    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."

    Westminster Talking the Text Podcast for Sunday, August 2nd, 2026 | Matthew 14:13-21 | with Donovan Drake, Guy D. Griffith, and Will Wellman Jesus feeds 5000  14:13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place by himself.

    Westminster Talking the Text Podcast for Sunday, July 26th, 2026 | Romans 8:26-39 | with Guy D. Griffith, Ashley Higgins, and Sarah Bird Kneff

    Westminster Talking the Text Podcast for Sunday, July 26th, 2026 | Romans 8:26-39 | with Guy D. Griffith, Ashley Higgins, and Sarah Bird Kneff Romans 8:26-39 Nothing can separate us from God's love  8:26Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with groanings too deep for words. 8:27And God, who searches hearts, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 8:28We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. 8:29For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn within a large family. 8:30And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. 8:31What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 8:32He who did not withhold his own Son but gave him up for all of us, how will he not with him also give us everything else? 8:33Who will bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 8:34Who is to condemn? It is Christ who died, or rather, who was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. 8:35Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword? 8:36As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered." 8:37No, in all these things we are more than victorious through him who loved us. 8:38For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 8:39nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    Westminster Talking the Text Podcast for Sunday, July 19th, 2026 | Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 | with Sarah Bird Kneff, Sophie Maness, Stephanie Boaz, and Will Wellman Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 The parable of the weeds 13:24He put before them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field, 13:25but while everybody was asleep an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and then went away. 13:26So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well. 13:27And the slaves of the householder came and said to him, 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where, then, did these weeds come from?' 13:28He answered, 'An enemy has done this.' The slaves said to him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them?' 13:29But he replied, 'No, for in gathering the weeds you would uproot the wheat along with them. 13:30Let both of them grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Collect the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.'" 13:36Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples approached him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field." 13:37He answered, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man; 13:38the field is the world, and the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the weeds are the children of the evil one, 13:39and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 13:40Just as the weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. 13:41The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, 13:42and they will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 13:43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
