Summary
Why do you exist? You won't find the reason by looking within. You must look outward to the One who made you. Today, Jason Helopoulos turns to Scripture to disclose the reason we have breath: to give voice to God's praise.

| 0:00.0 | David's having the experience that I think many of us have had at some time or another. |
| 0:04.8 | He is standing outside, most likely on a starry night, and the sky is clear, and there are stars |
| 0:12.6 | populating all the heavens. |
| 0:16.2 | And beyond that, there are more and more galaxies and more and more stars. |
| 0:20.5 | And you just begin to take in the expans and more stars, and you just begin to |
| 0:21.6 | take in the expansiveness of it, and you feel so incredibly small. |
| 0:26.8 | And then you have this thought, as a Christian, there is one beyond the stars that has hung |

| 1:25.0 | Worship. He'll help us explore more deeply who we are as human beings, why we've been created, and |
| 1:31.4 | how our creation points back to the glory of Almighty God. |
| 1:35.7 | Here's Reverend Halopoulos. |
| 1:40.1 | It's a delight to be with you. |
| 1:41.6 | I've been looking forward to this where we can spend some time together. |
| 1:45.2 | And my hope is, is that we all fall more in love with our Savior as a result of this, that we see the beauty and the gift of worship and everything that our God has given to us in the midst of that. |
