INFO
Many artists re-release an album nine months after the original release. Well at 7Core Music we decided to do this with a twist. After the successful release of ‘Good News’ we’ve decided to release the EP ‘Really Good News’. We see it as a bolt on to ‘Good News’. And to top it off what makes ‘Really Good News’ really good is that it’s free.
THE HEART BEHIND THE SONGS:
‘The Good News’ explored what the good news is all about and ‘Really Good News’ takes that theme to the next level. ‘Fire’ declares that we fold, that we resolve to nothing except Christ and that there is a fire in our hearts that burns for the one who paid all our debt. ‘Heaven’s Open’ declares that heaven is already open and that we live in a place where we can see lives radically changed, healed and restored as heaven touches earth. The powerful ‘Fully Satisfied’ taken from Colossians 2 proclaims the truth that “IN Christ the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form and WE have been given the fullness of God the head of every power and authority” - As those found IN Christ we are / can be fully satisfied in God. ‘Passion’ declares that IN Christ everyone can have a hope and a new life. The EP finishes with ‘I’m Alive’ taking the message of 2 Corinthians 5 and stating the amazing truth that we are now alive in Christ. That what Christ did wasn’t for a chosen few or a special select group but it was for the whole world! Reclaiming the word ecstasy to it’s true meaning and declaring the GOOD NEWS that One died for all, therefore all died.
The Good News is scandalous, it’s radical, it’s SO good, it’s REALLY GOOD!
