Sermon Synopsis
 
  A number of years ago there was a Scripture Song written upon Psalm 137. "By the waters of Babylon we wept...Blind man stood by the road and cried, show me the way to go home."   It is not just the Israelites who endured captivity, slavery and shackles.  We are spiritually experiencing many of the same things. 
   Too often we find hopelessness and helplessness to be the controlling factors of our lives.  We lose our sense of purpose and the direction of our lives.  We feel defeated and alone, because we are not "like" someone else.  We may even play the martyr, believing that we are defeated because we have not seen instant results.
    Instead, we need to take the time to remember.  We remember the calling of God, to be His child and co-heir with Jesus.  We need to remember our purpose of life, to live as an example of the mercy and grace of God.  We must remember our own end, not as the conclusion of what we now, but the beginning of what we believe.
