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.

Acts: “What Shall I Do, Lord?” (22:1-22) It’s so easy to fall into a gospel of law or liberation. But both are in fact not good news.

Acts: What Needs to Be Done So That I Can Be Saved? (15:1-21) Nothing gets us more excited than a complex theology debate, right? Okay, maybe not.
