## About this message

In this message we begin our series in Acts by looking closely at the question the disciples ask Jesus, “Will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” The disciples appear to have misunderstood the mission of Jesus out of a desire to wield earthly power. That very this is something we often face today.
