Welcome to What Good News!

The Christian message is good news. That is essentially what ‘gospel’ means.

Our reaction as believers to the message of Jesus, and that of millions of people throughout the last two thousand years, has been one of gratitude.

With the apostle Paul we pray: ‘May the word of Christ in all its richness find a home in you.’ (Colossians 3:16)
