Christ’s Prophetic Office – Firm Foundations #23
The church has traditionally recognised three ‘offices’ (or roles) of Christ – prophet, priest, and king. How should we relate to Christ as a prophet? What is a prophet, and what does it mean for us?

A picture of judgement and salvation – Genesis 6-8 Sermon
Noah and the Flood is one of the most popular and enduring Bible stories for children. But if we see it just as a children’s story, we will miss the fact that it is the most profound picture in the Bible of judgement and salvation through Jesus Christ.
