Even the Queen of Sheba, who didn't even know who God was, came and asked Solomon where he got his great wisdom. She listened to him and believed. She will rise up and not speak favorably of all of y'all when Judgment Day comes because you do not believe or change after you've heard the truth. Now one greater and wiser than Solomon is standing here and you still refuse to believe.

While Jesus was still talkin' to folks, his momma and his brothers waited outside to talk to him.

He turned to his twelve cowboys and said, "My brothers and mother are sittin' right here with me.

His cowboys came up to him and asked Jesus, "How come you just tell stories to people?"

Jesus left the day workers outside and went into the bunkhouse with his cowboys. They sat down on the bunks and asked him to explain the story about the registered cattle and the cull bull.

"The Boss's ranch is like a cowboy finding oil comin' up out of the ground in an old useless pasture. In his excitement, the cowboy told no one and went and sold every single thing he owned and bought the property.

When he discovered the best filly he had ever seen, he sold all his trucks, trailers, and every horse he owned just to get this one.

When Jesus had finished telling his tales, he left that part of the country and went back home.

They said, "He's just a cowboy's son. We know his whole family.

His sisters live right here in town. What makes him think he's somethin' special?"

They all got ticked off at Jesus and refused to believe a word he said.Then Jesus told 'em, "A preacher is honored everywhere except his hometown and by everyone except his family."

John had told the King that it was wrong for him to marry his brother's wife.

At Herod's birthday bash, his wife's daughter danced a jig that really impressed the King.

Herod was plumb tore up about this and didn't know what to do. He'd given his word and he couldn't back down from that.

John's crew then came and laid claim to his body and went and buried it on Boot Hill. Then they went and told Jesus what had happened.

When Jesus got back from his ride, he felt sorry for all those who had gathered and waited on him. He took pity on 'em and healed all who were ailing.

Jesus told his cowboys to go load up in a boat and head home while he made sure everyone else made it back to town.

Jesus and his cowboys rode into the town of Gennesaret.

The folks found out he was there and sent word to everyone in the county that Jesus and his boys were there. Sick folks came from miles around so Jesus would make 'em better.

They begged Jesus to just let 'em touch his boots, and everyone who did was made well.
