Pastor Marcellus Howard

Pastor Marcellus HowardWhat a wonderful, yet perilous time to be alive at this juncture of earth’s history.  We are witnessing right before our eyes events that point to the soon coming of our Savior and Friend, Jesus the Christ.

I believe the impassioned pleading of our Redeemer is escalating, the closer we move to the end of time.  The Messiah is unwilling that any should perish.  I daily praise Him for the grace He has extended in my life.  Our feelings of unworthiness are real, but we should be thankful that He loves us to the degree that He has not given up on us.  He hasn’t given up on anyone.  Regardless of the events of our time, the Spirit of Almighty God is still alive, prepared to give a fresh anointing to ALL who would receive Him into their presence.

It is my desire to see New Hope as a safe environment, where people of ALL backgrounds can come, worship the Lord in gladness, be ministered to spiritually, mentally and physically.  I would like to see God’s people join in with the Heavenly three in being defiant to the world’s predictions that no one can live a Christ-centered life, filled with love, joy, contentment, faith, service and NEW HOPE!

I am here to serve to the best of my ability.  Will you join with me in serving our brothers and sisters from all over Melrose Park and greater Fort Lauderdale?  If you are willing to enlist in this army, let us remember to make prayer an integral part of our daily walk.  Let us continually pray for one another and those who do not know the Lord.  I promise you, covered in the blood of Jesus, with an attitude of service and an unbiased love for all mankind, Christians in this perilous world can make a difference.  Let us ask the Lord to help us to love Him more and serve Him better.  Let us do something for this city that is contagious and amazing.

With prayer we can rise above what you hear or what you see, in the world, don’t be discouraged, the Lord is “mighty to save”.  Peace and Blessings to you all for the favor of heaven to be continuously bestowed upon you.

In His service,
Marcellus P. Howard
Senior Pastor of the New Hope SDA Church
