Surely goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life. In this message from our Psalm 23 series, Pastor Alex Wilson unpacks what David meant when he said only goodness and mercy will pursue us. The Hebrew word for follow means to happily hunt. God does not chase you to harm you. He pursues you the way the Hound of Heaven pursues, unhurried and relentless, all the way to the cross. If you have ever felt too dirty or too far gone, this one is for you.

Pslams 23 Week 5.

You don’t always feel safe following Jesus, but feeling safe and being safe are two different things. In this message from Psalm 23:5, we walk through 4 things God wants you to know so you can stop waiting on the cliff and jump: you’re fed, you’re gated, you’re anointed, and you’re quenched.

Walk by faith, not by feelings.

Psalm 23:4, David shifts from talking *about* God to talking *to* God — and shows us how to walk through the darkest seasons of life without fear. Pastor Alex Wilson teaches that death hit Jesus on the cross so that for the believer, what's left is only a shadow. Whether you're in a season of grief, anxiety, broken relationships, financial stress, or spiritual darkness, this message will remind you that our God is not distant. He is the God of the valley — the One who steps off the mountain and walks with His sheep through every shadow.Topics covered:- Why Christianity is not a prosperity gospel- The omnipresence of God in dark seasons- The meaning of the shepherd's rod and staff- How the cross changes the way God deals with us- Why God *wants* to be with you in the mess—House Church Kauai is a family-integrated church gathering in a garage on Kauai, Hawaii and Pastor by Alex Wilson of AMEN PODCAST. We believe the local church gathers around the Word of God: expository preaching, family worship, and genuine community. LINKS Website: https://housechurchkauai.comPodcast (Spotify):

You’re not resting because you’re hungry, hunted, anxious, or afraid — and you can’t fix any of those on your own.

In part two of our series through Psalm 23, we slow down on a single line: “He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.” Drawing from Philip Keller’s A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23, we look at the four things a sheep needs before it will lie down — food, freedom from foes, freedom from flies, and freedom from fear — and how each one points us straight to Christ.

We’ll talk about why sheep can’t find pasture on their own, why Jesus called Himself “the door of the sheep” in John 10, and what the nose botfly has to do with the anxieties you didn’t ask for and can’t shake. We’ll see how Hebrews 2:14–15 promises freedom from the fear of death, and why rest isn’t something you achieve — it’s somewhere the Shepherd leads you.

On the cross, Jesus entered our unrest so we could enter His rest. If you’re tired, this one’s for you.

Filmed from the garage at House Church Kauai. Part 2 of 6.

The Lord is My Shepherd, I Shall Not Want | Psalm 23:1 | How to Lack Nothing

Welcome back to House Church. Today we’re starting a brand new series walking verse-by-verse through Psalm 23, the most well-known passage in all of Scripture. In this opening message, Pastor Alex unpacks Psalm 23:1 and gives you four steps to lacking nothing.

We live in a generation that is constantly scrolling, comparing, and chasing more. But David says something radical: “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” How do we get to a place where we can honestly say we have all that we need?

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

* Realize you are a sheep (Isaiah 53:6)

* Fear the Lord (Psalm 34:9, Proverbs 1:7)

* Deny deficiency (Genesis 48:15-16)

* Rest on Him (Luke 15:5)

You’ll also discover why God, the most powerful being in all creation, refers to Himself as a Shepherd, the lowest job in ancient society. Spoiler: He’s powerful, He’s personal, and He’s present.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re lacking something, that everyone else has what you don’t, or that God has somehow forgotten about you, this message is for you.

You didn’t pick Jesus. He picked you. In this final sermon from our Matthew series at House Church Kauai, Pastor Alex preaches through the Great Commission — Matthew 28:16-20 — and unpacks why making disciples isn’t optional, what it actually looks like in your everyday life, and how the authority of Christ and His constant presence change everything.

If you’ve ever felt unqualified to disciple someone, this one’s for you.

📖 Passage: Matthew 28:16-20 ⛪️ Location: House Church Kauai (South Shore) 🎙️ Podcast: Amen Podcast — verse-by-verse through Matthew

In this message:

* Why we need to make disciples (the authority of Christ)

* What “go, baptize, teach” actually means for your daily life

* Why baptism has lost its weight in modern Christianity

* The four marks of a true disciple: not pressured, not picky, not a pushover, a prayer warrior

* How Jesus can be on the throne AND with you at the same time

What did God save you from? Most Christians think about sin or hell — but Matthew 28 reveals something deeper: God saved you from yourself. In this sermon from House Church Kauai, we walk through the final cover-up in Matthew’s Gospel and discover three things that characterize every human life outside of Christ — decay, deception, and destruction — and the three things God replaces them with: growth, justification, and glorification. Whether you grew up in church or far from it, this message is for you. You are part of the “some.” And that changes everything.
