1) Here we are in chapter 7 of Romans, picking it up right at verse 5, and Paul is not pulling any punches. He’s made it quite clear that we are all under the bondage of sin until the deliverance of Jesus Christ. Chapters 1-3 put everyone in the crossfire of being in sin. Chapters 4-5 make it clear that faith is the ticket to the grace that God has…

A) Jesus' response is quite classical. He says, "Why do you call me good? Only God is good." This is Jesus' way of saying, "You are asking a teacher for wisdom and advice, but you don't recognize who you're actually asking. You are asking God; you just haven't figured that out yet, but you will in about 60 seconds." B) Jesus tells him that to recei…

1) In Genesis 8:22, it is noted that there will always be springtime, harvest, cold, heat, winter, and summer. To all the environmental cultists: just read Genesis 8:22—it would solve a lot of problems. 2) As we pick it up in Genesis 9:1, God blesses Noah and his sons and tells them to multiply and fill the earth. This is definitely not the worst c…

A) As is always the case with true believers, Paul remains steadfast, asserting that the Lord stood by him and fortified him. Despite feeling abandoned from a human perspective, the divine perspective remained unwavering. The Lord not only stood with Paul but also provided encouragement and strength. B) Here's the key point: the Lord stood with Pau…

1) The second part of the show also goes nowhere close to what the notes were, as David shares a couple of different elements of faith while at the same time driving home the power of DNA. 2) Rodger calls in again for an update on how he and his wife are doing, and David takes time to pray. Joyanne calls in with an incredible testimony that is mind…

A) Okie dokie, today's show goes in a completely different direction as The David Spoon Experience was set up for an interview with Eddie DeGarmo, but there was a mix-up in communication. So, David shares from an impromptu point of view what he went through during his devotional time this morning. B) David was reviewing Mark chapter 5, verses 34-36…

1) There’s an additional fascinating portion of text in verse 11, where it says after they were shipwrecked for three months, they went on another ship, an Alexandrian ship with twin gods as the figurehead. These were the twin gods, Castor and Pollux. What I want you to catch is that this was a pagan ship. But guess what? The Christians went on it.…

A) Back to the Book of Revelation. We pick it up in chapter one, verse 11. If you have not noticed, we're taking this very slowly, piece by piece, on purpose. Jesus speaks to John, saying, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last." Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, which for us is the A to the Z. He’s also the First and the Last. What …

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 m…

A) As we enter Psalm 56, we acknowledge that several scholars consider this the Psalm when David initially fled from Saul and went to Gath. It was a very tough time and a very tough surrounding. The first thing he says before the Lord is, "Be merciful to me, O God." If it were up to mankind, they would swallow him whole. David is expressing his str…

1) You have to love it that we're in Romans chapter 7, starting with verse 1. Paul has established that everybody is guilty before God Almighty, but there is redemption through Jesus Christ. In that redemption, we are not bound by the law. He starts off in verse 1 by saying, "Don't you know the law only applies to a person that is living?" Wait a m…

A) Matthew chapter 19, verse 16, is where the rich young man comes up to Jesus and asks, "What must I do to have eternal life?" Right away, he starts with the wrong idea: he believes he must do something through his own power, strength, or purchasing ability to obtain eternal life. B) Jesus' response is quite classical. He says, "Why do you call me…

1) We pick up our journey in Genesis chapter 8, verse 13, where we find out that Noah is 601 years old. Ten and a half months after the process began, Noah could see that the water was drying up. Verse 14 teaches us that two more months went by, so Noah and his family spent an entire year plus in the ark with the animals. 2) It's worth noting how l…

A) **2 Timothy 4:14** highlights the stark reality of significant resistance to Christ's teachings worldwide. Some of this resistance stems from religious beliefs born out of deception. Another form of resistance to Christian truth comes from individuals unwilling to lose money as their businesses are impacted by Christian values. Alexander is an e…

1) Calling all secular progressives, calling all secular progressives. You are hereby put on notice that you are cursed. What? Dr. Spoon, you can’t say something like that. You’re right. I can’t, but God can. And as we examine Jeremiah, chapter 17, we find out that’s exactly the case because people who are secular progressives are people who put th…

A) Let's return to 3rd John, picking it up at verse 9. In this small letter, we get a glimpse of the early church. We can already determine that in the first 60 years, there were already people in the church who were difficult to deal with. If anyone thinks that church leadership was much better back then, they haven't read much of their Bible. B) …

1) To show you how fast opinions change, they thought that Paul would die, but the fact that he didn’t die made them quickly change their minds and say that he was a god. So he went from a murderer to being a god in one event. That should give a great indication of how stable or unstable people can be. That is why we live by the truth; only the tru…

A) As promised, and with loads of fun, we’re diving back into the Book of Revelation, starting from chapter one, verse eleven. Picking up about halfway through the verse, it says this: "What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches." The churches are in Asia: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.…

1) The classics are classics, and there are few better teachings than this one, entitled "The Turtle Wins." It is one of Aesop’s fables and yet strangely biblical. But how can this be? It’s simple. God’s principles predate everything else, even when it comes to the Code of Hammurabi. 2) Here’s the bottom line: the Christian journey is not one of ab…

A) The profound message that Psalms convey is that even in our darkest moments, there is a ray of hope that emanates from the Son of God Himself. Psalm 55:20 discusses someone who has violated a covenant. This could be a family member or a friend, but it's someone within our trusted circle. This brings to mind the song "Will the Circle Be Unbroken"…

1) Let’s dive back into the story at Genesis chapter 8, verse 1. Here, we’re told that God remembered Noah. Now, this isn’t about God having a memory lapse about who Noah was. It’s more about God putting His promise to Noah at the forefront of His divine agenda, ready to take action and help out. And how did He do that? By sending a wind to sweep o…

A) The David Spoon Experience rock and rolls (our feet on The Rock and our names are on The Roll), with a smash-and-grab of the truth Monday. Dr. Dave jumps into Second Timothy chapter 4, verse 11, and shows a connection to one of the most unpreached verses in the New Testament. The passage reads, "Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with …

1) It’s Friday, and Fridays are known for Dr. Dave’s devotional diamonds of the day. While we’ve had fun and I have almost finished the book of Acts, we’re going to backtrack into a particular section for two of our teachings. These teachings are fantastic if we apply them to our lives and mix them with faith. The first one has to do with how to ha…

A) The apostle then advises that we should send people on their way in a manner worthy of God. This means that when we assist others, whether through time, treasure, or talent, we should do so in a way that reflects our faith in the Lord, not our budget. B) John highlights that those who have gone out in the name of the Lord did so in faith. They t…
