04-01-25 part 1: The Invitation of a Lifetime: Don’t Miss the Feast!

1. The Kingdom Is the Core

Dr. David Spoon opens Matthew 22 with Jesus’ parable of the wedding feast—a vivid, kingdom-centered teaching. Spoon emphasizes that nearly all of Jesus’ stories pointed to one truth: the kingdom of God is where God’s will is done. It’s not just about heaven someday, but about living under God’s rule right now, in every part of life. The wedding feast represents the ultimate invitation to eternity with God, made possible by Jesus’ redeeming work. Spoon makes the point clear: because of Jesus, the kingdom is not a future maybe—it’s a present reality for anyone willing to receive it.

2. RSVP to Eternity

As Jesus tells it, many were invited to the feast, but few responded. Some ignored the call, others were too busy with their farms or businesses, and some even attacked the messengers. Spoon draws a parallel to modern life—how easily people reject or overlook the gospel while wrapped up in their daily grind. The invitation to the kingdom is real, personal, and urgent, and each person is responsible for their own RSVP. God knows who will accept or decline, but that foreknowledge doesn’t excuse anyone from making a decision. Eternity hinges on whether we say yes.

3. Priorities in the Wrong Place

In one of the most sobering parts of the message, Spoon highlights how the guests in Jesus’ parable went “about their business” instead of responding to the feast. Their mistake? They made their earthly work more important than eternal purpose. Spoon warns against living as if we are the center of the universe. We must recognize that Jesus—not our careers, hobbies, or comfort—is the true center. When we make “our farm” or “our store” the top priority, we miss the eternal banquet. The kingdom of God should not be a weekend accessory—it’s meant to shape every moment of our lives.

4. The Feast Is Ready—Are You?

Spoon closes the teaching by bringing the message home: the banquet is prepared, the call has gone out, and the only question left is whether we’ll respond. The parable is not just about ancient Israel or end-times theology—it’s a direct challenge to us today. God is inviting us to something better than we can imagine, but if we’re too distracted or indifferent, we risk missing it. The kingdom isn’t just good news—it’s the best news. And unlike earthly parties, this one has eternal joy, divine presence, and no end. So—are you coming?

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.
