Call Someone Who Cares
Contributed by Rodney Mason on Aug 3, 2001 (message contributor)
Summary: This sermon helps us to find comfort in the times when we feel like no one cares for us.
Introduction: Have you ever had someone to tell you call someone who cares? Maybe you have not uttered these words but I bet you have felt this way before. We all have felt uncared for in this journey of life, in fact for many of us this is the reason we became saved. I am glad that the writer Peter tells us we have someone to call when we feel like no one cares.
