Generosity is a mark of the Spirit in the Christian life.  For Paul giving is what crosses the boundaries of race, culture, economics, and religious tradition and makes us one in Christ.  In this sermon we explore how responding to human need helps the Christian community get beyond our differences. Also enjoy the San Francisco Boys Choir singing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot."

Nicodemus comes to Jesus wanting an answer to the question "How."  How can one be born again? How can I get into heaven.  How can I believe?  Jesus answers his question with a birth story.  It is not about what you doctrine your hold.  It is not about what works you perform.  It is about your willingness and vulnerability to be born.  You can't birth yourself.  Only the author of life can give you birth from above.  Embrace what you have already been given.
