What is the Invitation? | Isaiah 55:1-13 | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

The free weekend that turns into a timeshare pitch. The free trial you forgot to cancel. We’ve all learned the same lesson: if it’s free, check for the catch. So when Isaiah 55 opens with God’s own marketplace cry — “come, buy… without money and without cost” — it’s fair to ask: what’s the catch? […]

What is the Message of Revival? | Isaiah 52:13-53:12 | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

Young woman or old woman? The image looks completely different depending on what you’re told to look for. Pastor Ellis continues our Heart of Revival series in Isaiah 52-53 — a 700-year-old prophecy about Jesus that works the exact same way. Five times over, what looks like ruin turns out, on closer look, to be […]

What is the Heart of Revival? | Isaiah 49:8-50:3 | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

Did you know God has your name tattooed on his hands? Pastor Ellis continues our Heart of Revival series in Isaiah 49-50, unpacking three lies that keep us from believing revival could ever reach us: that God has forgotten us, that whatever holds us captive is stronger than he is, and that we’re too far […]

Whom Will God Use? | Isaiah 49:1–7 | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

#ChapelHillPC #HeartOfRevival #gigharbor If God decided to bring revival to Gig Harbor, would you assume he meant to use somebody else? Pastor Ellis continues our Heart of Revival series in Isaiah 49, tracing the surprising identity of God’s Servant—from Israel, to Jesus, and now to the Church. God doesn’t only use the impressive, gifted, or […]

Is Revival Coming? | Isaiah 40:12–31 | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

Eagles can soar for hours without a single wingbeat. Most of us live more like chickens — flapping hard just to get a few feet off the ground. Pastor Ellis continues our Heart of Revival series in Isaiah 40, naming five things that make revival feel impossible: human expertise, global superpowers, modern idols, powerful people, […]

What is Revival? | Isaiah 40:1-11 | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

In February 2023, a chapel service at Asbury University turned into two weeks of nonstop worship and prayer, drawing an estimated 50,000 people from around the world. People called it revival. But what actually is it — and would we recognize it if God sent it here? Pastor Ellis kicks off our new fall series, […]

How Can I Bear Spiritual Fruit? | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

We close out Come Holy Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23, asking what it actually takes to grow real, lasting fruit — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Pastor Ellis shows that the conditions for fruit aren’t mysterious or dramatic: prayer, Scripture, and community, lived out over time, abiding in the vine. The […]

What are Spiritual Gifts? | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

Are spiritual gifts a reward for the super-spiritual? Only for a select few? Just for you? Pastor Ellis tackles three common misconceptions about spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians 12:4-7, week four of our Come Holy Spirit series. You’ll walk away seeing why the gifts aren’t earned, aren’t reserved for a spiritual elite, and aren’t ultimately […]

How Can I Be Filled with the Spirit? | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

A balloon can be full — and still be filled more. That’s the picture Pastor Ellis uses in week three of Come Holy Spirit to unpack Ephesians 5:18-21 and Paul’s command to “be filled with the Spirit.” Every believer has the Spirit. But being filled is different — it’s an ongoing rhythm, not a one-time […]

How Does the Holy Spirit Work? | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

The Holy Spirit’s greatest miracle isn’t tongues, healing, or prophecy — it’s bringing spiritually dead people to life. Pastor Ellis continues our Come Holy Spirit series with the story of Nicodemus in John 3, showing what it means to be “born again” and why that changes everything about how we understand our own transformation. If […]
