The Way Up is Down l Luke 9:18-27 l Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

As I’m sure you read yesterday in his blog, Pastor Mark is at home recovering from Bell’s Palsy. I spoke to him, and he sends his warmest greetings to us all. He is in good spirits and looks forward to being back with us all soon. If you didn’t get a chance to read the […]

How to Be For the One l Luke 9:1-17 l Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

Do you remember the first time you ever drove a car? I was probably about 12 or 13 years old and we were at my grandmother’s home in the Republic of Ireland. She lives in the middle of the Wicklow mountains where you are more likely to see a sheep than a human. And on […]

Faith That Releases Power l Luke 8:40-56 l Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

It’s a thin blue line that stands between us and evil… and we are grateful for our protectors, aren’t we? Last week, I spoke on evil; evil that is more evil than we can know. But Jesus is stronger than we can imagine. A simple message, but I received more comments on that sermon than […]

Great Evil, Greater Power l Luke 8:22-39 l Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

Over the last two weeks, we have had a Chinese spy balloon traverse our nation before finally being shot down…and at least three other unidentified “objects” that were also “decommissioned.” Whether or not the last three are of Chinese origin is unclear, but one thing does seem clear: we are being tested. Probed. Our resolve […]

Hear and Do l Luke 8:4-21 l Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

Last summer a generous benefactor of Montreat offered the use of his spectacularly beautiful cabin for college retreats, and so Paul decided to use that space to host our quarterly executive retreat. Everyone else was carpooling, but I live in the Appalachian holler already so I was just going to meet everyone there. Paul called […]

What We Want and What We Need l Luke 7:18-35 l Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

Every month I get to share a meal with our seniors’ ministry—Cornerstones. The meal is delicious, and the portion sizes are generous. Every month I have the same debate … should I eat it all, or leave some? Should I get a dessert, or should I leave it? This debate was heightened this month, because […]

The Gospel for the Self-Righteous l Luke 7:36-50 l Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

Good morning again, Chapel Hill! I am looking forward to digging into God’s Word together this morning. If you would open your Bibles with me to Luke chapter 7. Today we encounter Jesus at a dinner party of a religious leader and something pretty unbelievable happens. The title of our message is The Gospel for […]

Marvelous Faith l Luke 7:1-10 l Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

These are a few of the rocks that sit in the concrete beneath this sanctuary. They were placed there more than 26 years ago by Chapel Hill families who wanted their name to be part of foundation of this building. Did any of you place a stone in this foundation? The rest of us owe […]

How to Weather the Storms of Life l Luke 6:37-49 l Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

Two years ago, we decided to install a 6-foot vinyl fence in our backyard. As I tend to be overconfident, and stingy, I thought I’d do the work myself. As the time approached, I realized I really needed some help, but thankfully a friend of mine who was a general contractor agreed to give me […]

Outrageous Love l Luke 6:27-36 l Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

I hope your New Year is off to a great start. Mine certainly is. I got to baptize my granddaughter last Sunday, January 1. It’s a bit of a bummer when what is likely to be the high point of your year happens on day one! But…I’ll take it as a sign of God’s promise […]
