A weekly podcast of sermons preached from the Tempe gathering of Missio Dei Communities
Missio Tempe Family,You have embodied the risen Christ throughout our city. You have laughed together.You have cried together.You have lived life, together. For all of the service to our neighbors and to each other, thank you. Go from this place, in the hope and peace of Christ, into the Missio Dei. As a family, we have now joined with Missio Dei Mesa. You can follow along with our sermon recordings in their podcast feed. Much love from all of us in the Missio family — thank you for following along!

Join Stephanie Weeden (and a couple of special guests!) as she guides us in thinking through Psalm 137.
Lord of Creation, create in us a new rhythm of life composed of hours that sustain rather than stress, of days that deliver rather than destroy, of time that tickles rather than tackles.Lord of Liberation, by the rhythm of your truth, set us free from the bondage and baggage that breaks us, from the Pharaohs and fellows who fail us, from the plans and pursuits that prey upon us.Lord of Resurrection, may we be raised into rhythms of your new life, dead to deceitful calendars, dead to fleeting friend requests, dead to the empty peace of our accomplishments.To our packed-full planned calendars, we bid, "Peace!" To our over-caffeinated consciences, we say, "Cease!" To our suffocating selves, Lord, grant us release.Drowning in a sea of deadlines and death chimes, we rest in you, our lifeline.By your ever-restful grace, allow us to enter your Sabbath rest .In the name of our Creator, our Liberator, our Resurrection and Life, we pray. Amen.Taken from: “Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals” by Shane Claiborne and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove.
O God, you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth,and sent your blessed Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near.Grant that people everywhere may seek after you and find you;bring the nations into your fold;pour out your Spirit upon all flesh;and hasten the coming of your kingdom;through Jesus Christ our Lord.Amen.
In this bonus pod from our Sunday Gathering on March 6th, Sarah casts the vision for our liturgy and Charlie calls us to three practices throughout the season of Lent.
Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love's sake. Amen.
