    Westminster Talking the Text Podcast for Sunday, September 27, 2026 | Philippians 2:1-13 | with Donovan Drake, Ashley Higgins, and Stephanie Boaz

    Westminster Talking the Text Podcast for Sunday, September 27, 2026 | Philippians 2:1-13 | with Donovan Drake, Ashley Higgins, and Stephanie Boaz Philippians 2:1-13 Christ humbled to the point of death  2:1 If, then, there is any comfort in Christ, any consolation from love, any partnership in the Spirit, any tender affection and sympathy, 2:2 make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 2:3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or empty conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. 2:4 Let each of you look not to your own interests but to the interests of others. 2:5 Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, 2:6 who, though he existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped, 2:7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, assuming human likeness. And being found in appearance as a human, 2:8 he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death-- even death on a cross. 2:9 Therefore God exalted him even more highly and gave him the name that is above every other name, 2:10 so that at the name given to Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 2:11 and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me, not only in my presence but much more now in my absence, work on your own salvation with fear and trembling, 2:13 for it is God who is at work in you, enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

    Westminster Talking the Text Podcast for Sunday, September 20, 2026 | Matthew 20:1-16 | with Donovan Drake, Guy D. Griffith, Ashley Higgins, and Stephanie Boaz. Matthew 20:1-16 The parable of the vineyard workers  20:1"For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 20:2After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius for the day, he sent them into his vineyard. 20:3When he went out about nine o'clock, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 20:4and he said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.' So they went. 20:5When he went out again about noon and about three o'clock, he did the same. 20:6And about five o'clock he went out and found others standing around, and he said to them, 'Why are you standing here idle all day?' 20:7They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard.' 20:8When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, 'Call the laborers and give them their pay, beginning with the last and then going to the first.' 20:9When those hired about five o'clock came, each of them received a denarius. 20:10Now when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius. 20:11And when they received it, they grumbled against the landowner, 20:12saying, 'These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.' 20:13But he replied to one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius? 20:14Take what belongs to you and go; I choose to give to this last the same as I give to you. 20:15Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?' 20:16So the last will be first, and the first will be last." Discover more about the welcoming community at Westminster Presbyterian Church!

    Westminster Talking the Text Podcast for Sunday, September 13, 2026 | Romans 14:1-12 | with Donovan Drake, Guy D. Griffith, Ashley Higgins, and Sarah Bird Kneff.

    Westminster Talking the Text Podcast for Sunday, September 13, 2026 | Romans 14:1-12 | with Donovan Drake, Guy D. Griffith, Ashley Higgins, and Sarah Bird Kneff. Romans 14:1-12 14:1 Welcome those who are weak in faith but not for the purpose of quarreling over opinions. 14:2 Some believe in eating anything, while the weak eat only vegetables. 14:3 Those who eat must not despise those who abstain, and those who abstain must not pass judgment on those who eat, for God has welcomed them. 14:4 Who are you to pass judgment on slaves of another? It is before their own lord that they stand or fall. And they will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make them stand. 14:5 Some judge one day to be better than another, while others judge all days to be alike. Let all be fully convinced in their own minds. 14:6 Those who observe the day, observe it for the Lord. Also those who eat, eat for the Lord, since they give thanks to God; while those who abstain, abstain for the Lord and give thanks to God. 14:7 For we do not live to ourselves, and we do not die to ourselves. 14:8 If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. 14:9 For to this end Christ died and lived again, so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 14:10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother or sister? Or you, why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. 14:11 For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give praise to God." 14:12 So then, each one of us will be held accountable to God.

    Westminster Talking the Text Podcast for Sunday, September 6th, 2026 | Romans 13:8-14 | with Guy D. Griffith, Ashley Higgins, and Stephanie Boaz Romans 13:8-14 Live honorably as in the day  13:8Owe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. 13:9The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery; you shall not murder; you shall not steal; you shall not covet," and any other commandment, are summed up in this word, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 13:10Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law. 13:11Besides this, you know what time it is, how it is already the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers; 13:12the night is far gone; the day is near. Let us then throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; 13:13let us walk decently as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in illicit sex and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy. 13:14Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

    Westminster Talking the Text Podcast for Sunday, August 9th, 2026 | 1 Kings 19:9-18 | with Donovan Drake, Guy D. Griffith, Ashley Higgins, and Stephanie Boaz 1 Kings 19:9-18 Elijah on Mount Horeb  19:9At that place he came to a cave and spent the night there. Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "What are you doing here, Elijah?" 19:10He answered, "I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts, for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are seeking my life, to take it away." 19:11He said, "Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by." Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake, 19:12and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire, and after the fire a sound of sheer silence. 19:13When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Then there came a voice to him that said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?" 19:14He answered, "I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts, for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are seeking my life, to take it away." 19:15Then the LORD said to him, "Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; when you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael as king over Aram. 19:16Also you shall anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king over Israel, and you shall anoint Elisha son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah as prophet in your place. 19:17Whoever escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu shall kill, and whoever escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall kill. 19:18Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him."
