The Story of God: Why You Can't See What's Right Beside You | Week 8 | Save the Cowboy

About this episode

Kevin Weatherby explores the significance of faith and scripture in understanding God's presence and the message of the cross.

Picture a cowboy riding away from you — tall in the saddle, but his shoulders are down and his jaw is set, the weight of the world on him. He’s leaving the place where his dream died. That’s two men on the road to Emmaus, three days after the cross… and the risen Jesus rides up alongside them, and they don’t know it’s Him. In Week 8 of The Story of God, Kevin Weatherby opens Luke 24 and walks the whole arc of Scripture the way Jesus did on that seven-mile road — Genesis 22, Isaiah 61, and Psalm 22 — landing on the one truth that changes everything: you don’t have to see it to believe it, but you’ve got to believe it before you’ll ever see it. In this message: Why God shut their eyes on purpose, and what that says about the seasons you can’t see Him working How Abraham, Isaac, and “the Lord will provide” (Jehovah Jireh) were pointing at the cross 2,000 years early What Isaiah 61 says Jesus came to do — and what Psalm 22 says it cost Him The one thing the blood of Christ will not cover Why faith means saddling up and riding the way God said before you can see where the trail goes Scripture…
