Ephesians 2:20-22 

You are like a building that was built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. Christ Jesus himself is the most important stone in that building.

The whole building is joined together in Christ. And it rises and becomes a holy temple in the Lord.

And in Christ you too are being built together with the Jews.

You are being built into a place where God lives through the Spirit.

에베소서 20-22 너희는 사도들과 선지자들의 터 위에 세우심을 입은 자라 그리스도 예수께서 친히 모퉁이돌이 되셨느니라

그의 안에서 건물마다 서로 연결하여 주 안에서 성전이 되어 가고

너희도 성령 안에서 하나님이 거하실 처소가 되기 위하여 그리스도 예수 안에서 함께 지어져 가느니라

We're built together to become a holy temple where God lives! 

We are all one building in Jesus, no matter who we are or where we come from. God is building something beautiful. And we're all part of it-together

우리 말씀 중간에 봤던 Redwoods 나무를 기억해봐요! 

Redwoods are tallest trees in the world! The tallest tree in Muir Wood National Park, San Fransisco, is about 80 meters high! 

That's like a 26-story apartment building and they can live for almost 1,000 years! 

You might think a tree that grows over 80-90 meters tall needs really deep roots, right? But redwoods are surprising! 

Their roots are actually very shallow - only about 2-3 meters deep, but they don't fall over in storms. Why not? 

Because their roots spread out wide, not deep. They connect with the roots of the other trees around them. 

The redwoods hold on to each other underground.

We are all connected!!! like redwoods!

We grow stronger when we hold on to each other with love, with kindness, with God's help!

Happy Birthday to you!!! July Birthday friends!
