Prayer Priorities

Posted on October 15, 2025 by pastorjeffsneighborhood

Pray that God will open doors for you to share the love and message of Christ to those you know who need to hear it. Continue reading →

Posted on September 15, 2025 by pastorjeffsneighborhood

But real Christianity is not about trying hard to live by the rules. It is about recognizing that I can’t live by the rules on my own and crying out to God for help.

Don’t let anyone take your freedom. Don’t let others impose unnecessary rules and regulations. Don’t let them look down upon you because you worship and serve Jesus a little differently than they do. Your identity is found in Christ, not in the externals. Open your heart to Jesus and live in intimate fellowship with him. Find the freedom of life lived to the full in the power of the Spirit.

Reckless Abandon

Posted on June 30, 2024 by pastorjeffsneighborhood

Paul may be uncertain about his future, but he is clear about his calling and purpose in life. He senses that the Holy Spirit is preparing him for prison and hardships in the days to come. Would this deter him from his task? Not at all! It seems to only intensify his passion for his God given calling to preaching the gospel. Continue reading →

Good News (Sept 14)

Posted on September 14, 2021 by pastorjeffsneighborhood

Did you notice how abruptly Galatians begins? Paul normally begins with a long thanksgiving passage and then a prayer for the church. But this time, he gets right to the point. His words are pointed and passionate. That should tell you that he was very concerned about the Galatian church–very concerned about any attempt to distort the gospel and keep us from the freedom we have in Christ. Continue reading →
