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.

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?
