The David Spoon Experience 9-25-24 part 2

1) It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to review one of the classic sermons that I have enjoyed engaging with over the last 45-plus years of faith. That does not mean that this will be a brilliant teaching, and it’s not a guarantee that you will like this word. But we are NOT working with the itching ears approach, so it doesn’t matter all that much. What matters is if this word can help us get One Step Closer.

2) I love planning. I even made videos about planning with my son in the yesteryears. What was the classic line in the videos we made? If we fail to plan, we plan to fail. Is that true? No. That’s why those videos were deleted. But is planning bad? Absolutely not. But our planning is ALWAYS conditional. Proverbs 19:21, Many are the plans in a man's mind, but the purpose of the LORD will stand.

3) Again, the Yiddish proverb: Man plans and God laughs. On this show, I want to do the best I can. I want to help everyone get closer as I, too, get closer to the Lord. But guess what? I am flawed. And I have made mistakes in this radio ministry. And I will make more in the future. I am a mess. But I am God’s mess. And you, too, may be a mess. But you also are God’s mess.

4) The bottom line is this: We can't do this Christian thing, this Christian life, this Christian journey, being as dependent as possible upon the Lord. The reality is that in our weakness, His strength shines through. This is not a permission slip to fail. This is a truth to grow up. Our failures do not stop God from building His Kingdom. And our victories are centered around glorifying His name. In a real sense, there is hope for each one of us in our weakness. The reason is that it is the time for God’s strength to shine the brightest in our lives. Wowzers

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.
