Welcome to Firstlight Broadcasting Network

More About Firstlight...

The Firstlight channel broadcasts nationally 24/7 via the Freeview|HD (UHF terrestrial) network on Channel 26, via Freeview Satellite (also on Channel 26) and on SKY (Channel 206). The official launch onto the satellite platform took place on Saturday 17th September 2016 at 6pm; at this same time Firstlight celebrated its FOURTH birthday of bringing God's loving last day messages to the people of New Zealand.

Firstlight is run by a team of dedicated volunteers whose mission is to proclaim God's love throughout New Zealand. Firstlight aims to broadcast the best selection of ground-breaking Christian programs sourced from 3ABN, Amazing Facts, It Is Written and other international and local New Zealand sources as they become available.

While our programs are based on Christian principles, we believe the program topics will be of great interest to the general public and not just limited to a Christian audience.

Please continue to help us with your prayers and with your financial support. We cannot keep your favourite Firstlight channel up on air without YOUR ongoing support!
Check out this week's Program Schedule to see what is showing and what is coming up on Firstlight.

We show a Christian film/documentary or an important interview on Saturday evenings at 7:30pm. This is usually repeated at 12 noon on the Wednesday following.

See below for some of the highlights for the week ahead on Firstlight.

This Week's Special Program:

John Hus

Here is an important chapter in the steps leading up to the Reformation. The history books make little mention of this Bohemian priest and scholar who lived 100 years before Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. Yet, John Hus was convinced and taught openly that the Bible should be presented in the language of the people, that salvation comes by faith in Jesus Christ, and the Word of God is the final authority. He taught in the University of Prague and as a pastor, challenged the abuses of medieval Christendom.

Starting Next Week...

Extravagant Love

Ty Gibson

In this 5-part series, Ty Gibson eloquently and passionately present the depth and height of the self-sacrificing love of God. When we really begin to grasp how much God loves us, then we will start to change to become like Him in character, and pleasing Him will be our delight, as it is only by beholding that we become changed.

Starting Sabbath 15 December at 3:30am; repeats Sundays at 11:00am and Mondays at 7:30pm; Wednesdays 2:00pm and Thursdays at 4:00am.

The Two Covenants

Brother Shahbaz

There was a huge difference between Isaac’s covenant and Ishmael’s. Brother Shahbaz explores Galatians 4:22-30 to review the two covenants, and considers which one is truly a blessing to the world and is clearly from God. From this in-depth reading we can see one is carnal, earthly, and sinful. It is based on righteousness by works only, and this covenant is influencing leaders and churches worldwide.
