08-06-2025 PART 1: The Majesty of God and the Joy of His Presence

Section 1:

The message begins with a touching reflection on a nostalgic photo from Disneyland, which serves as a launching point for a deeper spiritual truth: the importance of pausing to enjoy the gifts and moments God gives us. Rather than rushing through life task by task, believers are called to savor the blessings and encounters with the Lord, recognizing that joy is a vital part of our walk with Him. Drawing from this, the teaching ties in the biblical principle of Sabbath rest as a divine invitation to reflect, celebrate, and enjoy God's goodness—rather than merely seeing life as a series of obligations.

Section 2:

The Psalm being explored, Psalm 68:13–14, poetically illustrates God’s majestic presence among His people, comparing His beauty and glory to a dove adorned in silver and gold. Though humans are likened to sheep resting in the fold—ordinary and humble—God chooses to dwell among them, which underscores both His majesty and His intimacy. The imagery reinforces the profound truth that the Creator of the universe finds delight in being with His creation. David uses vivid poetic style to emphasize how even the grandeur of mountains pales in comparison to God’s splendor, and how His dwelling among us is not merely symbolic, but deeply intentional.

Section 3:

As the Psalm progresses, it continues to highlight God's supremacy over creation and His personal engagement with His people. David describes God's power in defending and protecting us—surrounding us not from afar, but from within the very events and circumstances of our lives. This protection is not delegated or distant; it is personal, present, and active. The name “Immanuel” underscores this reality—God is not detached but “God with us.” Through a personal testimony of divine rebuke and correction, the teaching ends by reminding listeners that God is more faithful to us than we are to Him and that He remains ever near, orchestrating grace and protection from within our lives, not just above them.

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.
