Our culture is saturated with messages about sex — that it defines you, fulfills you, and that restraint is oppressive. But if that vision is right, why are so many people left with confusion, regret, and shame? Maybe there’s a better way. In this first message of our new series, Questions We’re All Asking, Pastor […]

When the Grave Gave Birth | Acts 2:22-32 | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor
Most of us know what it feels like when tension finally breaks, when the waiting is over and you can breathe again. A child born. An acceptance letter. A diagnosis that came back clear. That exhale. Easter is that feeling, but deeper and more permanent than any single moment. In this Easter message, Pastor Ellis […]

When Letting Go is the Hardest Way to Worship | Psalm 24 | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor
Most of us know what it feels like to collide with something we didn’t see coming. And most conflicts, if we’re honest, aren’t really about information — they’re about control. About who gets to be in charge. In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Ellis walks us through Psalm 24 — a song David wrote hundreds […]
Looking Back, I Still Have a Song to Sing | Psalm 18 | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor
We all know how to curate a story. We choose the angle, the lighting, the caption. The highlight reel version of our lives is technically true — it’s just edited. But most of us don’t know what to do with the other version: the stress, the fear, the long seasons we didn’t expect, the parts […]

The Most Honest Prayer in the Bible | Psalm 51 | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor
In today’s message from our David’s Playlist series, we step into one of the darkest moments in David’s life: his sin with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11).

When You Feel Stuck in a Cave | Psalm 57 | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor
Our culture rewards quick decisions and bold moves. We’re told to seize opportunities, trust our instincts, and act fast before the moment passes. But what happens when an “open door” shows up…and something in your spirit feels unsettled? In this message from David’s Playlist, Pastor Ellis takes us into 1 Samuel 24—a cave, a hunted […]

When You’ve Really Messed Up—Worship Anyway | Psalm 34 | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor
Fear has a way of taking over our story. It makes us reactive, cautious, and sometimes leads us to decisions we wouldn’t normally make. But what happens after we falter? What does worship look like when we’ve made mistakes, when fear has shaped our choices, or when we feel fractured inside? In this message from […]
When Life Falls Apart… Can You Still Worship? | Psalm 59 | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor
What do you do when everything feels stacked against you, when the pressure is constant, the fear is real, and the morning feels far away? Psalm 59 was written in exactly that kind of moment. In this message from our David’s Playlist series, we step into one of the darkest nights of David’s life. Surrounded […]
What if Worship Started with Wonder? | Psalm 8 | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor
In this opening message of our new series David’s Playlist, Pastor Ellis invites us into the songs that shaped King David through every season of life. Long before David was a king, he was an overlooked shepherd spending nights under the stars—learning awe, humility, and worship in obscurity. And in Psalm 8, we see the […]

Free to be Generous | 2 Corinthians 8:1-9 | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor
What would it take for you to live with open hands—to give joyfully, confidently, and freely? Most of us assume the answer is simple: more money. But in 2 Corinthians 8, the apostle Paul points to a church that proves the opposite: overflowing generosity can come from extreme poverty—when hearts are overflowing with grace. In […]
