At New Song we believe that the Gospel isn't good advice or what God expects from us; the Gospel is the Good News of what God has done for us in Jesus.
So every Sunday we gather to hear God's Word proclaimed through Scripture reading and through faithful, biblically-sound and applicable preaching.
Check out our sermon podcast (search "New Song Port Perry" wherever fine podcasts are downloaded) and listen to some of our latest sermons on our YouTube Channel.

James: Faith That Works (2:14-26) Isn’t works based faith anti-gospel? James shows us it’s not; if you find your grounding in the cross of Christ. He gives practical and Old Testament examples to drill his point home. Life changing faith is a visible faith. Matthew Usherwood

James: Partiality Inverts the Gospel (2:1-13) The church bears witness to the Gospel of Jesus by it’s love for one another and for its neighbours. So partiality, favouring some members over others, does more than strain relationships within the church: it inverts the Gospel and makes Christians judgemental, hypocritical and guilty. But is there good … Read more February 2, 2025

Christmas Eve: Peace on Earth? (Luke 2:14) We all long for a world of peace; yet no matter how much we long for it, peace never seems to be achieved. Is peace even possible?
