Bob Russell (founder of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville) spoke in our Wednesday night class at Okolona. I have heard him speak a few times before tonight, and overall he didn't dissappoint. He has a gift, like all good speakers, of making scripture come alive. We were in 2 Kings and he spent the evening talking about the faith of Elisha.
I had read the story many times in the past, but he illuminated different aspects of the story I had never thought about. It is no wonder they are one of the biggest churches in the country.
Good preaching goes a long way. The story we believe to be true is the most amazing story ever told, but sometimes it isn't preached as such. The bible has a richness to it, and yet we find ways to 'dumb it down.'
Tonight was encouraging and I think all who attended were blessed.
