West End UMC Podcast Audio PodcastWest End UMC Podcast Audio PodcastTrusting ThirstTrusting Thirst – Today is Trinity Sunday, and, in our summer look at psalms, today’s is Psalm 42. The Rev. Will McLeane, Pastor of Spiritual Formation, delivers the sermon. This psalm is full of emotion, pain, and longing as a thirst for God. Thirst is something that connects us to all living beings, and Psalm 42 is based on the desperate thirst for God. Will begins with an article he recently read on how hydration is critical to the players in the French Open tennis tournament. This particular psalm through the centuries has expressed desperation and longing for God. Even the last word...2025-06-1534 minWest End UMC Podcast Audio PodcastWest End UMC Podcast Audio PodcastLenten Meditation for the Friday of Holy WeekRev.

Rev. Will McLeane delivers the sermon, initially recalling that he was taught from an early age not to interrupt! But in this story, there are many interruptions, and most are major...2025-03-3030 minWest End UMC Podcast Audio PodcastWest End UMC Podcast Audio PodcastA Different Kind of FollowerThis is Reign of Christ Sunday, and the scripture reading from John is the encounter between Pilate and Jesus when Pilate asks Jesus if he is king of the Jews. Jesus doesn’t deny it, but he says that his kingdom is not of this world. As Americans we understand monarchy knowing our country was founded upon rebellion against such rule, but Jesus demonstrates that his reign is different – there aren’t people fighting for him in this conflict. Coincidentally, Reign of Christ Sunday was founded in 1925, a hundred years ago, and in his sermon, the Rev. Will McLeane gives some h...2024-11-2426 minWest End UMC Podcast Audio PodcastWest End UMC Podcast Audio PodcastAn Open-Handed FutureAn Open-Handed Future – Today we are following the story of Ruth that we began two Sundays ago when Ruth, leaving her own land, went with Naomi, her mother-in-law, to Naomi’s home in Judah. Ruth, an immigrant in the territory of what had been the enemies of her people, was there out of love for mother-in-law, Naomi. Delivering the sermon on the second part of the Ruth story, Rev. Will McLeane, our Pastor of Spiritual Formation, says that, as widows, they were among the poorest of the people, and Ruth had begun gleaning in the fields in an attempt to prov...2024-11-1031 minWest End UMC Podcast Audio PodcastWest End UMC Podcast Audio PodcastSpeak BlessingToday we continue with the Epistle of James, written to a congregation that the writer feels has strayed. In today’s reading from chapter 3, using some analogies the writer cautions against the harmful words one can utter – a small rudder can change the course of a great ship. Rev. Will McLeane relates an account of John Lewis, about to speak in anger in the midst of the civil rights movement, who was cautioned by Martin Luther King, Jr., and another friend who both challenged Lewis to change to non-violent rhetoric, which he did, and very effectively so. The writer of Jame...2024-09-1524 minFirst Read / ESUMC SermonsFirst Read / ESUMC SermonsGathering Sermon - August 4, 2024 (11th Sunday After Pentecost) [Rev.

Will McLeane is preaching on a story in Mark 3 when Jesus comes to his home, and the crowd is oppressive. The multitudes are there for different reasons: some because of his powers of healing, some because of the words he has spoken, and some who see him as a false prophet and a threat to the status quo. His own family members wonder if he hasn’t gone crazy as others think he may be inhabited by a devil. In the midst of this, Jesus tells a few parables and then asks, “Who are my mother and brothe...2024-06-0934 minWest End UMC Podcast Audio PodcastWest End UMC Podcast Audio PodcastLove Is the WayLove Is the Way – Today we continue a post-Easter series of several weeks of focus on 1 John and the idea of love, that God loves us and that our response to that is to love God in return, but also to love others.

The historical situation is that Ezekiel is with the other Judaic exiles in Babylon, Jerusalem having not only been conquered, but destroyed. Every aspect of their lives has been upended, and they are lost in every sense. In this vision, Ezekiel is led through the restored Jerusalem and sees, flowing from the Temple, a tiny trickle of a stream. He is led further, and as the vision progresses, the trickle becomes a st...2023-07-1628 minEdenton Street UMC SermonsEdenton Street UMC SermonsDigging Deep: The Innovation of Compassion - Digging DeepMessage from Will McLeane on Sep 13, 20202020-09-1300 minEdenton Street UMC SermonsEdenton Street UMC SermonsDigging Deep: Resting in God -
