0:00.0	Welcome to the 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life in the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.0	My name is Keith Simon and right now we're going through the
0:13.2	book of Exodus. I personally have always been obsessed with the purpose of life.
0:19.0	What's the purpose of my life? What's the purpose of anyone's life? Because to me one of the saddest
0:24.8	things that could happen is to get to the end of my life and realize that I lived my life for the wrong
0:30.4	things. Now I get that not everyone is obsessed with that question as I am and yet I think all of us want to live a life of purpose and meaning and significance.
0:40.0	So that means that every person must ask and then answer the question, what is the purpose of my life?
0:46.0	Well, back in the 1600s, a group of British Christians got together, and they tried to answer that question.
0:52.0	They asked it this way, they said is the chief end of man in other words what's the purpose of every human being's life and here's how they answered it the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

1:20.8	Our English word for glory comes from the Hebrew word for heavy. The word was often used to describe things that were physically heavy. So the Bible says that Eli was heavy. That just means that Eli was overweight. The word was also used more figuratively to describe something substantial or impressive.
1:39.0	The Bible says that Abraham was heavy, but it doesn't have anything to do with his weight.
1:43.7	It just means that he was wealthy.
1:46.2	Eventually, the Hebrew word for heavy was used to describe anyone who deserved honor or recognition.
1:51.9	In modern English, we might call that person a heavyweight.
1:54.8	Well the biggest heavy weight of all is God because no one is more substantial
2:00.0	than he is. No one has more influence, no one is more deserving of honor or
2:04.3	recognition or praise. Revelation 411 says you are worthy our Lord and God
2:10.2	to receive glory and honor and power for you created all things and by your
