In this message, Caleb explore what wisdom looks like in seasons of suffering, how God invites us to bring our honest struggles to Him, and how faith can endure even when answers seem distant. Join us as we learn from Job's raw and heartfelt response to suffering and discover hope in the midst of life's darkest moments.

In this message from our Wisdom series, we explore Ecclesiastes 3:1-14, a powerful reminder that there is a season for everything under heaven. Through times of joy and sorrow, planting and harvesting, we are invited to trust God's perfect timing and sovereign purpose in every stage of life. This passage teaches us that while we often desire control over our circumstances, God is the One who orders the seasons of our journey. Even when life feels uncertain or difficult, He is continually at work, weaving His purposes into a beautiful story that goes beyond what we can see.

In this week’s message, we explore how acknowledging the limits of life “under the sun” becomes the doorway to a deeper, God‑centered wisdom. Ecclesiastes doesn’t leave us in despair; it teaches us to see reality clearly so we can seek the One who stands beyond it.

In this message, Rinus talk about Wisdom. Wisdom calls out to all who will hear. Proverbs 8:1–11 paints a vivid picture of God’s wisdom standing in the open places of life at the crossroads, along the paths, at the city gates inviting us to pay attention. This passage reminds us that wisdom is not hidden or exclusive; it is offered openly, urging us to choose what is true, right, and good. Here we explore how Wisdom calls us to discernment, integrity, and understanding, and why her instruction is more valuable than silver, gold, or precious jewels.

In this series, Obed reminded us that compassion is the backbone of practical Christianity. Proverbs 24:10–12 teaches that real compassion doesn’t fade when we leave the sanctuary it is a daily, costly choice to stand with those in need. Wisdom calls us to act, to intervene, and to carry the weight of another’s burden with courage and faithfulness.

In this message, we explore how Proverbs invites us to read wisdom not as scattered sayings, but as a way of seeing the world shaped by God’s character. Proverbs 22:1–16 teaches us to pay attention to the patterns of life how choices form character, how humility protects us, and how integrity guides us. This passage helps us understand how to read Proverbs wisely: noticing contrasts, discerning the heart behind each saying, and learning how these teachings shape our everyday decisions. As we read Proverbs well, we begin to see how God forms wisdom in us through attentiveness, discipline, and a life rooted in His truth.

In this message, Rinus explores what Scripture calls the beginning of wisdom and how it shapes the way we navigate real life. Proverbs 9:1-12 invites us to see wisdom not just as knowledge, but as a way of living rooted in reverence for God, grounded in truth, and expressed through daily decisions.Rinus reflects on how we define wisdom, how we develop it over time, and how God forms us through instruction, correction, and discernment. This passage calls us to choose the path that leads to life, learning to walk wisely in the ordinary and complex moments we face each day.

As part of our forty‑year celebration, Caleb leads us deeper into the “Forty” series with a message on Where We’re Going, centered on Matthew 4:1–11. Through Jesus’ wilderness experience, he reminds us of the importance of stillness, calmness, and solitude as God shapes our future.

In recognition of Varsity Bible Church’s forty-year history, Rinus explores Deuteronomy 8:1–6, focusing on God’s provision and enduring presence. He reminds us that spiritual formation happens along the journey, shaping our character more than our accomplishments. The call is to reflect on who we are becoming.

In this series, Mat leads us into the heart of the gospel by focusing on Jesus—The Lord who saves (Matthew 1:21). He reminds us that Jesus is not only the Savior who rescues us from sin, but also the God who redeems, restores, and brings us into new life. Each week invites us to see the fullness of who Jesus is and the saving work He continues to do in us and through us.

In this series, Jenny talks about the promise of Immanuel—God with us from Isaiah 7:14. She explores how God’s presence is not distant or abstract, but deeply personal and near to His people. Through Scripture and reflection, Jenny helps us see how God’s nearness brings comfort in our fear, hope in our waiting, and strength in every season of life.

In this series, Alex explores the powerful moment in Judges 6 when Gideon encounters God and discovers Him as Jehovah Shalom — The Lord is Peace. Through Gideon’s fear, uncertainty, and feelings of inadequacy, God reveals a name that speaks directly into human chaos: a peace that doesn’t wait for circumstances to settle, but meets us right in the middle of them. Alex walks through Judges 6:22–24 to show how God transforms Gideon’s terror into trust, turning a trembling man into a worshipper who builds an altar to the Lord of Peace. This series invites us to see God the same way as the One who steps into our anxiety, our battles, and our questions with a peace that is steady, present, and stronger than anything we face.

In this Series, Jenna unpacks Genesis 16:13 and shares a beautiful reminder: God sees you, even when you feel invisible to the world around you. And just as He sees you, He also sees those we tend to pass by. This message encourages us to slow down, pay attention, and see others the way God does.

In this series, Ruth explores the name Adonai—our Lord and Master through the lens of Genesis 15:2. She highlights the life‑changing importance of recognizing who truly holds authority over your life and how surrendering to God’s leadership brings clarity, peace, and purpose.

In this message, we explore one of the most profound moments in Scripture God’s self‑revelation to Moses at the burning bush. When Moses asks for God’s name, the Lord responds with a declaration unlike any other: “I AM WHO I AM.” In that single statement, God reveals Himself as YHWH. The One who simply is. He is not defined by human categories, limited by human imagination, or shaped by human expectations. He exists by His own power, His own nature, and His own eternal presence.This sermon invites us to rediscover the God who cannot be boxed in or reduced to our assumptions. The God who is unchanging, self‑existent, and sovereign who meets His people with both mystery and intimacy. As we unpack the meaning of YHWH, we learn what it means to trust a God who defines Himself, reveals Himself, and remains forever faithful to His name.
