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.

In the Parable of the Talents, we see that God entrusts each of us with gifts, skills and abilities; holds us accountable to what we have received; and will ultimately judge the outcome of our faith.

“Do You Love Me More Than These?” (John 21:15-22) Here we see Jesus recommissioning Peter by asking him the simple but weighty question, “do you love me more than these?” These is a question we all need to ask ourselves.

The Upside-Down Life (Romans 8:11-17) It’s often said that the true way to live life is to do whatever feels true to you. The Christian life is considered upside-down to many, but why? What if it provided the true way we are supposed to live, in relationship with the Triune God. Speaker: Curate Matthew Usherwood

Acts: Bold Witnesses (28:16-32) Finally! We’ve journeyed with Paul across the Empire and all the way to Rome, anticipating sharing the Gospel of Jesus with the Roman Emperor himself (or so Paul hopes). And just as Paul arrives in the capital,  Luke’s two-volume story of Jesus and his Church comes to an abrupt end. What … Read more May 19, 2024

Why is Jesus’ Ascension Good News? (Ephesians 1:15-23) As the New Song Church Choir performs J.S.

Acts: To Be a Christian (Acts 25:23-26:1, 4-29) “In a short time,” King Agrippa asked Paul, “would you persuade me to be a Christian?” But what does it mean to be a Christian? To be a Christian is to be transformed by the Gospel of Jesus, and in Paul’s defense we see that the Gospel … Read more April 28, 2024

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. Only the Gospel of Grace will truly transform your life with lasting effects. We must fully give our lives to Jesus and ask Him, “What shall I do, … Read more April 21, 2024

Acts: Don’t Shrink Back! Run with the Gospel (20:17-38) “You will be my witnesses” – that’s the commission the church has received from the risen Lord Jesus. Now as the Gospel spreads through the Roman world, the Apostle Paul gathers pastors together to give them the church its charge: don’t shrink back! But what does … Read more April 14, 2024

Acts: Our Hearts’ Unknown God (17:16-34) Augustine famously said, “Our hearts are restless until we rest in you (God)”. Paul is now in Athen’s and he sees this playing out before him.

Colossians: What Does Jesus’ Resurrection Mean for Us? (3:1-4) At the centre of the Christian faith is an announcement: Christ is risen! And this changes everything.

Acts: God’s Sovereignty Empowers Our Gospel-Sharing (16:6-15) God, the Bible tells us, is sovereign over everything – nothing is too big or too small to be outside his control. What then do we make our our call to be Gospel-Sharers? In light of God’s sovereignty, does it matter what we do (or don’t do?) Paul’s call … Read more March 17, 2024
