Last week we kicked off the EXTREME series with a look at the Extreme Invasion and discovered that we are part of an extreme movement to change the world. But are we really supposed to be a part of it? Well, that is a good question – so let’s answer it right now as clearly as possible YES! You are a part of the Extreme Invasion. Each of us have a call on our lives, given to us by Jesus, and that extreme calling is what allows us to really come alive. So today, we tackle the topic of Extreme Calling and discover … us! It will be fun – let’s get extreme!

What if we were to take Jesus seriously as He calls us to be “grinders”?
What if we were to return to the truth about faith that Jesus taught us?
What if we let go of sanitized and civilized Christianity and decided to live out the powerful and real faith that chooses revolution over compromise, risk over safety, and passion over lukewarm, watered-down religion?
Well, those are a lot of “what ifs” and the conclusion has to be found in this answer – “Well, if we did those “what ifs” it would be pretty extreme!
Yes, you are correct – it would be in a word – extreme…which is exactly who you were created to be!
Get ready – the Extreme Invasion begins today!

As we wrap up our series, “The Leap,” today we dive into a powerful conclusion “Heaven’s Freefall.”
Our passage comes from Hebrews 11:32-40, where we find a hall of fame for faith—heroes who leaped into the unknown, trusting God with their futures, even when they couldn’t see the landing.
Just like those heroes of faith, we are called to take daring leaps, embracing the unknown with trust and courage.

Today, we are continuing our series called “The Leap,” and our focus is on “Chains and Great Escapes.” Our scripture comes from Acts 16:16-34, where we witness Paul and Silas in an incredible predicament, bound in chains but ultimately breaking free through faith. To further bring this story to life, we will visit with legendary escapologist, Harry Houdini—an expert at turning impossible situations into remarkable escapes. It will be a great day – get ready to break a few chains and make a great escape!

Today, we continue our series called “The Leap,” and our second message is titled “Flames and Tightropes.” Last week we ‘revved the engines on faith’ and began to explore the importance of taking a leap of faith. This week, we start getting into the specifics of what to expect and what a leap of faith can look like. Each week we have featured a daredevil as a way to illustrate some faith lessons. Last week it was Evel Knievel and we learned that faith might seem crazy to some, until you stick the landing. This week we discover that there is always an element of risk involved and we slide out onto the high wire with Nik Wallenda. It will be fun, life changing, and practical – let’s get started!
