Keep the Fire Burning

Posted on February 18, 2025 by pastorjeffsneighborhood

Fellowship with others who share your passion also keeps the fire burning. You don’t build a fire with one log. You build the fire by having several logs in close proximity. To keep the fire burning brightly you keep adding logs to the fire. So it is with our spiritual passion, it is difficult to remain strong apart from a group of others who will keep you burning bright. Continue reading →

A Solitary Place

Posted on February 16, 2025 by pastorjeffsneighborhood

We dare not neglect the solitary place—the place where we can get alone and meet with our Heavenly Father—to have intimate conversation with the one who loves us most. Find a quiet place and pour out your heart to him. Make it a daily practice and don’t let anything crowd out those special times in your schedule. Continue reading →

Shining Faces

Posted on February 12, 2025 by pastorjeffsneighborhood

True Christianity is a relationship with Christ. As we spend time with Him, we reflect more and more of his character. Our whole being reflects his glory (2 Corinthians 3). Not only our faces, but our whole being and lifestyle reflects the glory of Christ within. Continue reading →

Praying and Going

Posted on January 14, 2025 by pastorjeffsneighborhood

A Risk of Faith

Posted on January 13, 2025 by pastorjeffsneighborhood

What is your need? Come, like the woman, take a risk of faith. Cry out, like the blind men, for the grace and mercy of Jesus. It is amazing to see what blessings are brought about as we believe. May it be done according to your faith! Continue reading →

Lukewarm

Posted on December 12, 2024 by pastorjeffsneighborhood

As with any relationship, our relationship with the Lord can over time become “lukewarm.” In such times, we lack the passion, the desire, the zeal we once had. We get sloppy about our obedience. We often think we “have it together,” but it’s clear that something is just not right. Continue reading →

Your First Love

Posted on December 10, 2024 by pastorjeffsneighborhood

Yet there was one glaring fault in the Ephesian church. They had lost their first love. It’s easy to do. We do the right things, but it becomes more of a ritual rather than a relationship. We go through the motions, but have lost the intensity of feeling and devotion we had at first. Continue reading →

Trouble

Posted on November 29, 2024 by pastorjeffsneighborhood

Standing strong in a world of compromise will often mean being out of step with others. They often will not understand. They may even persecute you. But know that whatever trouble you find yourself in, God will not forget you. He sees your integrity and will be there through it all. He can even shut the mouths of lions, if necessary. So stand strong. Be of good courage. Press forward with integrity and keep trusting in your God. Continue reading →
