This morning we read the Christmas story from Luke’s gospel. Merry Christmas from all of us here at Thursday Quick Thought! …it’s just me…but still…Merry Christmas!
View Details
This morning we discuss answering a fool according to his folly, but also not answering a fool according to his folly.
View Details
This morning we discuss different things we pick up instead of picking up our cross to follow Jesus.
View Details
This is one way to ensure you don’t waste your life.
View Details
“Pray without ceasing” also includes setting aside time alone for focussed prayer.
View Details
“What binds the true church together is not a task but a person.”
View Details
This morning we discuss the attitude of Job vs the attitude of entitlement.
View Details
My final thought from my study of the book of Nehemiah: hold fast to the love of Jesus.
View Details
Do we think as highly of God as our kids think of us?
View Details
“Faith over fear” does not mean the absence of fear. It just means your faith is greater than your fear.
View Details
Never use the word “never” and always avoid the word “always.” Great relationship advice that Paul completely ignores.
View Details
Because of our short memories, we need to continually step back and remember the faithfulness of our God. When we do that, we will see that praise is the right response.
View Details
“I saw God, among the absurd and ironic, in what made no sense to the conventional wisdom of my expectations.”
View Details
This morning’s Quick Thought was inspired by a conversation on The Happy Rant Podcast. We’ll talk a bit about it, then we’ll listen to the clip.
View Details
This morning we reflect on how the difficult times in our lives are not wasted. God directs our path by both opening and closing doors.
View Details
We need to take God seriously and ourselves way more lightly.
View Details
Godly community is something we do intentionally. One of the ways we achieve it is through sacrifice.
View Details
Even when we mess up, God keeps the covenant that was made with us through Christ.
View Details
Ours is a God who multiplies the little we have to offer.
View Details
Is the fact that God is always with us good news or just anxiety inducing?
View Details
Just because you are free does not mean you have no responsibility.
View Details
This morning we talk about how once you see Jesus, you can’t unsee Him.
View Details
What it is that grounds us as we choose our own adventure?
View Details
We often remember our sin and forget His forgiveness.
View Details
The joy of the Lord is your strength! But…why? And what does that even mean?
View Details
When we trust in God as our refuge, we can remain calm in the storm.
View Details
God doesn’t always answer “yes, no or not yet.” Sometimes He just promises to be with us.
View Details
God’s not mad at you, He’s just got something better.
View Details
God is our patient, forgiving, and intimate Father who loves us despite our performance.
View Details
Thank God we don’t get what we deserve! It is by grace we have been saved.
View Details
This week we discuss Jesus’ call for us to love our enemies.
View Details
God’s thoughts are higher than our thoughts, and His ways are higher than our ways.
View Details
Jesus promises to help us live freely and lightly if we walk with Him and work with Him.
View Details
This morning on Thursday Quick Thought we read a section from Judah Smith’s “Jesus Is…” book and consider the meaning of life.
View Details
Do we come to God looking for answers to questions or looking for loopholes?
View Details
Paul tells Philemon that the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through him. Are we the kind of people who are draining or refreshing?
View Details
To Jesus, it wasn’t just about right and wrong, it was also about pride and humility.
View Details
You don’t change people by judging them, you change people by loving them.
View Details
If you are falling apart under the surface, Jesus invites you to find rest in Him.
View Details
Jesus promises to be with you always. But who does it apply to? Do you have to be perfect for Him to stay? What does it even mean?
View Details
I've got no answers
For heartbreaks or cancers
But a Savior who suffers them with me
View Details
Don’t just love people to check a box, but really be there.
View Details
If you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Heavenly Father give you the Holy Spirit.
View Details
Don’t be like Uncle Rico. Live in the present and trust that God’s plan is better than your plan.
View Details
What if freedom isn’t found in escaping, but in staying?
View Details
Though you may feel insignificant, God’s love makes you significant.
View Details
Do you know God conceptually or do you know Him relationally?
View Details
We need to lead with grace when we don’t have all the information…which is almost 100% of the time.
View Details
It is important that we know the truth so we can navigate this world when it gets dark.
View Details
When you only attend the church event, you miss out on so much. So, stop just attending church and start being the church.
View Details
Why don’t we pray like we should? What is prayer not?
View Details
Prayer is not an event, but rather, a relationship. God doesn’t show up when we pray, because He is already there.
View Details
Only the living water Jesus offers can satisfy our soul-level thirst.
View Details
This is a season of joy…but for some, it comes with pain.
View Details
In this life it can be hard to catch your footing sometimes.
View Details
We are called to be ambassadors of Christ, so how well are we representing him?
View Details
You can’t always change your circumstances, but you can change your perspective.
View Details
Let us not become so high on ourselves that Jesus becomes lost in our shadow.
View Details
You are not defined by your feelings but by your Saviour.
View Details
God is asking you the same question He asked Adam. Not because He doesn’t know the answer, but because of His great love for you.
View Details
Jesus wins! The knowledge of that should push us to enjoy every second.
View Details
Sometimes those closest to Jesus actually reflect him the least.
View Details
It is mind blowing that Jesus knows everything about us, yet still chooses to love us.

It is not Jesus plus good works, or Jesus plus religion, or Jesus plus anything.
View Details
Let’s do everything we can to live for that moment.
View Details
It’s not about behaviour management, but about the love of Jesus.
View Details
God is never surprised by what happens. He is in control.

We can be sure Christ is for us and not against us, not by our situations, but by His death on the cross.

Reading the Bible as if it’s about you will distort your view of Jesus and your need for Him.
View Details
What would happen if we would allow ourselves to be interrupted?
View Details
Sometimes we need to endure the right thing to find joy.
View Details
This is not just a one time ‘Black Out Tuesday,’ but rather a battle we must engage in every single day. Dr. Eric Mason encourages us to speak up!

View Details
We are all carriers of something. Is what you are carrying worth catching?

God used weird, messed up people in the family line of Jesus to prove that you are never too far gone to be used by God.
