This week Pastor TC kicks off the devotion on "The Ten Commandments" found in the book of Deuteronomy. We generally and traditionally look at the commandments as something God forbids; we look at them as guides for our general behaviour but we don't look at them as something that puts a spotlight on the condition and state of our hearts. Today, we look at the first commandment "You shall have no gods before me". Is God something that you are passionately pursing?

In part six of the teaching on "Moving On Maturity", Pastor Craig expounds on the characteristics and functions of the Prophetic, Evangelistic, Shepherd/Pastor and Teaching gifts.  All five APEST gifts are unique and work in the body to bring balance and help the body to grow and mature. 

Physical houses are built by the wisdom and understanding of man. In the book of Proverbs 24 verses 3 and 4 we see that spiritual houses are built with God’s wisdom and established with His understanding. 

This week we have been exploring the questions God asks Adam and understand the meaning and heart behind those questions. 

As we look at Genesis 3, Pastor TC reveals how the enemy condemns and tempts us. When the enemy condemns, he plays up God's wrath and plays down His love and when the enemy tempts, he plays up God's love and plays down His wrath. 

We all battle with the voice of condemnation, just as Adam did in Genesis 9 when he told God he was "naked" but God asks him "Who told you that you were naked?" Adam felt uncovered, unloved by God; thus his condemnation. In this episode, Pastor TC beckons that we don't hide but to return to God and accept his gift of love that is free and unearned.

In the second part of the question that God asks Adam "Where are you?" we learn that God is a redeeming God. His signature move is redemption, and that is how he responds to sinners. 

In this episode, Pastor TC reviews Genesis 3:9 where God is asking Adam the question "Where are you?" This question reveals that God is a seeking God. 

"5-Fold Ministries / APEST / Ascension Gifts are to be used to elevate ONLY Jesus! They are not to be taken as a license for a title or to elevate a person".  

In Part 4 of the teaching on maturity, Pastor Craig expounds on the characters, functions and dysfunctions of those who have the Apostolic gift in the body of Christ.

Pastor Craig shares from Proverbs 10:30-32. Walk the path of wisdom no matter what you are facing in life. Stand on God’s Word and His promises. 

In today's devotion Gareth Jones shares on Hate & Love.  These are 2 forces that exist in this world and we all experience.
