Sermon Overview & Discussion Questions: "We Cannot Help But Speak"

Overview of Sermon: 
The Jewish leaders were greatly annoyed when they found Peter and John proclaiming the gospel and teaching the people. They arrested and questioned Peter and John. As this court room drama unfolds, the Jewish leaders oppose Peter and John and try to suppress the spread of the gospel. However, Peter and John respond with Spirit-filled courage and clarity. From this passage we learn that even though sinful humanity will try to stop believers from speaking in the name of Jesus, the gospel is unstoppable! Therefore, do not stop speaking in the name of Jesus.
