In Genesis 30, Jacob’s family faced jealousy, heartache, and tension at home and at work, but God’s hand was guiding it all. In this message from Sam Willcut’s series through Genesis, we’re reminded that even when people act imperfectly, God remains faithful to His promises. He hears our prayers, provides, and can bring blessings out of our struggles when we put Him first.

Andy Rutherford explores how one simple gift, encouragemen, has the power to unify, restore, and multiply the church. Drawing inspiration from Barnabas, the “son of encouragement,” we learn how to see the good in others, recognize God’s work in unexpected places, and lift up those who are weary.

Sam Willcut shares “Three Keys to Prosperity and Success,” drawn from Joshua 1:1–9. As Joshua steps into Moses’ role, God reminds him that true success doesn’t come from worldly schemes but from living by His Word. This lesson explores three essential commitments: keeping God’s Word on our lips, meditating on it day and night, and obeying all that is written. Through Scripture, practical examples, and a heartfelt challenge to renew our love for the Bible, this sermon calls believers to embrace God’s definition of prosperity: faithfulness, growth, and spiritual strength.

In this Bible class from the Carthage Church of Christ, Eric Swann teaches “The Church Division that Jesus Commands.” He explores the biblical purpose of church discipline, showing how loving correction, not neglect or hostility, protects the church’s unity and restores the sinner to faithfulness.

In this message, Sam Willcut shares from Matthew 7:13–14 about life’s two roads—the broad path that leads to destruction and the narrow way that leads to life. Using vivid examples and honest reflection, he reminds us that following Jesus takes discipline and courage, but it’s the only road that truly leads home.

In this Bible class, Dusty Whitaker teaches that kindness and forgiveness are the key to maintaining unity even when personalities clash or disagreements arise. Drawing from Paul’s appeal to Philemon and Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant, this message shows us that God calls us to respond to conflict with grace, patience, and mercy.

In this continuing study through Genesis, Sam Willcut examines Genesis 29 . Through Jacob’s journey to Haran, his meeting with Rachel, and the lessons learned from love, labor, and deception, we see how God’s providence guides every step of our lives. This message challenges believers to trust God’s timing, value hard work, pursue purity, and reject deceit.

In this week’s first message, “Aquila, Priscilla & The Family Business,” Sam Willcut explores how an ordinary couple from the New Testament balanced their daily work with dedicated service to God. Drawing from Acts 18:1–3, this lesson reminds us that the Church thrives on everyday Christians who work hard, learn truth, nurture family, teach others, and build up the body of Christ. Through the example of Aquila and Priscilla, we’re challenged to stop making excuses and find ways to “get it done” for the Lord both in our homes and in His church.

In this Bible class from James 2:1–13, Barry Cohoon examines the sin of partiality and shows why favoritism is completely out of step with genuine faith in Christ. Using illustrations from Super Bowl loyalties to workplace priorities, he explains how easily we elevate some people while devaluing others, even inside the Lord’s church.

Barry walks through James’s warning against becoming “judges with evil thoughts,” reminds us that God elevates the lowly, and points us to Jesus’ own example of reaching the poor, the overlooked, and even enemies. The class closes with calls to self-examination, loving our enemies, hating sin while loving the sinner, and remembering that the mercy we show others is the mercy we will receive in judgment.

In this Q&A lesson, Brother Sam Willcut addresses a question about the “heaven on earth” teaching that has resurfaced among some within the church. Drawing from passages in Revelation, Isaiah, and 2 Peter, he explores what Scripture says about the “new heavens and new earth” and whether this concept is a doctrinal or opinion matter. The message closes with a reminder to stay ready for the Lord’s return, live in holiness, and focus on eternal treasures rather than earthly ones.
