06-09-2026 PART 3: Keep Coming to the Lord

Section 1

Continuing in 1 Peter 2, Dr. Dave focuses on Peter’s statement that believers have tasted and seen that the Lord is good. Using vivid illustrations and personal reflections, he explains that the Christian life is not merely about understanding facts concerning God but about personally experiencing His goodness. Through answered prayers, spiritual encouragement, divine protection, and the presence of the Lord, believers gain firsthand knowledge of God’s kindness and faithfulness. Just as physical bread satisfies hunger, God’s Word nourishes the soul and strengthens spiritual life. The teaching emphasizes that Christians should never lose sight of the joy that comes from knowing God personally and experiencing His goodness in everyday life.

Section 2

Drawing attention to Peter’s description of Jesus as the living stone, Dr. Dave highlights a phrase that is often overlooked: “as you come to Him.” Rather than describing a one-time event, the wording points to an ongoing pattern of approaching the Lord. The lesson challenges the idea that Christianity consists merely of making a profession of faith and then moving on with life. Instead, believers are called to pursue Jesus continually, seeking Him day after day through prayer, worship, Scripture, and fellowship. Having tasted God’s goodness, Christians should develop a growing desire to remain close to Him, recognizing that spiritual strength comes from a consistent relationship with the Savior.

Section 3

Expanding the application further, Dr. Dave reminds listeners that following Christ is not a part-time commitment but the central reality of a believer’s life. While responsibilities such as family, work, ministry, and citizenship are important, none of them should take precedence over a person’s relationship with the Lord. The Christian life is built around continually coming to Jesus, depending upon Him for wisdom, guidance, protection, and strength. The final encouragement emphasizes that God repeatedly demonstrates His faithfulness by sustaining His people through trials, answering prayers, and providing deliverance in difficult circumstances. Because the Lord is good and because He remains faithful, believers are called to seek Him daily and make their relationship with Him the highest priority in life.

David Spoon

David Spoon was born and raised in a Jewish home in Detroit, Michigan. He attended a private Hebrew school called Hillel Hebrew Academy. David was bar mitzvah-ed at the age of thirteen. Not long after, he was involved in drug abuse and trafficking. After hearing the Gospel for the first time at age seventeen, David accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. A few months later, David had a dramatic experience with God. Immediately set free from years of excessive drug use, he committed himself to ministry and to furthering the Kingdom of God.

He attended Arizona Bible College, Northern Arizona University, and Life Pacific College, graduating summa-cum-laude in their Ministry and Leadership program. He also graduated with honors from Regent University with a master’s degree in Theological Studies and earned his Doctor of Ministry degree in Strategic Christian Ministry at Liberty University.

He is one of a few individuals holding ministerial ordinations from three separate denominations: Heritage Free Baptist Organization, 1981; Independent Pentecostal Ministers Association, 1985; and Vineyard Valley Association, 1988. He was also the Chaplain for the Flagstaff Police Department. In addition, David was the senior pastor of Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Flagstaff.

In addition, David started and co-hosted two different live Christian call-in radio talk shows. He hosted the very popular radio show “The David Spoon Experience” on KPRZ 1210 and a show called “To Know Him,” which aired on 88.9 on the F.M. dial-in Temecula, California at 1:00 p.m., Monday through Fridays. He was also the Director of Local Ministry for Salem Media Group in San Diego, California.

David is married to his best friend, Noelle. He has three children and seven grandchildren, plus their two dogs named Levi and Bert. On March 18th, 2019, he started “The David Spoon Experience” in Texas and is growing with his audience of awesome believers and non-believers alike.

He is the President of He Must Increase Ministry, a 501c3 ministry, and is hosting (again) the live daily radio show “The David Spoon Experience” with DJR Broadcasting in KAAM, on the 770 A.M. radio dial. The show is also on various apps and the Internet.

David is a Jewish-Christian, Bapti-Costal, Cal-Minian, Manifold Millennialist.
