The Two Days | Ben Young

Ben Young

Summary

In this New Year's sermon, the pastor uses a track and field metaphor to emphasize the importance of getting a good start in life by focusing on three key areas: evaluation, engagement, and another unfinished "E" concept. Drawing from Ephesians 5:15-16, he encourages listeners to be intentional about examining their past year, identifying what shaped and drained them, and being mindful of opportunities for personal and spiritual growth. The practical takeaway is to slow down, reflect critically on one's life, and proactively engage with the opportunities God presents, rather than passively accumulating commitments and distractions.
