Weekly sermons from Zionsville United Methodist Church in Zionsville, IN. Welcome to Zionsville United Methodist Church!
We believe love is the most powerful force in the world and the truest reflection of who God is. Love shapes our words, our worship and the way we see one another. Together, we bring our perspectives and rhythms of faith to form something beautiful—a story anchored in grace, redemption and care that has been told and retold for generations and is continuing to unfold in us today. We’re still growing, still learning, still becoming who God created us to be. And through it all, we trust this truth: there’s enough time, enough grace and enough love to go around.
Because love changes everything!

He was the runt of the family. His own father didn’t even call him by name when the prophet showed up to anoint the next king of Israel. And yet David went on to be mentioned more than 600 times in Scripture, author half the Psalms, and preside over what history remembers as Israel’s golden age. More importantly, he’s the only person in the Bible described as “a man after God’s own heart.” This message takes a close look at the most famous battle in history — not to retell a familiar Sunday school story, but to pull out five specific, transferable lessons for anyone facing something overwhelming right now. A giant isn’t always nine feet tall and wearing bronze armor. Sometimes it’s a diagnosis, a habit, a fear, a financial hole, or a voice in your head that keeps telling you you’ll never get past this. The five smooth stones David carried into that valley are available to anyone willing to pick them up.

Portraits of Faith, Week 6 - Resilience
Listen to the October 4, 2026 Sunday worship service from Zionsville United Methodist Church in Zionsville, IN.
She's been called a prostitute, a secret lover, a reformed adulteress. None of it holds up to careful reading. Mary Magdalene was something far more interesting than any of those labels — she was the first person to see the risen Christ, precisely because she refused to leave. When the disciples went home, she stayed. When the tomb was empty and her grief was overwhelming, she kept asking her question: where have they taken him? And when Jesus finally spoke her name, her eyes were opened to see what she had been searching for. This message — preached on Worship in Pink Sunday, as the congregation honored those who have faced cancer, and at the beginning of Mental Health Awareness Week — uses the parallel between Mary's story and the Song of Songs to explore what resilience actually looks like. Not strength without pain. Not faith without tears. But the stubborn, persistent, searching love that stays in the waiting until it hears its name called.

Portraits of Faith, Week 5 - Inclusion
Listen to the September 27, 2026 Sunday worship service from Zionsville United Methodist Church in Zionsville, IN.
AJ Jacobs spent three years tracing his family tree and ended up with 190 million relatives. His conclusion: if you go back far enough, pretty much anyone could be family. Matthew's Gospel makes a similar argument in its opening chapter — except the family tree belongs to Jesus, and the people Matthew deliberately inserts into it are two women nobody would have expected to see there. Rahab was a Canaanite sex worker from Jericho who hid Israelite spies and risked everything for a people not her own. Ruth was a Moabite widow who refused to abandon her mother-in-law and walked into a foreign land with nothing. Both were outsiders. Both were included. And the argument this message makes is that their inclusion wasn't accidental — it shaped the very character of the men who came after them, all the way to the greatest king in Israel's history and ultimately to Jesus himself. This is a message about what inclusion actually costs, what it actually opens up, and why it has always been at the heart of God's story.
