teenagers).In the Christian era, to not mention Jesus when teaching Old Testament stories is negligence if not just pure wrong. Think of Jesus and the road to Emmaus.
I like the Cebu song too!

Yes, from what I remember, they were all Old Testament stories, but all of the Old Testament points to Jesus. The sad thing is how many churches look at OT stories as principles for living. David and Goliath is turned into the 5 stones you need. Jacobs ladder is turned into something you need to climb. Christocentric preaching is not happening in many churches.
My wife runs our VBS.
She spends a lot of time with the teachers making sure they understand that the goal of VBS IS NOT to turn out well behaved children, but children who recognize that they need a Savior.
And yes, the Cebu song rocks.
