R.A. Martinez dives deep into the awe-inspiring worship of the heavenly throne room. He explores the transformative encounters between God and humanity, highlighting Moses at Mount Sinai and the significance of the tabernacle. The discussion emphasizes collective worship experiences over individualistic ones, promoting unity and creativity in praising God. Listeners are encouraged to redefine reverence, embracing expressive worship as a true connection to the divine. The idea of eternal worship underscores the need for a consistent, God-centered culture on earth.

At the core of everything we do here at MAPS Global is this fundamental truth: Jesus is Worthy. But what does it mean when we ascribe "worth" to Jesus? Many times we can be prone to religious rhetoric when we say the word "worthy". It is not just the right answer to a Sunday School question. "Jesus is Worthy" is a cost statement that demands a response. In this episode, R.A. Martinez talks about the first "why" at MAPS; the matchless worth of the Lamb of God that is the fuel and the finish line of all we do.

Following up from the last podcast about pipelines vs. buckets: as we wrap up 2023, we have exciting news to share about how you can double your end of year gift for the Great Commission. R.A. Martinez shares about this incredible opportunity as we prep to move into 2024 with strength. Keep listening as the episode transitions into a sermon about pipelines from R.A. Martinez at First Friday in June 2023. P.S. we are taking a podcast hiatus and will return in February with a whole new set of guests and discussions...See you next year!

R.A. Martinez sits down to discuss questions that come up often: what is tithing, should I do it and is it different than New Testament giving? In this episode, we walk through both the Old and New Testaments, looking at the examples of what God requires of his people when it comes to generosity. We believe that God is raising up pipelines for His purposes, not buckets for personal blessing.

God is a team and teams are a reflection of His glory. Jesus sent teams, the Apostles worked on teams, New Testament churches were led by teams, and sent out teams. Diverse and highly functioning teams are essential for leadership and for the fulfillment of the Great Commission. Join us on this podcast as we sit down with R.A. Martinez to discuss the non-negotiable of team leadership and keys that he has found to build successful teams.
