Free From Debt | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

In this message, Pastor Ellis continues our Unchained series by talking honestly about freedom from debt—and sharing a simple, upside-down plan that Scripture lays out for financial health:

God’s order isn’t: Live → Save → Give
God’s order is: Give → Save → Live

Through everyday stories (overdraft alerts, Goldfish crackers, tightrope walkers, and even a closet overflow), you’ll hear practical steps for building a new pattern:

Put God first through generous, faith-filled giving

Build a safety net through wise saving (starting with an emergency fund)

Learn contentment and structure through budgeting and living within limits

And at the heart of it all is the gospel: we were all in a debt we could never repay—until Jesus paid it in full. His grace frees us from shame and invites us into a new way of living.
