Talksheet update

I used the first talksheet in the Middle School book yesterday in Sunday School, and I was pleasantly surprised as to how well my kids did with it. We talked about prophecy versus predictions, and they loved trying to figure out what things would look like in 100 years [The group concluded that everything would run on holograms and virtual reality]. Then we got talking about how the Israelites had all this prophecy about Jesus, but a lot of them didn't believe it, which led to a conversation about how hard it is to "prove" God to people, and that it might be easier for them to see it lived out in our lives. It was a great discussion, and it took about 40 minutes to complete the lesson. I'm excited to continue this book with them, because they seem to respond well to it.
