"The Gospel of Jesus" by Matthew Moss & Roscoe Crawley: The Good News That Breaks Every Chain


Tired of searching? Hope has a name.

Roscoe Crawley brought Matthew Moss a song and asked for help with the bridge. They ended up rewriting parts of the melody together. The result is this song, “The Gospel of Jesus”, a song about who Jesus was, is, and is to come.

Matthew Moss x Roscoe Crawley - The Gospel of JesusYou can hear that aim in every verse. The song starts with “If you’re tired, searching for more,” speaking to anyone who is running on empty. It then points to “a light that darkness cannot overcome.” Not some technique or a program for the elite. That light is Jesus, “the living God with us,” who healed, taught, forgave, and silenced every fear.

Matthew hopes that one line will settle deep in your heart: “It is freedom for captives and life to the grave.” He shares: “I want you to feel that truth resonate deep within your soul, knowing that this message is the reason I’m saved, and it’s available to everyone.” That is a big promise. Ask yourself, what chain have you been carrying with you for years? Is it shame, fear, a habit you cannot shake?

The apostle Paul speaks to that chain in Romans 1:16: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” Hold on to the power of His Word. His Gospel does not hand you tips for managing your chains. It breaks them!

So bring whatever is running you dry to the cross today. Call out to Him and your burdens out loud. Then stand where the third verse of this song stands: “Now I’m standing in resurrection love.” Your past no longer gets the last word. Worship follows naturally. The bridge keeps offering it: “I’ll give all of my worship, I’ll give all of my praise.” Will you join in?

Give “The Gospel of Jesus” a listen. Sing along with the chorus, and let it carry you from tired to free. “The gospel of Jesus is all of my hope. It is power to break every chain. It is freedom for captives and life to the grave. Oh the gospel of Jesus, is the reason I am saved.”

(Related scripture: Isaiah 61:1; John 8:36; John 1:5)

Background:

Matthew Moss shares: "The Gospel of Jesus" started as a song Roscoe brought to me to help with the bridge. We ended up diving into rewriting parts of the melody and crafting it into something beautiful, that we hope conveys who Jesus Christ was, is, and is to come. He is the Good News. He is the Savior of the world. He is the reason I am saved! Our greatest hope for "The Gospel of Jesus" is that it helps people encounter the Living God. Recognize that Jesus has the power to break every chain! When you hear the words, "It is freedom for captives and life to the grave," I want you to feel that truth resonate deep within your soul, knowing that this message is the reason I'm saved, and it's available to everyone.

"Spirit of God" by Joel Lane: Surrendering Hearts of Stone to the Holy Spirit

What dead places in your life need breath? “Spirit of God” by Joel Lane is written as a plea for the Holy Spirit to move among us, and shows us that our best response to spiritual dryness is surrender. It is the first release from his debut EP “Have Your Way,” recorded with Zac Carpenter of the worship collective Coming Kingdom. The song opens with a bold claim: “You make dry bones come alive.” Maybe you’re familiar with that kind of spiritual dryness. A marriage gone quiet. A prayer life that is running on habit, with routine words that sometimes make you wonder if they go up any higher than your ceiling. A heart that stopped feeling much of anything. Joel doesn’t ask God to just patch things up. He asks God for more: “Take our hearts of stone, breathe on us.” That’s a pretty brave prayer. Will you pray it? Ezekiel stood in more or less the same place (read Ezekiel 37:1–11). God sent him into a valley of scattered, bleached bones and asked a question that sounds impossible: “Can the...

"Whoop The Devil" by Destin Dumais: Standing in Christ's Authority

Who gave you the authority to stand firm? Destin Dumais opens his debut single with an amazing sound that excites, gets you up on your feet, and gets you ready to conquer. “Whoop The Devil” is a hard-hitting country-rock song with one clear message: As believers, we hold real authority in Christ! The song starts with a cowboy scene. “Gonna saddle up and ride, ain’t no place you can hide.” Then comes the line that makes an important difference: “Been deputized, authorized.” Nobody appoints himself to this work. The badge was handed over at Calvary. Jesus said it plainly in Luke 10:19: “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” Who gives the authority? Jesus does! This kind of confidence never relies on your strength, your mood, or your track record. This confidence rests on His name, and His name only! Does that now mean that our fears will disappear for good? Not always. Destin admits that...

"He Knew" by Krystal Dawn Land: The Cost Christ Chose Before the Cradle

Jesus knew everything, and He came anyway! Let’s go back to the birth of Jesus, a newborn lying in the manger, part of a larger plan and fully aware of where His path would end before He came to earth. Krystal Dawn Land’s song, “He Knew”, opens with a question that stops you cold, especially if you consider how you would respond: “What if He knew? What if He saw? What if He knew the pain He’d face to give it all?” This isn’t idle speculation. The song walks through the full arc of Jesus’ story, “from the cradle to the cross” , and insists that nothing that happened caught Him off guard. He saw the betrayal coming. He saw the doubt, the walking away, “some would not believe, some would walk away.” And still, as Krystal sings, “He did… He knew all along. He still came… to right every wrong.” That kind of foreknowledge changes how we read Isaiah 53:3–5, where the prophet describes the Messiah as “despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows.” Jesus wasn’t ambushed by suffering. He wal...
