In 2009, Lluis Colet set the World Record for the longest speech by talking for 124 hours without stopping! Colet filled the five days by reading a 700-page speech about art, politics, and other subjects. Even when he was tired, hungry, or had to use the restroom, Lluis Colet kept talking no matter what! 
 
As Peter and John shared about Jesus, some of the religious leaders wanted them to keep quiet. Even when they told Peter to never preach the name of Jesus again, Peter couldn’t keep quiet. He kept on sharing so that more and more people would hear about Jesus. God had given Peter and John the power and boldness to tell others about Jesus no matter what! 
 
There were probably times when Peter was tired, and maybe some other times when he was scared. It wasn’t easy for Peter to face the angry crowd that recently crucified Jesus. So why did Peter keep preaching? Peter continued to preach because he knew that the good news of Jesus is exactly what everyone needs to hear. Peter couldn’t keep quiet because he wanted everyone to know the saving power of Jesus!  
  
Peter continued to preach about Jesus even when it was difficult. Not even the religious leaders could stop Jesus’ followers from sharing the good news about Jesus. The gospel is great news that we must share if we believe in Jesus Christ.

For Fun
Invite each family member to draw a name from the remaining family members to be their secret encourager. Explain that each secret encourager should write notes, give gifts, or do chores for the selected family member throughout the week. Remind kids that the Bible includes some of Peter’s letters, which were written as an encouragement for his brothers and sisters in Christ when they faced hard times.

To Serve
Ask your church for a list of members who cannot physically attend church. Offer to visit the church member and deliver a meal and Bible study materials from the church. Talk with kids about the benefits of being a part of the church, which includes working together to share the gospel and supporting one another when we face hard times.
