In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit. <\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Look at this magnificent statement about community. Paul paints a word picture of a temple made of people. We are standing on the original work of Jesus Christ and his servants, the apostles and prophets, but unlike an earthly temple that is finished, this one continues to be built. When we gather with each other the structure rises a little more. We all experience the dynamic power of God\u2019s Spirit as we are built into each other. We are no longer on the outside, so step into God\u2019s living building and allow God\u2019s Spirit to lift you up.\u00a0 ~ Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gracenyc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">GraceNYC.org<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"ylb-container\" style=\"background-color:E6E6E6\">\n                   <a href=\"#\" class=\"ylb-close\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/iowawebnet.com\/havefaith\/wp-content\/plugins\/mtx-license-plugin\/images\/close-icon.png\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t   <p><div style=\"background-color: #F8F8F8; color: #3B5D9B; font-style: italic;  font-size: 10px;\">\r\n<fieldset style=\"border: #FFF dotted 1px;\" >\r\n<legend><strong>Iowa Web Network<\/strong><\/legend>\r\n<span style=\"padding-left: 15px;\">This article is subject to Creative Common License.
