RADIO FRIEND PHIL – Greetings! Welcome to this week’s New Tunes at 9 Roundup. (New Tunes at 9, one-hour of new and emerging music, weeknights at 9 p.m. on WJTL.)

Tenth Avenue North released “Cathedrals” last week. The release of the new record coincided with the Cathedrals tour, and Lancaster was the first stop on the tour last week.

Following the success of “The Struggle” (which debuted at No. 9 on the Top 200), The sound of Tenth Avenue North continues to evolve. Guitarist Jeff Owen was my guest last week on New Tunes at 9. We talked about the role of his guitar being used for creating sonic texture (as opposed to playing a lead role in the music). Jeff also talked about the band’s vision for “Cathedrals,” and in his words, “the crux of the record.” https://wjtl.com/listen/wjtl-casts/

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Moment of Celebration reflects on the expression of God’s faithfulness.

Jesus is the expression of God’s faithfulness. He came as a gift in fulfillment of God’s promises.

Second Corinthians 1:20 says that “no matter how many promises God made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.”

When God says in Jeremiah 29:11, “I have plans to give you hope and a future”, those plans are fulfilled through faith in Jesus Christ.

When God says in Isaiah 1:18, “though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow”, those sins are forgiven through faith in Jesus Christ.

When God says in Isaiah 41:10, “I will strengthen you and help you”, that support is available through faith in Jesus Christ.

He is the Good Shepherd, Redeemer, Savior, and Best Friend among all those who follow Jesus as Lord.

The expression of God’s faithfulness in Jesus Christ is a reason to be glad in the Year of Celebration.

RADIO FRIEND PHIL – Greetings! Welcome to this week’s New Tunes at 9 Roundup. (New Tunes at 9, one-hour of new and emerging music, weeknights at 9 p.m. on WJTL.)

Abandon released their third record, “Love Prevails,” this week. 2014 has been a year of change for Abandon. Justin Engler took over the position of lead vocalist following the announcement that Josh, his brother, was moving onto sing with Audio Adrenaline.

“It Was Love” is the first radio single from “Love Prevails”; the song is written from the perspective of the angels as they witness the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. The lyrics state in part: “Forgive them, for they know not what they’ve done. You looked into the sky. Let out a final cry. Hope is won. Let your kingdom come.”

Justin Engler was my guest on New Tunes at 9 https://wjtl.com/listen/wjtl-casts/; he spoke about the song and explained the title, “Love Prevails.”
