May 31The Story of God: Why You Can’t See What’s Right Beside You | Week 8 | Save the Cowboy
Two men riding away from Jerusalem. Everything they believed in had just been nailed to a cross and buried. They weren't angry. They weren't falling apart. They just rode — quiet, straight ahead — away from the place where the dream died. And the man they were grieving fell in alongside them.
In Luke 24, Jesus spends seven miles proving from the Scriptures that everything that happened on Friday was never an accident. It was a story God had been telling since the beginning.
This week in The Story of God, Jesus opens three scriptures on the Emmaus Road:
Genesis 22 — A sacrifice is required
Isaiah 61 — The mission declared
Psalm 22 — The cost paid
You don't have to see it to believe it. But you have to believe it before you can see it.

May 31The Story of God: They Never Met. They All Saw the Same Man. | Week 7 | Save the Cowboy
Four of the most important men in the Bible never met each other. They lived in different cities. They wrote in different centuries. Some warned kings, some were dragged into exile, and some stood in palace courts. But when you line up their testimonies side by side, every single one of them is describing the same Man.
"But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed." — Isaiah 53:5 NLT
Scripture Focus: Isaiah 6:8 | Isaiah 53:4–6 | Jeremiah 29:10–11 | Ezekiel 37:4–6 | Daniel 3:16–18
Series: The Story of God — Week 7 of 10

May 17The Story of God: The Promise a Wicked Witch Couldn't Kill | Week 6 | Save the Cowboy
God made a promise to King David that his bloodline would sit on the throne of Israel forever. That promise was called the Davidic Covenant — and for 325 years, it was tested by 20 kings, hostile nations, and one wicked queen who came within one baby of ending it entirely.
In this message, Pastor Kevin Weatherby walks through all 20 kings of the southern kingdom of Judah — their strengths, their failures, how they lived, and how they died. Some were great. Most were not. And one evil woman named Athaliah — the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel — seized the throne and tried to kill every royal heir in the house of David.
She thought she had extinguished the line. She was wrong. One infant was hidden by his aunt in the storerooms of the temple, and the promise of God survived.
Key Scriptures: 2 Samuel 7:16 | 1 Kings 12:11 | 1 Kings 15:11 | 2 Chronicles 16:12 | 2 Chronicles 20:12 | 2 Chronicles 21:14-15 | 2 Chronicles 22:3
The Story of God is a 10-week series tracing the full arc of Scripture — from the garden where God walked with man, to the city where He will live with man again. Every week follows three threads: The Big Pattern (Man Rebels, Rebels Destroyed, Righteous Saved, Start Over), The Sacrifice Thread, and Jesus Walking With Man through every age of history.
The Davidic Covenant — God's unbreakable promise to David
All 20 kings of Judah — their walk, their failure, their end
Athaliah — the wicked witch who nearly ended the line of David
One baby. One temple. One promise that would not die.
The same promise God made to David — He has made to you

May 17 The Story of God: The Northern Kingdom and Jeroboam’s Golden Calves | Week 5 | Save the Cowboy
From God’s view, the Northern Kingdom of Israel isn’t just a history lesson—it’s 200 years of calf‑worshiping pukes proving what happens when a nation builds its own religion and rides off from the real God.
In Part 5 of “The Story of God,” we zoom out and trace the trail from Solomon’s drift and the split of the kingdom, to Jeroboam’s golden calves at Bethel and Dan, to 19 kings in 9 dynasties who kept the “sin of Jeroboam” alive while prophets like Elijah, Amos, and Hosea shouted for them to turn back. You’ll see how false worship, high places, Asherah poles, Baal altars, and partial obedience finally ended with Assyria riding in and wiping the Northern Kingdom off the map.
This message is for folks who suspect they’ve built a comfortable, home‑made religion instead of actually following Jesus, believers who keep winning little battles but won’t lay down their favorite “calf,” and top hands who want to make sure their life points at the real God, not just at tradition.

May 17 The Story of God: When God Let Them Have Their King | Week 4 | Save the Cowboy
Israel didn’t just wake up one day with a bad king; they fired God as their King and asked to be “like all the other nations” instead.
In Week 4 of “The Story of God,” we ride through the lives of Saul, David, and Solomon to see what God looks for in a man and what destroys a kingdom from the inside out. Saul starts humble and obedient, then forgets who got him there—impatience, half‑obedience, and excuses cost him everything. David isn’t the biggest or the best on paper, but he becomes “a man after God’s own heart” because he cares more about God’s name than his own, and when he sins, he repents instead of justifying. Solomon is the wisest and richest man on earth, blessed with wisdom, fame, and a kingdom, but he slowly lets his heart drift toward other gods and forgets where it all came from.
Along the way, we zoom out on a pattern that keeps showing up in “forty”—forty days, forty years, forty of ruling or wandering—seasons where God is testing, humbling, and proving hearts before breakthrough or judgment. If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in your own “forty,” wondering what God is doing with your life, this cowboy‑church message will help you see the long game of God and ask the better question: Am I chasing what God gives, or the God who gave it?

May 17 The Story of God: From Exodus to the Promised Land (and Back Again)
From God’s view, Exodus to Judges is not a kids’ story—it’s a rescue mission, a round pen, and a long ride with a God who refuses to give up on His people.
In Part 3 of “The Story of God,” we zoom out and trace the trail from:
Egypt – God rides into enemy country to steal His kids back from demons pretending to be gods.
Sinai – God moves into camp and lays down standards of character and integrity for anyone who rides with Him.
The wilderness – forty years in God’s round pen where a green crew learns to follow the Boss instead of the map.
The conquest of Canaan – God does the heavy fighting and lets His crew ride in on victories they didn’t earn.
The time of the Judges – God’s kids try to get by on bare‑minimum obedience, wreck in the same bar ditch, and He still keeps sending help.
This message is for:
Folks who feel stuck in the same old draw, same old sin, same old cycle.
Believers who know better and are ready to turn back and actually follow.
Top Hands who are walking close to God but have been putting off the next thing He’s been nudging them to do.

April 21The Story of God: From the Ark to Egypt — The Patriarchs & God's Unstoppable Plan | Week 2 | Save the Cowboy
The patriarchs of Genesis — Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph — aren't just ancient characters. They're God narrowing the whole human story down to one family with one mission, and nothing was going to stop Him. This is Week 2 of The Story of God, tracing biblical history from creation to eternity.
God shut the door on the old world and opened a new one. The cowboy doesn't quit mid-trail, and neither does God.
In this episode:
What the Tower of Babel reveals about human nature — and why God's response was mercy, not just judgment

How Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob prove that God keeps His covenant across generations, even when His people don't deserve it

The Bronze Age world context that makes the patriarchs' story feel alive and historically real

Why Joseph in Egypt isn't a rags-to-riches story — it's God positioning an entire nation for the next chapter

The Big Pattern in action: Man rebels, rebels are scattered, the righteous are preserved, and God starts over
Scripture References: Genesis 8–50
This episode is for anyone who's ever felt like God forgot His promise, lost the thread of the biblical story, or wondered how the Old Testament connects to their life right now. Saddle up — the trail goes somewhere.

April 16The Story of God: Creation, the Fall & the Pattern That Changes Everything | Week 1 | Save the Cowboy
Six thousand years of biblical history. Ten weeks. One story. In this first message of the Story of God series from Save the Cowboy Ministry, we open Genesis 1–7 and discover that Jesus doesn't just show up in the New Testament — He's on the very first page, walking and talking with man from the moment of creation.
Four thousand years before the cross, God established a pattern that runs through every chapter of human history. Once you see it, you'll never read the Bible the same way again.
Man Rebels…Rebels Destroyed…Righteous Saved…Start Over.
Three threads run through every week of this series:
Jesus walking and talking with man from Genesis forward — not symbols, but literal presence
The sacrifice thread that begins in Eden and ends at the cross
The Big Pattern of rebellion and rescue playing out in your life right now
In this episode:
Why Jesus was present at creation — before Bethlehem, before the cross
What the knowledge of good and evil was really about — and why it still applies today
Why the first death in human history was an animal, not a man, and what that means
How God closing the door of Noah's ark tells us everything about how He still works
The Big Pattern in full — from Eden to the flood and what it means for you
Scripture References: Genesis 1–7 | Genesis 7:16 | Genesis 8:21 | John 1:1–3
This week's reading: Genesis 1–7
This is Week 1 of a 10-week series. New episodes every Sunday. Start here and ride it through to the end.

April 06Exodus 12: The Passover Fulfilled — From Shadow to Savior | Save the Cowboy
For 1,443 years, Israel kept the Passover as a shadow — a rehearsal waiting for its fulfillment. In this 15th Anniversary message from Save the Cowboy Ministry, we open Exodus 12 and trace the blood on the doorpost all the way to the cross, discovering that Jesus fulfilled the Passover at the exact moment the temple lambs were being sacrificed in the temple.
Paul settles the matter in Colossians 2:16–17 — the feasts, the new moons, the Passover itself were "a shadow of things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ." This episode is that shadow finally stepping into the light.
There is a difference between a man who owns a saddle and a man who actually rides. Israel owned the Passover for over a millennium. On one Friday afternoon in Jerusalem, God rode in.
In this episode:
Why the blood on the doorpost in Exodus 12 wasn't a ritual — it was a map
How Jesus died at the precise moment the Passover lambs were killed in the temple
What the torn curtain means — the fence was knocked down, not just cracked
Why the Resurrection and the firstfruits offering happened at the same hour
How the shadow that fell on Israel for 1,443 years now covers the whole world
Scripture References: Exodus 12:12–13, 12:15, 12:17, 12:43, 12:48 | Colossians 2:16–17
Whether you've been walking with the Lord for decades or you're just circling the gate — the bread is broken, the cup is poured, and the price has been paid in full. Come on His terms.

April 06 The Last Supper - Part 5
2,000 years ago, the King of Kings looked across the horizon of time, saw your face, and spoke your name in a prayer. Do you actually know what He asked for?
In this message, we step into the "Holy of Holies" to hear the longest recorded prayer of Jesus. Often called the High Priest’s Prayer, John 17 isn't just a religious transcript—it’s a battle plan for your life.
Jesus covers everything from His own authority to the protection of His disciples, but He ends with a "nuclear-bomb statement" that includes every single person who would ever believe through their message. That means you.
If you’re tired of dragging worldly baggage down a narrow trail, it’s time to unsaddle and ride for the right Brand.
