The Dark Is Where God Does His Best Work | Psalm 23:3-4
"He restores my soul."
We know the words. Most of us learned them young enough that we can rattle off the whole psalm forwards and backwards — which is exactly why we miss what's in it.
In this message, Pastor PJ Charles sits inside two verses of Psalm 23 and asks the uncomfortable question underneath them: if God is leading me down the right path, why does the right path run through the valley of the shadow of death?
Along the way: what restoration actually costs, the difference between being valuable and being valued, why Pa...
Godfidence: When the Shepherd Is Yours
"Am I gonna be okay?"
If you've ever woken up with that question sitting on your chest, this one's for you. We're opening up Psalm 23 — probably the most famous chapter in the entire Bible — and Pastor Chad slows way down on just the first two verses.
It starts with a steak dinner, a friend who spent 25 years selling fear for a living, and a word you'll be carrying all week: Godfidence.
The confidence that doesn't come from the circumstances around you, but from the Shepherd who knows you, protects you, and directs you. If f...
Savor: When Trouble Surrounds You | Psalm 20 PT.2
Ever eaten a meal so fast you didn't actually taste it?
Pastor Tim says we do that with Scripture — we consume it and move on, then wonder why it hasn't changed us.
So this week, instead of moving to a new psalm, we go back to Psalm 20 and savor it.
Along the way: what "trouble" really means in the original language, why the psalm names the God of Jacob, the banner you rally under when the battle comes, and why Psalm 20 was never meant to be read without Psalm 21.
🙏 Go De...
Selah: When the Earth Gives Way | Psalm 20
Some weeks the sermon you planned isn't the sermon you need.
After a week of unexpected loss in our church family, Pastor Tim sets aside the schedule and opens Psalm 20 — a prayer for the day of trouble.
Along the way we sit with one small Hebrew word, Selah, and learn why God invites us to pause, breathe, cry, and pray before the song continues.
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

God Size Stories | Psalm 72
We say "it's all about Jesus" — but do we live like it?
In this powerful message from our year-long journey through the Psalms, Pastor Tim opens Psalm 72, David's prayer over Solomon that points far beyond Solomon to a greater King whose name endures forever and whose fame outlasts the sun.
✨ In this message:
Why Psalm 72 inspired the hymn "Hail to the Lord's Anointed" — and why it can only be about the MessiahYou can't have true justice without righteousness (Matthew 6:33)Righteousness isn't immediate — it's a lifestyle of consistent righteous choicesIn biblical thinking, a name rev...Psalm 45 | God's Kingdom Reigns throughout the World
"Therefore the nations will praise you forever and ever" (Psalm 45:17).
In this Blue Chair Conversation, Pastor Tim is joined by Pastor James Lynch of Freedom Village Church in Seoul, South Korea.
Together they open Psalm 45 — a Messianic psalm pointing to Christ and His bride, the church — and share testimonies of God's Kingdom at work across the world:
the radical devotion of the Korean church24 student baptisms, a visit to North Korea, seasons of cancer and COVID, a renovation battle in downtown Seoul, and a couple who carried the gospel from Seoul to a new chur...Psalm 2 | Declaration of Dependence
America just celebrated 250 years of independence — but this week's message flips the script.
Psalm 2 opens with nations plotting to throw off a king's rule, and it sounds noble... until you realize the King they're rebelling against is God.
The truth is, most of us never announce our rebellion. We rename it.
We rebel and call it freedom. We trade masters and call it independence. We avoid surrender and call it strength.Nobody decides to walk away from God in one dramatic moment — it happens one skipped Sunday, one small compromise, one quiet drift at a...
Control Is an Illusion, Confidence Is a Choice | Psalm 91
Life has a way of reminding us we're not nearly as in control as we think we are — one phone call, one diagnosis, one conversation can change everything.
This week, Pastor Chad opens up Psalm 91 and gets honest about a hard truth he's been learning over the last two years: control is an illusion, but confidence is a choice.
Walking through all 16 verses, he unpacks what it means to truly dwell in God's shelter, breaks down what El Shaddai actually means, and shares three things he tells himself every single morning to find confidence in th...
Psalm 112 | A Father that leaves a Spiritual Legacy
What does it actually mean to leave a legacy?
Not money.
Not a house.
Not memories at Disney World.
This week, Pastor Tim opens up Psalm 112 — a wisdom psalm parents have taught their kids for generations — to unpack what a true spiritual legacy looks like for fathers, mothers, grandparents, and anyone who wants one someday.
He shares some sobering stats (78% of dads don't talk faith with their kids), some surprisingly good news about Gen Z men and faith, and a line that'll stick with you: your legacy isn't what you...
Psalms 139 | God Knows us, Formed us and Sees us
What does it mean to be fully known — not just seen on the surface, but searched, understood, and valued at your deepest level?
In this week's message, Pastor Tim opens up Psalm 139 and walks through three truths that anchor the soul:
God knows you completelyGod's presence goes with you everywhereGod formed you with intention and purposeWhether you're carrying something heavy this week or just need a reminder that you're not forgotten — David's ancient words have something real to say to you today.
We're in the Psalms all year at Genesis Church Orlando, and...
Psalm 121 | Strapped In— Staying Close to the One Who Keeps You
The road is dangerous. The destination is uncertain. And you can’t control what happens tomorrow. Sound familiar?
In this episode, we open Psalm 121 and discover a Hebrew word that David repeats five times in six verses: Shamar — to guard, watch over, protect, and keep. It’s the word God uses to describe exactly how He holds onto you.
Through the story of a dad navigating New York City with his five-year-old daughter strapped to his chest, we see a picture of what it looks like to be kept close — safe from danger, guided through chaos, a...
Psalm 63 | A Thirst Only God Can Satisfy
In Psalm 63, David teaches us that the deepest needs of the human heart cannot be satisfied by changing circumstances. While living in the wilderness, David's greatest desire wasn't comfort, safety, or success—it was God Himself.
In this message, we explore what it means to thirst for God's presence, why His steadfast love is better than life, and how true satisfaction is found in Him alone.
If you've ever felt spiritually dry, restless, or longing for more, this conversation will encourage you to pursue the One who alone can satisfy your soul.

Late in the Witching Hour | Psalm 62
Have you ever found yourself awake in the dead of night, overwhelmed by racing thoughts, anxiety, or spiritual warfare? 🌌
In this powerful message, "Late in the Witching Hour," we dive deep into Psalm 62 to discover how to navigate the darkest, most vulnerable seasons of our lives. When the world is quiet but your mind is loud, where do you turn? King David shows us that true strength isn't found in fighting the night in our own power, but in finding a holy silence before God.
Join us as we uncover how to turn hours of iso...
Psalm 46 | Be Still and Know
When life feels overwhelming and chaos surrounds you, where do you turn?
In this message, “Be Still Through the Chaos” from Psalm 46, we explore how God remains our refuge and strength even in unstable seasons. This sermon is a reminder that peace is not found in the absence of trouble, but in the presence of God.
Through fear, uncertainty, and pressure, Psalm 46 calls us to be still, trust deeply, and remember that God is always near.

Psalms 131 | When Your Soul Won’t Slow Down
When your mind is overwhelmed and your soul feels restless, where do you turn?
In today’s teaching, we journey through Psalm 131 and discover the beauty of surrender, childlike trust, and true inner peace. “When Your Soul Won’t Slow Down” is a conversation about releasing control, calming the noise within, and resting in the presence of God.
If you’ve been carrying anxiety, pressure, fear, or emotional exhaustion, this episode will encourage your heart and remind you that peace is found not in having all the answers — but in trusting the One who...
Psalm 130 | Out of the depths mercy rises
Have you ever cried out to God from a place of deep pain, regret, or waiting?
In this week’s message from Psalm 130, we explore what it means to call out to God “from the depths” and discover the powerful truth that He not only hears us—but meets us with mercy, forgiveness, and hope.
This Psalm reminds us that no matter how far we feel, God’s grace reaches deeper. Waiting on Him isn’t passive—it’s filled with expectation, trust, and confidence in His character.
Whether you're in a season of struggle, sil...
Psalm 86 | How do I recognize signs from God?
How Do I Recognize Signs from God? (Psalm 86)
How do you know when God is speaking?
In this episode, we walk through Psalm 86—a heartfelt prayer from David that reveals how to recognize God’s movement in our lives. Instead of pointing us to dramatic or obvious signs, this Psalm invites us into something deeper: a life of humility, trust, and spiritual clarity.
David doesn’t just ask for answers—he asks for transformation: “Teach me your way… give me an undivided heart.”
Through this conversation, we unpack how God often speaks through...
Psalm 73 | When Life seems so Unfair
When life feels unfair, it can shake your perspective more than you realize.
In this episode, we walk through Psalm 73—a deeply honest reflection of envy, confusion, and almost losing faith while watching others seem to thrive without God. The psalmist brings us into that tension… but he doesn’t stay there.
Everything shifts at the turning point.
This teaching explores the internal struggle of comparison, the illusion of worldly success, and the clarity that comes when we step into God’s presence. It’s a reminder that what we see isn’t the full sto...
Psalm 16 | The Resurrection proves the promise (Easter Sunday)
Psalm 16 reminds us that God is not just our helper—He is our portion, our refuge, and our joy.
In this Easter-focused teaching, we explore how Psalm 16 points directly to the resurrection of Jesus and the unshakable hope we now have because of it.
When life feels uncertain, it’s easy to look for security in what we can control. But David shows us a different way—a life anchored in God’s presence.
This episode will help you:
Re-center your trust in GodIdentify what may be competing for your devotionDiscover the kind of...Psalm 118 | Hosanna! The Cornerstone Psalm
Psalm 118 is a declaration of victory in the middle of pressure.
On this Palm Sunday, Pastor Chad unpacks how God meets us in distress, strengthens us in the fight, and turns rejection into purpose. This Psalm points us to a deeper trust—not in people or circumstances—but in the unchanging goodness of God.
From “His love endures forever” to “the stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” this teaching reminds us that God is writing a bigger story—even through the hard parts.
If you’ve been feeling surrounded, stretched, or uncertain—this t...
Psalm 77 | In the Day of Trouble I Seek the Lord
What do you do when God feels silent? In this teaching on Psalm 77, we explore the tension between what we know is true and what we feel in the middle of hard seasons. This episode speaks to anyone walking through grief, uncertainty, waiting, or spiritual exhaustion.
Psalm 77 reminds us that lament is not the end of faith — it can be the path back to remembering God’s goodness. Tune in as we talk about honest prayer, the pain of silence, and the power of recalling what God has done.
A message for anyone needing hope, pers...
Psalm 31 | Blessed Assurance
Psalm 31 – Blessed Assurance | Genesis Church Orlando
What do you do when panic, loss, and unanswered questions all start to stack up at once? When your mind won’t slow down, your body feels the weight, and God seems silent or far away?
In this sermon from Genesis Church Orlando, we open Psalm 31 and lean into the theme “Blessed Assurance” — discovering how God meets us when affliction surrounds us on every side. Through Scripture, real‑life story, and honest reflection, we see that God’s presence doesn’t always remove the storm, but He covers us right in the mid...
Psalm 42 | As the deer pants...
In this week’s message, we explore Psalm 42, a powerful and deeply honest psalm about spiritual longing, discouragement, and hope in God. The psalmist captures the tension many believers experience—thirsting for God while wrestling with seasons of sorrow, doubt, and feeling distant from His presence.
Through the imagery of a deer longing for water, Psalm 42 reminds us that our souls were created to depend on God alone. Even when our hearts feel overwhelmed, the psalm calls us to speak truth to our souls and place our hope in the Lord again.
If you’ve ever a...
Psalm 13 | How long, O Lord?
How Long, O Lord? | A Teaching on Psalm 13
In this episode, we unpack Psalm 13 — a heartfelt prayer of lament where David cries out, “How long, O Lord?”
This message walks through the emotional journey of the psalm: from feeling forgotten, to boldly asking God for help, to ultimately declaring trust in His unfailing love. We explore how seasons of delay don’t mean God’s absence, and how honest lament can actually deepen our faith.
If you’ve ever wrestled with unanswered prayers or prolonged waiting, this episode will speak directly to your heart and re...
Psalms 34 | Come Taste and See
Come Taste and See – A Study Through Psalm 34
Psalm 34 is more than poetry — it’s an invitation.
In this episode, we unpack David’s call to “taste and see that the Lord is good” and explore what it looks like to experience God personally in the middle of fear, hardship, and uncertainty.
We talk about: • Choosing praise before the breakthrough • Seeking God as a lifestyle, not a last resort • The fear of the Lord as the pathway to real life • God’s nearness to the brokenhearted
This conversation will encourage you to move from simply kn...

Psalms 24 | Who is this King of Glory?
“Who Is This King of Glory?” is a message rooted in Psalm 24, a psalm that proclaims the Lord as Creator of all, holy in His presence, and victorious King of glory. We reflect on the question, “Who may ascend the hill of the Lord?” and see how Jesus, the one with clean hands and a pure heart, makes a way for us to draw near.
This episode calls listeners to open the “gates” of their hearts and lives so the King of glory may come in—bringing freedom, courage, and renewed worship.

Psalms 90 | Number Your Days
What if the way you think about time is shaping the way you live? In this episode, we dive into Psalm 90, one of the oldest psalms in Scripture, a powerful prayer attributed to Moses that confronts the brevity of life and the eternity of God.
Psalm 90 challenges a culture obsessed with hustle, productivity, and control, calling us instead to number our days, seek wisdom, and live with intention. This teaching explores what it means to trust God with our time, find purpose beyond our schedules, and rest in the steadfast love of an eternal God.
