Release Sunday – A Special Worship Experience

We had a special service called "Release Sunday" where we had a sacred moment of freedom and renewal. Building on the Jubilee themes from The Lord’s Favor series, Marcel Hall delivered this short message reflecting on God’s call to release — to let go of sin, bitterness, guilt, and shame — and to walk fully in His grace.

Drawing from Leviticus 25, Luke 4, and the writings of Paul, Marcel shares how true freedom in Christ means learning to forgive others — and ourselves. The message leads into a unique worship experience featuring Release Stations, where the congregation was guided through prayerful moments of confession, forgiveness, mercy, and reflection.

This episode captures the heart of a morning where chains fell, burdens lifted, and many experienced the Lord’s favor in a fresh, tangible way.
