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.
