Truth or What You Want?

Dr Marks establishes a philosophical and theological foundation, arguing that God is the ground of all existence, the source of truth, love, and justice itself. Against that backdrop, Dr Marks examines how different figures in the trial narrative responded to truth when it threatened what they wanted, and challenges both believers and non-believers to honestly assess whether they are willing to follow Jesus when obedience carries a real cost. The sermon culminates in the identification of every person with Barabbas, the guilty one set free while the innocent Jesus took his place, presenting the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ as the only sufficient motivation for genuine surrender and transformation.
