T2C College & Career Ministry
The familiar story that Luke records of the prodigal
son is an accurate picture of what is happening today with a
lot of young men and women. Many were raised in Christian
homes or at least exposed to the gospel when they were
growing up; however, with the freedom of being on their own,
they often leave behind those things to explore the world.
Under the influence of the marketing gurus, they pursue a
world of fancy cars & trucks, sexual promiscuity, stylish
clothes, and the next party. Go to any church today and
count the number of nineteen to twenty-nine year olds in
attendance. They make up the smallest age group within the
church!
T2C stands for Time to Chose. That is exactly what this
age group must do. They must chose between conforming to
this world and its’ principles or transforming their lives
to be a Follower of Jesus Christ. The time to chose is now.
The choice is theirs to make and it’s our responsibility to
present them with the truth of God’s Word and expose the
lies of the world’s view.
The purpose of the T2C College and Career ministry at
Cornerstone Baptist is to have friendly and enthusiastic
Bible studies that lead young adults into a growing
relationship with Jesus Christ. It is designed to challenge
these young people to examine their faith, catch a vision of
what their life in Christ could be and give them the
directions to pursue a real relationship with Him.
Breaking down Scripture to discover the true meaning is
an intricate part of this process. Once we understand the
meaning and principle of the passage, we then seek the
relevance in today’s world. Next we examine the relevance to
find the application to our lives. Finally, we ask the
question, how does this apply to my life? Unless we feel
like it applies to us, then we won’t use these principles in
our everyday lives.
We use the acronym: PRAY
P = Principle in the passage
R = the relevance of the passage
A = the application of the passage
Y = you, how does it apply to you?
