"Weatherby to 65. Shots fired, shots fired." Some calls are dangerous the minute they come in. That is week two of Jesus' Own Man.

Kevin Weatherby rides Luke 10, where Jesus sends seventy-two ordinary folks out two by two as lambs among wolves, with no supplies and a message that fits in a shirt pocket: the Kingdom of God is near you now. From the day his dad heard gunshots over a prison radio to the morning the warden pulled up just to watch a bronc ride, this is about the dangerous mission Jesus sends His people on, and the victory He guarantees.

In Rome, a legate was called Caesar's own man. He carried Caesar's power and authority into every room he walked into. That is week one of Jesus' Own Man.

Kevin Weatherby opens the series in Zechariah 3, where a high priest stands in front of God in filthy clothes and gets handed a clean uniform he never earned. From seven years working inside a penitentiary to the day he held a loaded .357 on a man, this is about where power and authority actually come from, and the hard difference between wearing the uniform and wearing a costume.

Bucked off, breath knocked out, and trampled... when you did nothing wrong. A cowboy church sermon on how to get back on.

Kevin Weatherby closes out the First Time? series with the first time life knocks you flat when you did everything right: the Big Lake barrel racing wreck, the world championship that got away, and the bronc riding that same day. Seven tips a cowboy uses to get back on.

You keep waiting to feel ready. The hard call, the fresh start, the leap of faith. A cowboy church sermon for the working man who's figured out ready never comes.

Kevin Weatherby picks the First Time? series back up at the ranch: being ready is an emotion, being equipped is a leap of faith. From Romans 8:28 to Ephesians 4:11-12, this is about the God who wasted none of your story and has been preparing and equipping you the whole climb.

When life backs you up to the edge of what you can't do, the trial was never the cliff itself. It's the choice you make standing at the edge of it. A cowboy church sermon for working men who have been there.

Kevin Weatherby opens the First Time? series with the trials that corner a man, and the God who meets him in them. From the prophet Elijah, worn down to nothing right after the biggest win of his life, to the still small voice that got him back on his feet, this is about trusting God when the ground runs out from under you.

You don't have to have it all figured out to come to Jesus. Week 3 closes the Come to Me series on the easy yoke, and the plain truth that green isn't your problem, green is your ticket in.

From Matthew 11:28-30, Kevin lands the series on what your first day with Jesus actually looks like: walking in green, knowing nothing, and getting taken in anyway. He tells his own first morning green on the San Pedro, and the town kid who read electric meters and asked for a cowboy job every month until he finally got the nod.

Jesus says, "Come to me." And we say, "But I can't..." Jesus' whole invitation is three words, no qualifications, no fine print. So why do we keep making it hard?

Week 2 of Come to Me rides through the parable of the Great Big BBQ in Luke 14, where every empty chair at the supper had a good-sounding excuse behind it: I bought some land, I bought five teams of oxen, I just got married. Kevin picks up the jet-ski cliffhanger from last week and lays out the excuses we still send back to God today.

You can get worn smooth out. Tired down to the rivets. And the first three words out of Jesus' mouth in Matthew 11 are the ones most folks skip right past on the way to the famous part: "Come to me."

This week Kevin opens a brand new series, Come to Me (Week 1 of 3), and rides straight into the loads we keep packing on our own backs, loads God always meant to carry.

We've been ten weeks riding through the whole story of God, and this is where the trail comes out: not at a tombstone, but at a wedding and a city. Kevin opens in 1 Thessalonians 4 — the Lord coming down with a shout, the trumpet of God sounding the gather, and the dead in Christ rising first — then rides on into Revelation, where two books get opened: the book of everything you've ever done, and the book of life. One of those is the only one that matters.

This is the ending most folks never get told: the story doesn't quit at the grave. It ends with the marriage of the Lamb, a new city coming down, and God Himself wiping every tear off your face with His own hand. And if your name's in the book of life, you're not reading about somebody else's story — you're in it.
