More About Firstlight...
Firstlight Broadcasting Network was launched in New Zealand on the 17th September 2012 at 6pm. 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 anniversary of bringing God's loving last day messages to the people of New Zealand. Now Firstlight has been on air for over twelve years!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 programmes sourced from 3ABN, Amazing Facts, It Is Written and other international and local New Zealand sources as they become available.
While our programmes are based on Christian principles, we believe the programme 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 Programme 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.Saturday - 11 January 2025 - 7:30pm
Total Onslaught - The Final Conflict
In this presentation of the 'Total Onslaught' series, Walter Veith talks about the final conflict. How do recent world events correlate with end-time Bible prophecy? Is the Sunday-Sabbath issue even a factor in world events? What is the goal and purpose of the behind-the-scenes world power—the Roman Catholic Church? What is the legacy of Pope Benedict XVI in relation to the nearness of Christ’s return? Apparitions of Mary, deification of Mary, spiritualism’s infiltration into mainstream churches and government, and the union of church and state are also analyzed.
Repeated on Monday 13 January at 4:30am, Wednesday 15 January at 12:00pm and Friday 17 January at 12:00am.
