In this episode of The Leader’s Notebook, I conclude the You’ve Got Mail series by returning to the Book of Revelation and asking what its message means for believers living in the world today. Revelation is not merely a sequence of end-times events to be organized into a timeline. It is a letter to the Church—a sweeping, symbolic vision that pulls back the curtain and reveals Jesus Christ as Lord over history, eternity, and every power that rises against Him.
We will explore the seals, trumpets, visions, beasts, and judgments of Revelation without losing sight of its central message: above every tyrant, conflict, and spirit of Antichrist stands the Lamb upon Mount Zion. Jesus is both the sacrificed Lamb and the conquering Lion, and all the redeemed stand with Him in victory. Revelation reminds us that the forces of darkness are real, but they are temporary. Christ will overcome them all.
The final message of Revelation is not fear, speculation, or confusion—it is grace. No matter what suffering, uncertainty, persecution, or hardship we face, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ remains with His people. We have received the message: Jesus is Lord, His victory is certain, and His grace will sustain us to the very end.

What a great sermon today by Pastor Travis Rutland (The Church at Liberty Square), on the authority of Christ. A faith-filled and faith-inspiring Word that blessed me and many.
Alison and I look forward to the Sunday service at The Church at Liberty Square (10:30). Our favorite preacher, Travis Rutland, will be preaching. He and our grandson, Mark, are just home from visiting Global Servants’ new work in Honduras.
Today’s reminder. Tomorrow is Sunday. I urge you to make it “go back to church” day. Has it been a while? It’s ok. You’ll be welcome. Management will be glad to see you and The Owner loves you. Sunday is church day.
In this episode of The Leader’s Notebook, I invite you to approach the Book of Revelation not as a complicated timeline to be decoded, but as a powerful revelation of Jesus Christ. Written by the Apostle John during his exile on Patmos, Revelation is both a letter to the Church and a sweeping spiritual vision filled with images, sounds, symbols, and promises. Rather than reading it like a Western textbook, we should experience it more like a great Hebrew opera—allowing its message to reveal the glory, authority, and ultimate victory of Christ.
We will examine Jesus’ letters to the seven churches and the message He gives to every generation: He knows the truth about His Church, He calls His people to overcome, and He promises eternal life and fellowship to those who hear His voice. Revelation was never intended to frighten believers with beasts, tribulation, or the spirit of Antichrist. It was written to assure us that evil is temporary, Christ is victorious, and the outcome has already been decided. No matter what happens in history, Jesus remains present among His people. The question is not whether difficulties will come, but whether we will listen to His voice, remain faithful, and live as overcomers.

It’s Sunday! It’s get up and get dressed and go to church day. It’s worship the Lord when worshiping does comes so easily day. It’s be with other believers day. It’s hear the Word and take it to heart day. It’s Sunday! PTL!
Tomorrow Alison and I will be worshipping at The Church at Liberty Square. Our son, Pastor Travis Rutland will preach and God will bless His Word and inhabit the worship. I hope you will be in just such a church.
In this episode of The Leader’s Notebook (Ep. 325), I invite you to listen beyond the words of the New Testament epistles and hear the voices of the men who wrote them. From James and Jude, the half-brothers of Jesus, to John, the beloved disciple, and Simon Peter, the bold apostle transformed by grace, these letters reveal not only doctrine but deeply personal encounters with Christ. Their writings are shaped by what they saw, what they lived, and how Jesus changed them.
We will explore practical faith in James, authentic worship in Jude, abiding love in John's letters, and the powerful testimony of Peter, who never forgot witnessing Christ's transfiguration. These epistles remind us that Christianity is not merely belief—it is a living relationship with the risen Son of God. As we hear the hearts behind these sacred letters, we are challenged to ask ourselves: What has convinced us that Jesus is truly Lord, and what truth are we building our lives upon?

We are sitting in the back porch enjoying the humming birds’ aerial combat. Their flight skills are impressive and their pugnacity is quite astonishing for creatures so small. Great entertainment!
