The Challenge of Obedience
You're Asking the Wrong Question
Are you asking God for the wrong thing?
In this Bible study through Acts of the Apostles 1:4–14, we look at how the disciples were focused on restoring an earthly kingdom, while Jesus was preparing them for something much greater—the power of the Holy Spirit and a mission that would reach the world.
Just like them, we often ask:
“When will my situation change?”
“When will God fix this?”
“When will things go my way?”
But Jesus shifts the question: Are you focused on what God will do for you… or what He wants to do through you?
In this message, we explore:
• Why the disciples misunderstood Jesus’ mission
• What it means to wait for the promise of the Holy Spirit
• How our questions reveal our focus
• Why obedience matters more than having every answer
• How God calls us to build His kingdom, not our own
If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting on God, confused about His timing, or frustrated because life isn’t going the way you expected, this study will challenge and encourage you.
