At New Song we believe that the Gospel isn’t good advice about what God expects from us; the Gospel is the Good News of what God has done for us in Jesus our Mediator, Advocate, Saviour and Friend. So every Sunday we proclaim the life-giving Word of Jesus through Scripture readings and through biblically-faithful, applicable preaching.
