Wide Open, Week 9: Love Your Enemies

Listen to the June 14, 2026 Sunday worship service from Zionsville United Methodist Church in Zionsville, IN. In March 1965, a group of voting rights marchers tried to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, and were met with horses and bullwhips. The nation watched it happen on the evening news. Within days, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. put out a call for help — and a classroom full of seminary students in Boston had to decide whether to answer it. One of them was a second-year student from South Dakota named Kent Millard. He boarded an overnight bus to Selma not knowing if he'd come home. He marched to the courthouse steps, surrounded by hecklers and state troopers, paired up with a woman from Selma who looked at his face and said, "You march with me and you'll be alright." And then, before they marched, a pastor asked everyone to bow their heads — and pray for the people across the street who wanted to hurt them. Twenty-five years later, Rev. Dr. Kent Millard told that story to a room full of Alabama pastors. Afterward, a man came up to him in tears. He had been one of the highway patrolmen that day. And he wanted to explain what had happened to him since. This Sunday's message, preached at Zionsville UMC during Pastor Dave's sabbatical, is Rev. Millard's firsthand account of what it actually looks like to take Jesus seriously when he says to love your enemies and pray for those who are against you — not as a nice idea, but as the only thing that has ever truly changed a hardened heart. In a country that often feels just as divided now as it did then, this one is worth sitting with.

Wide Open, Week 8: VBS Sunday

Listen to the June 7, 2026 Sunday worship service from Zionsville United Methodist Church in Zionsville, IN. A volunteer stopped at Starbucks on her way to VBS and sparked a conversation about faith that was still going when she left. A little girl went home and told her mom they thanked God every day for Cheez-Its. These are the kinds of stories that come out of a week like this one. This Sunday's message recaps Rainforest Falls VBS at Zionsville UMC — not just the highlights, but the heart behind why we do it in the first place. Because faith in kids doesn't work like a light switch. For some it's an alarm clock, one moment of sudden clarity. For others it's a sunrise, slow and steady and just as real. Either way, what children need most are caring adults who show up, share their own stories, and create space for questions. Oh — and the kids raised $4,300 for Mission Guatemala. Not bad for a week's work.

Wide Open, Week 7: Transformational Worship

Listen to the May 31, 2026 Sunday worship service from Zionsville United Methodist Church in Zionsville, IN. A man once called his worship pastor not to complain about the music — which apparently does happen — but to ask for a recommendation for a voice teacher. Not because he wanted to join the choir. Because he wanted to become a better worshiper. That story opens a message that takes a serious and surprisingly practical look at what worship actually is, why it matters, and what gets in the way. Drawing from the book of Revelation's glimpses of worship in heaven, this message walks through what it looks like to worship with focus, with passion, and with the kind of generosity toward others that sets aside personal preference for the sake of something bigger. Whether you've been going through the motions on Sunday mornings or genuinely want to go deeper, this one gives you something concrete to work with.
