717 Church strives to be a church that is Kingdom-focused, spirit-led, and relationally-driven. Our heart as a church is to grow in relationship with Jesus our King and live out what His Word calls us to. At 717, church happens every Sunday, but we meet in two different ways. The 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month are “gather” weeks. We gather to Worship the King and learn from the Word in community. The 2nd and 4th Sundays are “connect” weeks, where we focus on relationship building and disci ...

We spend a weekend in Richmond, VA as Jude visits friends, preplanning has started for Mac, and we are running out of space at our dining room table. Twisters lets us down while Presumed Innocent is hard not to like. Also the Olympics desecrated our faith.

Money, relationships, jobs, health--they all cause stress and worry. But the Bible tells us that the answer is not more resources or relief from these issues--it is wisdom...which is a full understanding of God's heart, commands and leading. That seems odd because wisdom isn't tangible, but the Lord promises it will bring security, confidence and p…

We live in a time of pervasive and intrusive technology that "knows" everything about us. Rather than panic or give in to this, we need to be reminded that the Lord truly knows us--and especially His children--far more than a camera. He knows our thoughts and scrutinizes our lives to give us strength and encourage us to trust and take refuge in His…

After the fall of man, there was a group of people who "began to call on the Name of the Lord". This has always been the true heritage of God's people, and yet, especially the American Church in 2024 shows little interest or practice or prayer. We may think it makes no difference, or feel embarrassed, but a lack of prayer will only limit us from ex…

When we go through very difficult times, it is easy to wonder why the Lord is allowing it, or to even question His faithfulness--even when there has been abundant evidence of His kindness and help before. When Israel was "trapped" between the Red Sea and Egyptian armies, the Lord called them to move ahead in faith. It's a reminder that He defends u…

As we walk intentionally in this new life in Christ, we must not only "walk worthy of the Lord, pleasing Him in every way", but we also must be encouraging each other to do the same. Even while in jail, the apostle Paul had co-labourers who stepped up to faithfully serve in simple ways, with the mindset of a bondservant. This greatly encouraged Pau…

Two of our high school graduates who are called by the Lord powerfully share what the Lord has been teaching them. Matthew Rhoads shares from James 1 about trusting the Lord at all times, even in trials, and as the passage says, "taking control of your joy". Nicolas Lopez talks from Acts 4 about the need to disciple others in the fullness of God an…

Often, we can become "frustrated" with the Lord when we face unhappiness or difficulty. We may see Him as unfair, simply because we don't understand or agree with His will. So the apostle Paul gives us 5 basic instructions at the start of Colossians 4, designed to keep us in the right mindset and also equip us for evangelism and discipling others. …

As a new creation in Christ, living sacrificially under Christ's Lordship, our relationships can't be selfish anymore. Sin, pride, and indifference can hinder us from being humble selfless, which is critical for us to be like Christ. It also greatly improves the relationships of husbands and wives, parents and kids, and servants and masters. When w…

As we weigh the amazing work Christ has done to redeem us, and the calling to live as a new creation in Christ, it's important to ask: "How does the Lord want me to live?"

Because Jesus has saved us from death to life, and is now our Lord and the Head of our lives, our old life has absolutely no place in anything we do as believers. So the Lord gives us the imperative direction to "put to death" and deprive sin of having any power. He says they can become idols to us. So we have to resist justifying impurity and vola…
