About this episode

Pastor Matt Clausen explores the life of David, focusing on themes of faith, failure, and the pursuit of God.

David: Faith, Failure, and the Pursuit of God David is one of the most well-known figures in Scripture—a shepherd, a warrior, a king, and a man after God’s own heart. But his story is not just one of victory; it is also marked by failure, brokenness, and repentance. In this series, we’ll walk through the life of David to discover what it means to pursue God in every season—when we are chosen, when we are tested, when we fail, and when we are restored. Series Memory Verse – Psalm 63:1 "O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water." Pastor Matt Clausen preaches from the Prior Lake Campus.
