Freddy is the author of a newly published devotional and study "Relentless Love".
Encouraging Words for Life's Journey is an 8-week Devotional Bible study including questions for self-reflection or group discussion.We all face times when we can use some encouragement. Relentless Love is an outpouring of God’s love in my life as I have heard and read what others have said, but most importantly from studying His Word. It can be used as a daily devotion or for a small group Bible Study. It is not intended to be in-depth, but rather to stimulate you to think about how God wants to encourage you in each reading. Freddy's prayer is that Relentless Love will be a tool God will use to encourage you as you journey through life! |

Devotional Topic: When Love Breaks Through
Description: Everyone probably wonders at times, where God is, and whether He knows or even cares about us personally. I want to share with you some of the ways that God speaks to us through daily circumstances and natural phenomenon. It’s about the vastness of the creation and the Creator of it all Who sees us, knows us, loves us, and constantly reveals Himself to us, whenever we will tune our hearts to pay closer attention to His voice. Bio: Wes Reed lives in Newark, NY. Over the past 30+ years, he has held several church leadership positions, including worship leader, youth ministry, and ministry to the aged. Presently, he is senior pastor of Cornerstone Fellowship in Newark, NY, served since 2002. Wes has always been a firm believer that God wants us to “bloom where we’re planted,” no matter what the situation may be. With that thought in mind, he spear-headed an organization that provides opportunities for the fellowship and encouragement of single Christian adults. Contact: wesreed12@yahoo.com; https://cornerstonenewark.org "Having attended the Singles Labor Day Experience for three consecutive years has encouraged my faith, while providing opportunities to meet many new friends. The entire weekend, beginning with the leaders portion, covers various relevant topics, but the underlying theme and heart of the ministry consistently points toward securing and nurturing a solid relationship with Jesus Christ. The worship, teaching, fellowship with other singles, along with the hikes and river tubing, together, make this retreat a highly valued, memorable experience." —Pastor Wes Reed, Newark, NY |
