The car has had some trouble starting but now it does not start at all. I attached a pressure gauge to the fuel rail and I do not receive any pressure when I turn the key to the on spot, or when I try to start the vehicle. All the fuses are good. The fuel pump and filter were replaced recently and the car functioned for a couple of months after that with good pressure readings. There is voltage traveling to the fuel pump. Each spark plug wire produced a spark when I used a spark tester. What would you recommend I check next?

IF you don't have fuel pressure, check to see that power is getting to the pump. If it is, the pump went south.
