Deeper Conference-Opening Session Day 1

Kirk Cameron


Kirk spoke on several things most of which I will try to mention on
The below outline he opened up the conference with the following notes.

1. He emphasized the importance of solid Theology in witnessing the importance of knowing the gospel.

2. He then moved to talk about how there is such a need for a passion for the word of God in the church today, we tend to be more passionate about Sports, movies, and Christian t-shirts and not be passionate about the Lord. We lack true passion

3. Kirk then turned to his highlighted message of the hour. The message of the first and last Adam. He compared Genesis 1 and John 1 speaking as Jesus as the creator and Adam as being created. He brought out some interesting concepts as he spoke on light entering the world for the first time in both passages(Jesus being the light in John 1)

4. He then explained how Adam was one flesh with Eve, Jesus should be one flesh with the church being the perfect bride of the church.

5. Adam because of sin brought us from Life to Death, Jesus brought us from death to life. He gives us life.

6. Kirk then spoke on the fall, after the fall happened the grasp of what was right the grasp of reality was warped by sin, the world’s view of the reality is warped and twisted. That’s why the world is lost. After the fall, sin entered the world and the mind of humans.

7. He explained how we are the clay pots made in the image of God, we have to choice to behave as images of God.

8. Now he talks about how the fall happened, Eve got impatient, he spoke how the bible mentions that the Lord is willing to give wisdom, perhaps the lord was willing to grant Adam and Eve the right to partake of the fruit in his time, but instead Eve got impatient and self-efficient and decided she could take the fruit now! He brought out the point of how we tend to rush God

9.He mentioned not to shortcut the plans of God.

10. We must learn to do everything the Lord has planned, in his time and in his way.

11. We are in the Last Adam-Jesus, we are no long in the First Adam-death, and we are alive

12. He finished with an interesting thought Adam was with Eve in the garden and yet did not say anything. He was responsible as well, he was with Eve when she took the fruit. He remained silent, he could have stopped her. If only he knew the effects

The key point that spoke to me personally was the fact we are in the last Adam, we bear the image of the last Adam (1st Cor 15:49) we need to live in the Last Adam, we need to live in the life that Christ has given us. This was such an interesting and powerful opening session.
