Journey to the Resurrection (Part 3)

In Mark 15:1–15, we step into one of the most unjust trials in history, the trial of Jesus Christ. Though declared innocent by the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, Jesus is still sentenced to death. Why? Because pressure, politics, and pride outweighed truth.

This message explores the two phases of Jesus’ trial, the Jewish phase where He was declared guilty, and the Roman phase where He was declared not guilty, yet still condemned. We also uncover six clear injustices in the trial, revealing how both religious leaders and political authorities failed to uphold justice.

But this passage is not just history, it is deeply personal.

You will see yourself in the three groups present that day:

•The crowd, who resisted Jesus because they didn’t want to change

•Pilate, who knew the truth but chose convenience over conviction

•Barabbas, the guilty man who was set free while Jesus took his place

At the center of it all is the gospel: the innocent condemned so the guilty could go free.

If you’ve ever struggled with spiritual complacency, distraction, or fully surrendering your life to Christ, this sermon will challenge and encourage you. Mark 15 reminds us that neutrality is not an option, and that Jesus still offers grace to those who respond to Him.

Join us as we walk through the trial of Jesus and discover what it means for your life today.
