The Good news of Jesus Christ is endless. While we all know the headline - that he died for us as on the cross as a sacrifice for our salvation into eternal life, made possible by his death, burial and resurrection - the list of things that he has unchained us from is endless. It's an 'unchained melody', as we said on Sunday.

We get to listen to and watch hit after hit in our 'Unchained Melody', FC Southsea.

Some of the 'hits' and lyrics in our unchained melody mean we live in freedom and are ready to chain ourselves in this life only as a servant of the Lord.

As we say, hit after hit after hit.

For FC Southsea in this new season we are entering into, as we start to stand on our own two feet, we suggest our response should be to be:

1. Unabetted - able to live on this truth more than depending on support and encouragement of others

2. Unvicarious - living the lives God has designed uniquely for us rather than living through others or not really living at all

3. Unapologetic - we have been forgiven. We do not need to keep apologising for who we are or where we fall short.

What does your unchained melody sound like today?
