The David Spoon Experience 10-24-23 part 1

A) Birthday parties are typically joyous occasions, a time for celebration. However, the birthday party of Herod Antipas was a disaster for the righteous. Herod already had a concept of resurrection, which must have weighed heavily on his mind. During his birthday party, the daughter of his wife, Herodias, performed a dance that greatly pleased him. The issue here is that the daughter of the woman he was with was stirring his desires. The daughter won favor through her dance, likely not a waltz.

B) In an impulsive moment, less than brilliant, Herod promised the young lady anything she desired. This should serve as a lesson to all: in moments of heightened passion, the flesh can overpower reason and lead to promises that should never have been made. But what followed was even worse.

C) Herodias advised her daughter, which seems normal as most mothers look out for their children. So, when the girl asked her mother what she should request with her “blank check,” Herodias, driven by spite and vengeance, told her to ask for the head of John the Baptist. This request benefited no one except someone with a guilty conscience.

D) The king realizes his mistake but can’t retract his promise because once he gives his word, it becomes an order that has to be fulfilled. If he didn’t keep his word, he risked losing his position. John the Baptist was executed, a terrible event in itself but one that secured his eternal future. His head was brought on a tray to the girl, who then gave it to her mother - quite the family dynamic indeed. Then, John’s disciples took his body and buried it.

E) When Jesus was informed about everything that had happened.

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.
