Following an outpouring of support and viral demand across social media, 2819 Worship has officially released their debut single, “For Christ Alone,” in partnership with Reach Records.
“For Christ Alone” is a powerful 13-minute live recording that captures the energy and depth of a worship experience rooted in Scripture. The song centers on the message of Matthew 24:30, a sermon that founder and lead pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell spoke on for several months, that describes the Second coming of Jesus, while also drawing from Colossians 1:18, declaring Jesus Christ is the head of the body, which is the church, and the "firstborn from the dead” a title of authority and victory in resurrection, not creation. Together, these truths anchor the song’s message: Christ alone stands for us and leads the way for us, and in the end, there will be no more arguments about who was telling the truth.
“This song is not about us,” shares founder and lead pastor at 2819 Church Philip Anthony Mitchell, “‘For Christ Alone’ is a declaration that the church has only ever had one Savior, one King, one hope… and His name is Jesus. We released this because the gospel demands to be sung, not softened.
