Episode 144 - Luke 138 - Witnessing denial (Luke 22 54-62)

Continuing the Gospel of Luke, focusing on Peter’s denial of Jesus in Luke 22:54–62. He explores Peter’s fear, failure, repentance, and restoration, and applies these lessons to the Christian life—challenging believers to consider how they respond to pressure, how Christ looks upon his people with compassion rather than condemnation, and how true repentance leads us back to Him. A thoughtful message aimed at strengthening faith and pointing listeners to reconciliation with God through Jesus Christ. Produced by Manawatū People’s Radio with support from New Zealand On Air.

In this week’s Gift of Life 4 U, host Neville Stevenson reflects on Jesus’ invitation, “Come to me,” from Matthew 11:28–30.

Featuring songs from Fernando Ortega, Jubilant Sykes, Phillips, Craig & Dean, and selections from the Amazing Grace soundtrack, the programme encourages listeners toward hope, trust, and deeper faith.

Obscure Rock

Hosted by Eddie and Glen. In this episode of the Audio Archive I play tracks from bands that you will have never heard of. Mainly from the 1970's these bands never went on for one reason or another. I'm offering a small prize (of my astonishment) if anyone is familiar with the following groups; Rockets, Trigger, Rough Diamond, Topaz and Trickster. We also present the wild and weird musical stylings of the mighty Root Boy Slim and Alberto Y Los Trios Paranoias which has to be heard to be believed!
