SermonCast features the recorded preaching archives of Bob Russell, retired Senior Minister of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY.
“One of the most gifted preachers in America.” –Chuck Colson–
At just twenty-two years of age, Bob became the pastor of Southeast.
Today that small congregation of 120 members has become one of the largest churches in America, with 18,000 people attending the three worship services every weekend.
Bob retired from Southeast in June 2006.

Transition Plan, the new book from Bob Russell & Bryan Bucher is now available. To order Transition Plan just click on image.
It would be impossible for me to overstate my excitement about this book. Finally, someone has captured on paper the delicate transition of church leadership. Every church leader should read this book and create or review a transition strategy. I benefited from Bob’s wisdom long before the book was written. Randy Frazee and I are enjoying a successful partnership at the Oak Hills Church, largely due to Bob’s counsel. Bob and Dave model the careful, humble spirit needed to pass the baton. May we learn from their examples!” –Max Lucado
Bob Russell continues to have a worldwide Bible-teaching and leadership ministry.
Bob Russell Ministries produces Bible studies; provides training and mentoring of young pastors; and promotes unity among Christian churches and denominations through leadership training to local congregations.
Bob and his wife Judy have two married sons and six grandchildren.
Building the Future by Preserving the Past

“In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.” (1 Timothy 6:19)
