How can you know if you’re really saved? Can Christians actually have assurance of salvation—or should we always wonder whether our faith is genuine?

In this episode of Fridays at First, we talk about what the Bible says about genuine saving faith, assurance of salvation, good works, repentance, spiritual growth, and Jesus’ sobering words in Matthew 7: “I never knew you.”

We also explore the difference between simply knowing facts about Jesus and actually knowing and following Him. What should change after someone puts their faith in Christ? If good works cannot save us, why does Scripture place so much emphasis on obedience, spiritual fruit, and becoming more like Jesus?

In this conversation, we discuss:

• How someone can examine whether their faith is genuine

• Why salvation is not simply an emotional experience

• What Matthew 7 teaches about people who call Jesus “Lord”

• The difference between intellectual belief and surrender to Christ

• Why good works cannot earn salvation

• Why genuine salvation should produce good works

• The fruit of the Spirit as evidence of Christ working in our lives

• The difference between struggling with sin and willingly living in sin

• Justification, sanctification, and spiritual growth

• What to do when you are struggling with assurance of salvation

Scripture discussed includes Matthew 7:21–23, 2 Corinthians 13:5, James 2, Galatians 5:22–23, Ephesians 2:8–10, Philippians 1:6, 1 Corinthians 6:9–11, Romans 5–6, 1 John 1, and Romans 9.

If you are wrestling with whether you genuinely know Jesus, our goal is not to create unnecessary fear but to point you back to Christ and encourage honest biblical self-examination.

Does church growth mean a church is unhealthy? And what does healthy, biblical church growth actually look like?

In this episode of the Fridays at First podcast, we talk about church growth, discipleship, small groups, church traditions, contextualization, and what really makes a church healthy.

A large church is not automatically healthy—and a small church is not automatically healthy either. Rather than judging a church simply by its size, Christians should ask whether it is faithfully preaching the gospel, reaching people, making disciples, serving its community, and helping believers genuinely live life together.

We also discuss the difference between biblical essentials and ministry preferences. Churches should never change the gospel to fit the culture, but that doesn't mean every tradition, ministry method, schedule, style, or practice is sacred. Sometimes unnecessary barriers can keep churches from effectively reaching the people around them.

Later in the conversation, we look at why small groups become increasingly important as a church grows. Healthy churches need both corporate worship and smaller communities where Christians can know one another, pray together, encourage one another, serve one another, carry burdens, practice accountability, and grow as disciples of Jesus.

In this episode:

• Does a growing church automatically mean an unhealthy church?

• Should healthy churches expect to grow?

• Why are Christians sometimes suspicious of large churches?

• How can tradition become an unnecessary barrier to ministry?

• What does it mean to contextualize without changing the gospel?

• Why do growing churches need strong small-group ministry?

• How can busy Christians prioritize meaningful Christian community?

Scripture discussed or referenced includes Acts 2, Matthew 7, John 15, Jesus' command to make disciples, biblical qualifications for church leaders, and other New Testament teaching about Christian community and life together.

What do you think makes a church genuinely healthy? Share your thoughts in the comments—we'd love to hear from both longtime Christians and those who are still exploring these questions.

Why are Christians so easily offended, and how should followers of Jesus respond when someone hurts them? The gospel changes how Christians handle conflict by directing our attention away from defending ourselves and toward the forgiveness, grace, and love demonstrated by Jesus.

In this episode of the Fridays at First podcast, Nick and Brett discuss why conflict happens even in healthy churches, how Christians commonly mishandle offenses, and why avoiding conflict is not always the same as pursuing peace. They also consider when an offense should be addressed privately, when it may be wiser to overlook it, and how Christians can forgive without allowing hurt to become bitterness or gossip.

You’ll learn:

- Why Christians should expect conflict in a fallen world

- How Jesus responded to betrayal, rejection, and suffering

- Why trying to win or vindicate ourselves can worsen conflict

- How to decide whether an offense should be addressed or overlooked

- Why Matthew 18 begins with a private conversation

- How prayer helps us forgive those who have hurt us

- Why forgiveness does not always require restoring the same level of closeness

- How to bring anger to Jesus before responding to another person

Scripture discussed includes Matthew 5:38–48, Matthew 18, John 3:30, John 16:33, 1 Corinthians 13, Ephesians 4:26, James 1:19, Hebrews 4:15, and 1 Peter 5:7.

How has the gospel changed the way you respond when someone hurts or offends you? Share your thoughts in the comments. Whether you are a Christian or are still exploring Christianity, you are welcome to join the conversation respectfully.

Do Christians really need to join a church? Can someone follow Jesus faithfully by reading the Bible, watching sermons, and practicing Christianity independently—or does God call every believer to become an active part of a local church?

In this episode of the Fridays at First podcast, Nick and Brett examine what the Bible teaches about church membership, Christian community, accountability, and our responsibility to the body of Christ.

Although Scripture does not prescribe one universal membership process, it consistently presents the church as a recognizable community of believers who gather, serve, grow, and live on mission together. This conversation explores why belonging to a local church involves more than attending services or listening to sermons.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The relationship between the universal church and the local church

• Why Christians need biblical community and accountability

• The difference between attending a church and belonging to one

• Why the church needs your gifts and service

• How Christians can respond faithfully to church hurt

• What it means to commit, assemble, and contribute

Scripture discussed includes Matthew 16:18–19, Acts 2:42, 1 Corinthians 12:27, 1 Corinthians 14, 1 Peter 5, Hebrews 10:25, Hebrews 13, John 1:12, and Genesis 2:18.

What has helped you move from simply attending a church to truly belonging and contributing? Share your experience or questions in the comments. Whether you are a Christian or still exploring Christianity, we welcome thoughtful and respectful discussion.

#ChristianLiving #ChurchMembership #FridaysAtFirst

Is Jesus the only way to God, or do all religions ultimately lead to the same destination? In this episode of the Fridays at First podcast, Nick and Brett examine why Christians believe Jesus is the only way—and how we can communicate that conviction with confidence, humility, and love.

Different religions make fundamentally different claims about God, Jesus, salvation, and eternity. They cannot all be true in the same way. Christianity’s claim is not that “our way” is better than everyone else’s way, but that Jesus is who He claimed to be: the way, the truth, and the life.

In this conversation, we discuss:

• Why contradictory religious claims cannot all be true

• What makes Jesus and Christianity unique

• How the Old and New Testaments tell one story centered on Christ

• The difference between grace and trying to earn your way to God

• Why truth and love should never be separated

• How Christians can speak with people of other beliefs respectfully

• Why our goal should be to reach people rather than win arguments

Relevant Scripture passages include John 14:6, Acts 4:12, Matthew 16:15–16, John 1:1, 1 Corinthians 13:6, John 4, and Matthew 19.

What makes it difficult to discuss the exclusive claims of Jesus in today’s culture? We welcome thoughtful and respectful perspectives from Christians and those who are still exploring Christianity.

What is the kingdom of God, and how should understanding it change the way Christians live today?

In this episode of the Fridays at First podcast, Pastor Nick and Brett discuss the rule and reign of Jesus, what theologians mean when they say God’s kingdom is “already, but not yet,” and why Christians can live with hope and purpose while still experiencing the brokenness of this world.

They also explore why God often builds great works through small beginnings, how Christians can respond to spiritual warfare without becoming superstitious, and how church policies, traditions, and personal preferences can sometimes keep us from loving and serving people well.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• What the kingdom of God is

• What “already, but not yet” means

• Why Christians still experience temptation, suffering, and spiritual conflict

• Why faithfulness often begins with small acts of obedience

• How to approach spiritual warfare in a biblical and balanced way

• How to distinguish God’s priorities from personal preferences

Scripture discussed includes Luke 13:10–21, Romans 7–8, Philippians 1, Philippians 2:3, Zechariah 4:10, and Matthew 28:18–20.

#ChristianLiving #KingdomOfGod #FridaysAtFirst

How should Jesus’ return change the way Christians live today? In this episode, we discuss what it means to faithfully steward what God has given us, why Jesus brings both peace and division, and how He responds to difficult questions about tragedy and evil.

This episode of the Fridays at First podcast revisits three recent messages from the Gospel of Luke. Rather than merely looking forward to escaping the pain of this world, Christians should prepare for Jesus’ return by actively doing His will. That means faithfully using our time, gifts, resources, and opportunities instead of comparing ourselves with others or allowing greed and worry to distract us.

We also consider why Jesus can be both the Prince of Peace and the most divisive figure in history. Everyone who comes to Christ can be united in Him, but our response to Jesus ultimately divides those who believe from those who reject Him.

Finally, we look at how Jesus responds to questions about suffering and tragedy. Jesus does not always answer the exact question people ask. Sometimes He redirects them toward the more urgent question they should be asking: How should I respond to God right now?

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• What it means to be ready for Jesus’ return

• Why Christians must steward what God has given them

• How greed and worry can interfere with faithful obedience

• Why Jesus brings both peace and division

• How to respond when family members do not follow Jesus

• Why difficult questions should not keep us from obeying what we already know

• How the gospel gives believers hope in a world affected by evil, tragedy, and death

Scripture discussed includes Luke 12:13–53, Luke 13:1–5, Matthew 11:28–30, Ephesians 5:15–16, John 3:16, 1 Timothy 4:14, and Revelation 22:20.

Why does serving matter in the Christian life? Serving others is more than an optional church activity, it is one of the ways Christians follow Jesus, demonstrate His love, build meaningful relationships, and learn to put others first.

In this student takeover episode of the Fridays at First podcast, four student leaders from First Baptist Church Oak Grove share what motivated them to begin serving and how those experiences have changed them. They discuss serving in children’s ministry, VBS, community service projects, nursing homes, church events, and everyday relationships.

You’ll hear how serving can:

• Help us follow the example of Jesus

• Show people what the love of Christ looks like

• Build stronger relationships within the church

• Develop humility, sacrifice, and concern for others

• Help young Christians discover their influence and calling

• Point people toward Jesus through everyday words and actions

The students also offer encouragement for anyone who feels too young, too busy, or insufficiently gifted to serve. As their conversation explains, serving is not only about feeling able, it begins with making yourself available and trusting God to work through you.

Scripture and biblical examples discussed include Jesus coming to serve rather than be served in Mark 10:45, along with God’s work through Gideon, Moses, and David.

How has serving others affected your faith or helped you build relationships with people in your church? Share your experience in the comments.

What does ministry really look like beyond preaching, teaching, and what people see on stage?In this episode of the Fridays at First podcast, Pastor Nick, Brett, Carrie, and guest Tyler Shook have an honest conversation about the realities and rewards of Christian ministry. They discuss the unseen work that happens behind the scenes, the financial sacrifices ministers sometimes make, the importance of mentors, and how to remain faithful through church conflict and hurt.Ministry can be difficult, messy, and uncertain—but it also offers the incredible privilege of watching God change lives, strengthen families, and work through ordinary acts of faithfulness.In this conversation, you’ll hear about:• The behind-the-scenes work involved in ministry• Trusting God through financial and personal uncertainty• Finding and becoming a faithful ministry mentor• Responding to church hurt without walking away from Jesus• Handling conflict in a way that produces greater closeness• Supporting and encouraging pastors and church leaders• Why every Christian—not only pastors and missionaries—is called to minister• Serving faithfully before receiving a position or paycheckScripture and biblical teachings discussed include 2 Corinthians 5, Matthew 5:44, Proverbs 27:17, James 3:1, Luke 16:10, and the biblical picture of the church working together as one body.What has God taught you through serving others or walking through a difficult season in church?
