Gospel Music Part 2 I Priv Tafirei I Sunday 09 August 2026 by Christ Church Midrand
In a world overflowing with competing voices, Psalm 19 reminds us that God is still speaking. This sermon explores how God reveals His glory through creation, His Word, and ultimately through Jesus Christ, His perfect and final revelation. Discover how Scripture revives the soul, brings wisdom and joy, and exposes our deepest need for God's grace. Above every other voice, hear the Father's message of love spoken through His Son and be invited into a deeper relationship with Him.
When it comes to music curses – and the Devil's Music itself – there is no musician more closely linked to the supernatural than Robert Johnson, the legendary bluesman who allegedly sold his soul to the Devil at a crossroads in the Mississippi Delta for magical playing skills and a handful of tunes. Robert would go on to become the founding member of the sinister “27 Club” but that's not the only curse that's been linked to the young guitar player. There's also the so-called CROSSROADS' BLUES CURSE.The legend of the curse states that Robert, with his deal with the Devil, became the first victim of the song that he wrote and made famous. He died a horrible death after being murdered by a jealous husband – stabbed, shot, or poisoned, depending on the version of the story you hear – and was buried in an unmarked grave for decades. But Robert Johnson was only the first victim of his own curse – he wouldn't be the last.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

David and Thomas continue the conversation with Bro. Marty Hurt of the Gaston Baptist Church.
Based on the episodes that you've heard in this series, then you're likely aware there are many stories of curses, superstitions, and creepy coincidences that have been interwoven into the fabric of the “Devil's Music.” Some are silly and a bit of a stretch, some are eerie, and some – like the most famous music curse of the “27 Club” – are downright unnerving.In this episode, we'll dig into the infamous “Buddy Holly Curse,” which began on a fateful night in February 1959 – the “Day the Music Died.” Legend has it that this curse dogged an entire generation of rock stars connected to Buddy Holly. Is it truth or fiction?Curses and superstitions are not taken lightly in the music world. But I'll leave it up to you to decide if the frightening things that occurred were the supernatural at work, mere coincidence, or the result of that famous rock-n-roll adage of “living fast and leaving a good-looking corpse behind.” Our Sponsors:* Check out Shopify: https://shopify.com/hauntingsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
David and Thomas interview Marty Hurt on this episode of the Ministry Marks podcast. Bro. Marty Hurt is the Associate Pastor of Music and Senior Adults at Gaston Baptist Church in Booneville. He shares about some of his life experiences and discusses the ministry of music.
Before rock-n-roll started taking America by storm in the 1950s, you wouldn't find a minister or holy roller anywhere in the country who didn't refer to the blues as the “Devil's Music.” During the Middle Ages, the Church told people that any kind of music that wasn't about God was the work of the Devil. That became a popular refrain for church leaders – then and sometimes now. By the early twentieth century, it was jazz music – linked to the blamed of Storyville – that was being blamed for lewd and lascivious behavior. Jazz seemed really bad – but then came the blues -- a form of music with an angry, wicked sound that conjures up visions of dive bars, pool halls, graveyards, and an abandoned crossroads in Mississippi where the Devil just might be waiting for the next hopeful guitar player to come along, looking for fame and fortune.Then, with the blending of blues, country, hillbilly music, and more, rock-n-roll was born. It's evolved in many ways over the years – but it's always been trouble.Our Sponsors:* Check out Shopify: https://shopify.com/hauntingsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

How the Beatles' studio tricks end up in a Perth beach shack.Rock didn't die. It just got so splintered, so loved, so adopted that it became like the air we breathe.

There has always been something strange about music. It has captured the imaginations of people in ways that nothing else has ever been able to do. This was true during the days of traveling minstrels, when folk music emerged from the Appalachian Mountains, when the first jazz music was played in the brothels of New Orleans, and when the first bluegrass songs rattled across the American South. But when the first notes of the blues – which eventually gave birth to rock-n-roll – began to be heard from roadhouses and juke joints, the fundamentalists were convinced that the Devil himself had invented his own brand of music. And maybe they're right. The origins of rock-n-roll are murky, at best. It is, by its nature, difficult to define, and even harder to explain. There may never be a single, clear-cut, universally accepted explanation for the origins of rock-n-roll. From its inception, it's been twisted by myth, folklore, legend, rumor, and fact. There is no other kind of music – or even type of popular culture – that has such a rich history of depravity, untimely deaths, bizarre curses, and lives filled with excess. It's almost as if someone sold their soul to the Devil to end up with the kind of lifestyle that music can offer.Our Sponsors:* Check out Shopify: https://shopify.com/hauntingsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Music is not only a powerful motivating tool, but it's also a way to get a message out to a vast number of people…and when things hit the fan, music can be used to let the powers-that-be know that we see what you're doing, and we are not happy about it…We wish to protest. Protest songs help coalesce thoughts and feelings about things like social, political, and labour injustice…they help rally people to a cause and sometimes inspire action against oppressors or those who seek to abrogate rights, keep people down, and try to gain power by spreading lies and propaganda. Sometimes they call out specific people, organizations, and issues…in other cases, they're couched in metaphors and stories…but make no mistake: this music is “us” and “them” and the “them” needs to be addressed. This kind of music has never gone away and is still very much with us…despite that, a lot of people ask, “Whatever happened to protest songs?” Nothing…they're right here…and they've always been right in front of us…let me explain…this is a brief history of protest music, part 2.

This can be a weird, difficult world, filled with injustice, inequality, and bad people doing bad things…we're always up against things like racism, women's rights, labour rights, the plights of marginalized people, class struggle, the disenfranchised, various social movements—the list of righteous causes and grievances is pretty much endless. And sometimes, you just gotta fight back…but how?... Not all occasions called for armed insurrections and assassinations. One way is through music…come up with something topical and specific, put it all to music, and you have a chance of getting your message to a lot of people…and because it's music, you might be able to reach those who might not otherwise be aware of the problem or understand what the problem is. This music isn't confined to a specific people or group or genre or era…you can be loud and angry and filled with the greatest moral virtues screamed at the top of your lungs. But you don't have to be in-your-face about it…your messaging can be subtle while still maintaining all the necessary effectiveness, rage and authenticity. Such songs have a long and fascinating history that goes back way further than you might realize…and these songs are everywhere today, although you may not realize it.

And honestly? It can feel that way—especially when you're just getting started. In Episode 6 of How to Start a Record Label This Year, Scott tackles this myth head-on and shares what he's seen firsthand after nearly a decade of working with independent labels across every genre imaginable. Not major labels. Not household names. Real, niche, often obscure labels that are quietly building sustainable, profitable businesses. This episode breaks down: Why some indie labels are thriving while others stay stuck The difference between struggling revenue streams and sustainable ones Traditional label income (streaming, physical sales, sync, merch) Why the healthiest labels rely on multiple revenue streams How predictable income and release cycles balance each other The power of creating one unique revenue stream no one else has Scott explains why diversification—not chasing trends—is what keeps labels alive long-term, and why many of the most inspiring labels succeed by combining music with something bigger: studios, stores, education, events, or entirely new ideas that only they could create.
