1) We find ourselves in Genesis, Chapter 6, Verse 5. The truth of the matter is that each time I read this, I feel a sense of sadness. This is what our brother Sergio was referring to. When you delve into Genesis and read about the time before Noah's adventure, you discover that mankind had gone astray. You witness the heart of the Creator interact…

A) We delve into 2 Timothy, Chapter 3:16. This passage provides us with a profound understanding of the impact of God's word on our lives. Remember, if God took the time to write it, there must be a purpose. If God could create the universe, He certainly has the ability to write a book. The opening of verse 16 states that all scripture is given by …

1) It's a wonderful Wednesday, a time for teaching and review. We'll revisit various topics I've covered throughout my years in ministry. This particular session is aptly titled "Wait a Minute." The concept is simple: it's about anticipation and dread for an upcoming event. Have you ever found yourself thinking, "This is going to be so terrible; I …

A) We bring Psalm 51 to a close, starting at verse 15: "Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God." This is what David asks for, and it’s a direct reference to his atrocious behavior when he had Uriah the Hittite killed. It's also crucial for Christians to understand that the forgiveness that comes from God runs deep. Paul was a murderer, yet h…

1) In Romans Chapter 5, Verse 1, Paul begins by stating, “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith…” This emphasizes that faith is not a one-time event but a lifelong journey. It begins, continues, and ends with faith. The “Therefore” is the launching pad for the rest of what’s coming. 2) In the following verse, Paul declares, “Through Him,…

A) As we enter into Matthew 18:7, we read that Jesus makes it clear about causing other people to stumble. In this passage, Jesus is not specifically addressing children. Rather, He is speaking to those who believe in Him. The message is applicable to all believers, warning them against imposing their own conclusions or personal interpretations on …

1) In one of the more difficult teachings in the book of Genesis, David addresses Genesis chapter 6 verses 1 through 4, where he discusses how the sons of God, also known as the Nephilim, are perceived throughout the academic community. Mr. Smarty Pants, defying the need to select one of the three major points of view, considers the sons of God as …

A) Paul takes the time to reassure his young friend that God has delivered him from all these situations, just as He will deliver us from our trials. It may not feel like it when we’re in the midst of hardship, but once we come out the other side, we recognize that it was God’s hand and grace that brought us through. B) However, Verse 13 paints a l…

1) Christians shouldn't be overly quiet, sitting in a corner, saying nothing, and just accepting things. We can review the scripture and discover that the righteous are as bold as a lion, and we are ambassadors for Christ, meant to declare the truth boldly. We can also understand that the disciples, after being attacked, prayed for more boldness to…

A) Verse 15 clearly illustrates that prayer for the sick is relevant today. Does every person ALWAYS get healed? No. And only the most immature try to blame someone in this process. Paul left Trophimus in Miletus sick (2 Tim. 4:20). It happens. But we keep on praying. B) This does Not convey that there is forgiveness…just cuz. But it does communica…

1) As we resume Acts 26:18, we recognize that those who turn towards the Lord receive forgiveness, are given a place among God's people, and are set apart. These are three phenomenal benefits of becoming a Christian. The act of turning towards the Lord signifies a transformative shift in a person's life, leading to spiritual renewal and a profound …

A) Here we are in Jude Verse 20. After all of that encouragement, Jude says, "But you, beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith." One of the great takeaways is how much compassion and love Jude had for the people of God. He tells them to build themselves up in their most holy faith. By that, he means to strengthen themselves, similar to…

1) Today's episode of the David Spoon Experience goes completely off the rails, as usual. Our brother Samson calls in and asks how we should deal with leaders who have fallen into disgrace. He expresses his frustration, understanding that it not only puts a blemish on the church but also discourages the Christians involved with that ministry. 2) 2)…

1) The challenge extends beyond the disciples to each one of us. If we can humble ourselves like a trusting, dependent child, we meet the criteria. However, Jesus then shifts His teaching to issue a warning against those who harm little children. 2) Quoting Isaiah chapter 3 verse 12, Dave goes on a mini rant about how people have lost the capacity …

1) In Genesis Chapter 5, verse 18, we learn that Jared was 162 years old when he fathered Enoch. Enoch's introduction to the Bible significantly alters many people's thought processes. It is here that we discover that pursuing God creates an immeasurable eternal value. 2) It's likely not a coincidence that Enoch, who was translated, raptured, or me…

A) In 2 Timothy Chapter 3, Verse 10, Paul urges his protégé, Timothy, to remember that he has carefully followed Paul’s example in many aspects of life. These include his doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, persecutions, and afflictions. In fact, Paul enumerates nine distinct areas in which Timothy has emulated him. B) Paul’s …

1) Yay, it’s Friday! Welcome to Dr. Dave’s Devotional Diamonds of the Day, also known as DDDD’s. Let’s dive into a couple of classics. This one’s called “Check It Out”. One of the challenges within the church is the urgency to declare the gospel, with the implication that if you don’t accept it, you’re doomed. This approach can be off-putting and d…

A) James 5:12 states; Never take an oath: an oath is defined as to agree to a pledge of truthfulness or faithful performance. It has become a normal part of speech these days when people say, “I swear.” The truth is that I grew up with this. But in this context, it has to do with going to the extreme, because the person is swearing by Heaven of by …

1) We find ourselves in Acts, Chapter 26, verse 17. It doesn't get better than this. Jesus is speaking to Saul, who is yet to undergo his name change to Paul. Some biblical scholars interpret the word 'Saul' to mean 'destroyer', while 'Paul' is believed to mean 'builder'. Jesus explains to Saul the transformative journey that lies ahead, and it's n…

A) As we get closer to concluding the Book of Jude, we resume at verse 18. The author states, “In the last times, there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly ways.” Let’s first define a scoffer. A scoffer is someone who mocks or treats something with contempt or derision. In the context of the Christian faith, we can identify the usual…

1) It's another off-the-rails show on the David Spoon Experience! David delves into Psalm 52:12, where King David asks the Lord to restore his joy of salvation. In an ironic twist, David Spoon finds himself caught up in doing things for the Lord without quickly attending to the Lord of the work. In other words, he got busy with ministry tasks but n…

A) It's another explosive show on the David Spoon Experience! Our great friend Sergio calls in while studying the book of Leviticus. He seeks to understand which laws still apply to us today. Do any of them? How should modern Christians approach these ancient laws?B) David responds by explaining the distinctions within the law: the moral, the civil…

1) Our faith is rooted in Father Abraham, who was declared righteous because of his faith in God. This underscores the importance of faith on a daily basis. However, verse 24 makes it clear that this was for our benefit as well as for Abraham's. God will declare us righteous if we believe and exercise faith, but that faith must be placed in God and…

A) Jesus promptly dismantles their theology. He calls a small child to Him, placing the child among them. He then delivers a stark truth: unless they repent and become like a little child, they will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. This is a profound way of saying that their quest for greatness is sinful. B) The problem is straightforward. The disc…
