Derek Thomas: What Is Truth?

Summary

The sermon explores the contemporary crisis of truth in a postmodern world, challenging relativistic and subjective views of knowledge by affirming biblical revelation as the ultimate standard of truth. Drawing on scripture and philosophical references, the speaker argues that God's revelation through creation and Scripture provides objective, authoritative truth that transcends cultural and personal perspectives. The key scriptural references include John 17:17, Romans 1, Psalm 19, and 2 Timothy 3:16, which are used to emphasize the Bible's divine inspiration, infallibility, and inerrancy as the definitive source of absolute truth. The practical takeaway is a call for Christians to trust in Scripture as the reliable, comprehensive guide for understanding reality and living righteously, rejecting contemporary attempts to deconstruct or relativize truth.
