Listen to a message from R.A. Martinez about "The Last Hurdle" on September 4th, 2026.

What if there's a third option for high school graduates, one your own family and church don't quite know how to celebrate? College gets a party. Enlisting gets a parade and a round of applause. But giving your life to people who have never once heard the name of Jesus tends to get met with a lot more questions than honor. Sending someone well costs a lot more than a nice goodbye at the door, and most of us have never had to reckon with what that actually costs. It'll change what you think the word "support" is supposed to mean. Nobody tells you the real cost going in. Some things you only understand once you've already said yes. www.mapsglobal.org l The MAPS Global Family exists to pray, preach, and sing until every nation sees and every nation sings of the worth of Jesus Christ and the task of the Great Commission is fulfilled in our generation.

Since when did serious become the same thing as spiritual? A lot of us have started treating joy like a beginner's virtue, something you grow out of as your walk with God matures. The truth runs the opposite direction: joy was never meant to fade as you mature, it was meant to deepen. What that actually looks like has less to do with feelings than you'd expect, and more to do with identity. Cynicism has been passing for maturity in a lot of us for a long time. Joy might be the more mature response after all. www.mapsglobal.org l The MAPS Global Family exists to pray, preach, and sing until every nation sees and every nation sings of the worth of Jesus Christ and the task of the Great Commission is fulfilled in our generation.

When the storm outgrows what you actually believe about God, what happens? How big is your view of who He really is, and does it hold when the wind picks up? Many of us are carrying hardened parts of our hearts that won't hold what God wants to plant there, no matter how much rain falls on them. Perhaps the storm is God's way of breaking up fallow ground. www.mapsglobal.org l The MAPS Global Family exists to pray, preach, and sing until every nation sees and every nation sings of the worth of Jesus Christ and the task of the Great Commission is fulfilled in our generation.

What happens when the passion you started with quietly runs out, and nobody around you seems to notice but you? There's a gap between how sold out you were at the beginning and how much of that now feels like performance, and most of us have just learned to live inside it. Abiding is not the same as producing, and trying harder is usually the opposite of what's actually needed. Running on your own love for God instead of His love for you will wear anyone out eventually. The way back isn't about doing more; it's slowing down to receive the free gift of the love of God. www.mapsglobal.org l The MAPS Global Family exists to pray, preach, and sing until every nation sees and every nation sings of the worth of Jesus Christ and the task of the Great Commission is fulfilled in our generation.

Why does a season that's supposed to be changing still feel exactly the same? The real reason a transition stalls out is rarely circumstances or timing. It's fear, quietly running the show when we've seen God do the impossible but still can't seem to take the next step. Let's not settle for simply knowing what God can do and actually trust Him with what's ahead. www.mapsglobal.org l The MAPS Global Family exists to pray, preach, and sing until every nation sees and every nation sings of the worth of Jesus Christ and the task of the Great Commission is fulfilled in our generation.

The Sermon of the Mount, recorded in Matthew 5-7, is Jesus' first public sermon and longest recorded in the gospels. Jesus' main focuses in these chapters is what we belong to (the Kingdom), who we belong to (the Father), and how we interact with both (love and obedience). It is the constitution of the "upside-down Kingdom". Here, losing is winning, suffering is joy, and enemies are loved. When people persecute us they get blessed. When there is division and strife, we stand as peacemakers. When we are struck with insults, we refuse to retaliate but instead manifest a crucified lamb. It is a kingdom where our time is not devoted to how much money we can make but how obedient we can be to the Father. It is where the meek inherit the earth not the strong and the politically savvy. In this kingdom, we give, pray and fast in secret and there is no need for anxiety concerning tomorrow. This is the only way of life for the Church and what it looks like to be a disciple of Jesus.

God desires a night and day prayer and worship expression that is free. Accusation looks to interrupt and destroy the priesthood. R.A. Martinez explains how we can eradicate shame through celebration and honor, expanding our priestly ministry and connection to the Lord.

Listen to a timely message from R. A. Martinez on the converging destinies of Israel, Islam, and the global Church.

We do not worship a memory, a memorial of what once was, or a teacher who has died. Christianity is not another dead religion. This morning and for all time we worship Him who is alive forevermore. We are here because we have all encountered a Person! With a billion saints gathered around the world today we declare, "We have seen him! We have seen his beauty!"

Through the cross, we have been joined to the Godhead forever in the Person of Jesus. Our hope is that through a massive divine initiative, God chose us, bought us, called us, raised us from the dead with Christ, justified us, and put His Spirit within us. He is working in us that which is pleasing in His sight to glorify us as surely as His Son's blood is of infinite value.

The crowd that shouted "hosanna" on Palm Sunday was the same crowd that would be shouting "crucify Him!" on Friday. What changed in 5 days?

Jesus did not fufill their expectations; He did what they did not expect and what they did not want Him to do.

Has unmet expectations caused you to miss the beauty of what Jesus is doing in you and with you?

Is God mostly sad, mostly mad or mostly glad? Listen as Chris Carter speaks to the MAPS family about the gentleness of God.

We are a spiritual family spread across multiple nations all bound together by the blood of a spotless Lamb, the worth of Jesus, the a great desire to host the presence of the living God among us day and night, and a passion to see people saved, healed, delivered, discipled, trained and sent. Listen to this message to hear about Who we are and What we do.

God is jealous to have a dwelling place in the cities of the earth, where the city hosts His presence. What ultimately happens in the atmosphere over a region is dictated by the saints or by demons if the saints abdicate their priestly position. Jesus is training a generation to tear down strongholds in the place of prayer and worship over nations.

Listen as R.A. Martinez speaks a message on Sending Sunday about our ambition for Jesus' inheritance in the nations.

The God who calls us to obedience, who judges the nations, who calls you to lay down your life, is the God who is gentle with you in your weakness and enjoys you even when you fall short. Altar calls and conferences cannot produce this one essential revelation in the heart of believer that is necessary for greatness. God delights in us even in our worst moments; He's not afraid of our weakness.

In this sermon, Chris Carter preaches a message about building spiritual family through focusing on healthy relationships.

In this sermon, Jason Hershey preaches a word on knowing God experientially at our First Friday gathering in January.

One of the first effects of the fall of humanity was the experience of shame. Adam and Eve hid their faces from the Father and covered themselves with the fig leaves of performance. Through the finished work of the cross, Jesus has broken the power of shame and delivered us from all of its deadly effects. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. He is raising up a church that will be a shame-free environment as He calls His people to come out of hiding and lift their heads in confidence to be present with Him and with each other in a culture of freedom and authenticity.

We are something more than servants and soldiers. We are the children of God. The Father's aim is to gather wandering sons to come home and stay home. There we mature into fathers and mothers who turn and welcome others home.
