Opening Ceremony-Featuring the music of Brannon Howse, Al Denson and congregational singing of some of your favorite gospel classics and patriotic anthems.

1st Keynote Talk- Hell’s Best Kept Secret–Kirk Cameron

How effective are our present-day evangelical methods when they create eighty backsliders

for every one hundred, “decisions for Jesus?” In our zeal, we try to argue sinners into the kingdom by appealing to their intellect. We attempt to scare them into heaven. We use every method to bring people to Christ except the method God has ordained–the Law! Kirk will present the God ordained way to preach the Law effectively–not harshly. Learn how to bring sinners to repentance and see them soundly saved by presenting the truth of the gospel with love and compassion that produces true repentance.

2nd Keynote Talk-True and False Conversions–Ray Comfort

This teaching is foundational to the talk “Hell’s Best Kept Secrets.” It is very important that you understand it, as it will have great bearing on how you spend your time, and how you share the principles of God’s Word. Jesus spoke often of true & false converts, & it is vital that we understand His teaching & recognize the signs & fruits of a false convert & a true believer. If you have ever wondered why so much of the Church looks and acts just like the world, you will love this teaching.

3rd Keynote Talk-How To Make an Atheist Backslide–Ray Comfort

Contrary to popular opinion, the existence of God can be proven–absolutely, scientifically, without reference to faith or even the Bible. It is also possible to prove that the Bible is supernatural in origin. This message will do that. It will also show the atheist that he doesn’t exist, reveal the true motives of the agnostic, and strengthen the faith of the believer.

Friday night session concludes begin 10:00 and 10:15pm

Saturday's General Session Schedule

Saturday's schedule begins at 8:30 am

4th Keynote Talk-Answers for Skeptics–Norm Geisler

Unbelievers have good questions, but do we have good answers? What if someone asked you the following questions, could you answer them from a sound biblical perspective? "Didn’t God make the world and then leave it alone? Is God a part of everything? Is God all-powerful? Does God know the future? What is the purpose of evil? Couldn’t God make a world without evil? Are miracles credible, possible, and scientific or just mythological? What proof is there that Jesus died and rose bodily from the grave? How reliable are our modern Bibles and how do we know the Bible came from God? What do we do when absolutes conflict?"

Special music by Al Denson

5th Keynote Talk-Making the Most of Your Bible Study-Scott Lindsey

Type the verse or topic, click go, it’s that easy! Spend more time actually studying the Bible instead of looking for the information to study.

6th Keynote Talk-The Danger and Myth of Open Theism-Dr. Norm Geisler

Does God know the future? Is God sovereign? The debate over open theism has risen to a national level. Many pastors are openly preaching open theism and writing books to promote this belief. Dr. Norm Geisler was one of the first authors to write a book refuting this unbiblical belief. Open Theism declares that God changes His mind and that He does not have an infallible knowledge of the future, it calls into question Bible prophecy, the ability of God to answer prayer. Christians that are concerned with making sure this false teaching does not enter their worldview or gain an entrance into their church must understand and be able to explain why open theism is wrong and unbiblical. This is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the nation's leading critics of open theism.

7th Keynote talk-The Search for the Lost Anchors of Paul – Bob Cornuke

The Bible speaks of precisely four Anchors being dropped from the stern of Paul’s ship prior to it becoming grounded. All four lead anchor stocks were found and recovered from the seafloor by Maltese spear fishermen in the late 60’s and early 70’s. These divers were unaware that what they found could possibly be one of the great archaeological finds of our time. It has taken the Base Institute almost two years to track down all four of these anchors.

8th Keynote talk-The Search for the Real Mt. Sinai–Bob Cornuke

Through a multi-media presentation, Bob will take you on his real life, dangerous adventure in search of the real Mt. Sinai. Armed with little more than their wits and a Bible, Bob and his companion Larry Williams, embarked on a journey that changed their lives forever . . . finding evidence that confirms the Bible as historically accurate. Bible scholars and archaeologists agree Bob Cornuke has indeed discovered the real Mount Sinai.

 

The Worldview Weekend wil conclude between 4:15 and 4:30pm on Saturday afternoon

 

Student Track Session For Friday Night

 

After Friday night's break and before the 3rd Keynote talk in the main auditorium the students will go down the hall for their student track

 

My Personal Testimony-Kirk Cameron

Kirk Cameron has been in the public eye for years as the star of the very popular sitcom, Growing Pains, which still airs on national television in re-runs. Kirk has also stared in a Disney Film and recently filmed a reunion show for Growing Pains.

While Kirk's public life is well known, few know Kirk's personal story of coming to salvation in Jesus Christ. Kirk will share how he refused to compromise his convictions in Hollywood despite the fact that having the courage of his convictions would cause him to loose work and cost him financially.

Kirk will share with you why his passion is now using his knowlege of television production and acting to reach people for Jesus Christ with the national television program-Way of the Master. Why does Kirk have such a heart to win the lost? How does Kirk have the courage to just walk up to a stranger and begin telling them about Jesus Christ?

Kir will also play a portion of a television special he and Ray filmed in down town New York after 9-11. Through man on the street interviews in downtown New York you will see first hand how to evangelize the way Jesus did. You will also see the danger of "selling" the gospel as a "come to Christ and have a great life" guarantee.

This is a rare opportunity for students to hear from Kirk and catch a vision and passion for biblically sharing Jesus Christ with the lost. Perhaps for some this presentation will be what God will use to bring them to true salvation.

 

Saturday's Student Track Sessions

 

Before the beginning of 5th keynote talk in the main auditorium students are dismissed for this student track.

The Search For Noah's Ark - Mr. Bob Cornuke

One of the world's most provocative and controversial mysteries is the search for the remains of Noah's Ark. Ark searchers have risked their lives ascending Mount Ararat in Turkey where the remains of Noah's Ark are believed to rest. Recent research and discoveries indicate the Ark of Noah may not even be on Mount Ararat in Turkey. Nowhere in the Bible does it mention the words Mount Ararat (singular). The writer of Genesis says the Ark of Noah came to rest upon the mountains of Ararat (plural). This indicates that the Ark of Noah came to rest on a range of mountains and doesn't identify a specific mountain.
Genesis 11:1 (KJV) "Now the whole earth had one language and one speech and it came to pass as they journeyed from the east they found a plain in the land of Shinar (modern day Iraq) and they dwelt there." If the survivors of the flood journeyed from the east, they would have come from the land of present-day central Iran as indicated from this verse.
Since Bob was with us last year for our Worldview Weekend, he has taken his most dangerous expedition yet. Bob spent over 20 days filming and researching Mount Ararat in Turkey and what he believes are the real Mountains of Ararat in Central Iran.
Bob will share with you his exclusive footage of the object many have been claiming is Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat in Turkey. You will also see a fully preserved extinct animal Bob and his team discovered while climbing one of the Mountains. See the video footage, hear the interviews, take an in-depth look into the Scriptures and into the pages of history and decide for yourself. Is Noah's Ark in Iran or Turkey? Where are the real Mountains of Ararat? Could the Ark still be in existence today? Are Bob Cornuke and his team of researchers close to discovering Noah's Ark?
