In Matthew 11, while in prison, John the Baptist send his disciples to ask Jesus, "Are you the one who is to come or shall we look for another?" The one who had sacrificed so much and prepared the way for the unveiling of the Messiah, now sat in prison questioning whether or not he made the right decisions. John was offended at Jesus because of unmet expectations that caused Him to be blind to the...

R.A. Martinez speaks to our spiritual family on Baptism Sunday. The commandment and sacrament of water baptism is both a means of grace and a public confession of faith. The waters of baptism do more than wash away the sins we committed. We are  buried with Jesus  in baptism and joined to His finished work. When we go down into the watery grave with Jesus, our old man stays there, and a new creati...

Martinez speaks prophetically to the MAPS Global family, asking everyone to take...

Jesus wants to have a conversation with the church in your city. After nine months of walking through Revelation chapters 1-3, we must ask ourselves, "What is God saying to our spiritual family?" R.A. Martinez shares the conclusion to this series and the lessons learned from studying the Man Among the Lampstands and the Seven Letters. R.A. recaps the specific lessons learned from each letter writt...

Jesus wants to have a conversation with the Church in your city. In the Letter to the Church in Laodicea, Jesus measures the success of the church by their love and purity, willing spirit, and humility, which is opposite from how the world defines success. Jesus wants the church to, instead of manufacture revival, take His hand as he leads them into brokenness, a deep acknowledgment of insufficien...

Jesus is the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God. Because He is the source of life, He can tell us our true condition. Through the church in Laodicea, Jesus is inviting us to lay down areas of indifference and independence so that we can have intimate fellowship with Him. To those who overcome, there is an invitation to reign and rule with Him.

Jesus wants to have a conversation with the Church in your city. In the Letter to the Church in Philadelphia, Jesus encourages and exhorts the people to persevere, hold fast, and fix their attention upon eternity. Jesus emphasizes His care for His people as He intervenes to open and shut doors, helping those who are persecuted and in difficulty to fulfill His will. He then lays out the rewards to...

Jesus wants to have a conversation with the Church in your city. In Jesus's letter to the Church in Sardis, He is asking the leaders and believers "Where is the most important place for your name to be known?" The Church in Sardis had fallen asleep spiritually, coasting on their reputation as a revival church. In reality, they had lost a deep desire for God's presence, a hunger for the Word, and h...

The generation of the Lord's return will witness the greatest crisis that the earth has ever experienced as man's sin matures in unprecedented wickedness coinciding with the judgments of God in the nations. But that's not the end of the story! The most glorious days of the Church are coming when she is beatified in holiness, victorious in love, moving in power, and giving witness to the Gospel thr...

Fiery trials are part of Jesus' leadership over our lives to expose hidden areas of pride, self-exertion, selfish ambition, and by the grace of God produce greater measures of love and humility that will ultimately allow us to carry greater measures of authority and anointing. Walking through Song of Songs chapter 5, R.A. Martinez shares how worship in the midst of trials and accusation wins battl...

In this short break from The Seven Letters, Chris Carter speaks about the value we place on grieving losses in a healthy and holy way as a spiritual family. Allow your heart to soften as he shares a biblical basis for grief, the fruit that proper grieving produces, and tips for how to experience loss practically. We won't experience beauty without ashes, comfort without mourning, or joy without he...

Jesus wants to have a conversation with the church in your city.   R.A. Martinez looks at the letter to the church in Thyatira, the smallest church of Revelation 2-3. Yet, it was the longest letter penned by John from the mouth of Jesus. Jesus rebuked the church leaders for tolerating instead of confronting the teaching and influence of a woman He called Jezebel who was renowned not only in Thyati...
