My current event article will be based on the Gospel Today
magazine. The title of the article was
“Nashville’s 760 AM The Gospel to host Welcome Celebration for Stellar Gospel
Music Awards”.
760 AM The Gospel(WENO-AM) in partnership with Yes Lord
Radio and Cathedral of Praise hosted the welcome celebration on Wednesday,
January 11th, 2012. The 27th
Annual Stellar Awards returned to Nashville, TN on Saturday January 14th,
2012 at the Grand Ole Opry House. The
Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center was the scene of this miraculous
gospel event. Gathered there were some
of the greatest gospel artists on this planet!
This is an annual awards show founded by CEO and Founder of The Stellar
Gospel Music Awards, Don Jackson.
These artists have their hearts on the pulse of the
people. Those in particular that I would
like to mention include Kirk Franklin, who won Song of the Year with “I Smile”
of the album, “Hello Fear”, and Vashawn Mitchell, who won Artist of the Year
with his album “Triumphant”. If you
haven’t heard these cd’s, you don’t know what you are missing! Run, I said, don’t walk to the nearest
Walmart, Best Buy or Target and get you a copy!! Your soul will be truly blessed!
These two artists exemplify exactly what I was talking about
last week, the ability to reach people right where they are. Vashawn Mitchell’s song “Nobody better than You”,
just hits you right in your heart. Ohh!
He is so blessed!! To be able to articulate exactly what we are feeling, that
which I thought before now, no words could express.
He speaks about how we search high and low for that someone that can
heal, that awesome one who you can put all your trust in. He then says it! He couldn’t find nobody greater than
Jesus! He stated he searched high and
low, searched all over. Now, haven’t we
all done this? Searched for that person
who we could trust with our life’s secrets, one who could heal all are hurt and
pain, only to be disappointed over and over again! Then he gives us the answer to our
prayers! Jesus!!!!
Kirk Franklin’s song, “I smile”, lets you know that even
though you may be going through a rough time, just smile. Look forward to God’s deliverance. It is so smooth. It perfectly combines R&B with
contemporary Christian music that will make anyone want to smile when they
think about life’s problems. This was
what I meant by meeting people where they are.
This is helping people. This is
what music ministry is all about! It
reaches out into the highways and byways with a message that we all can relate
to( saved or not)!!
There were many more winners at the Stellar Awards . Check out the slideshow of the entertainers
on stage performing and picking up their awards. The show has been scheduled to be aired on
national syndicated TV from January21 to February 21. Call your local cable
station and request an airing of the program!
No date or time has been scheduled in Buffalo, as of yet.
