What does Tribe teach about antisemitism church?

Drawn from the message where it was actually addressed: the words said from the front, the passages taught, and where to hear the whole thing.

At Tribe, the teaching on antisemitism is rooted in a convictions about what the Bible actually says about Israel, and Pastor Brian treats careless or contemptuous thinking about Israel as something the church cannot afford. He describes God's commitment to Israel as unbreakable, pointing to passages in Isaiah and Jeremiah where God uses the strongest possible language to say that Israel is never out of his sight and that he will never cast her off. The weight of that biblical testimony, Brian argues, means Israel is not a niche subject a church can safely set aside.

Brian frames the church's current moment the way earlier generations faced other defining questions: the divinity of Christ, the authority of scripture, grace versus works. He teaches that how this generation thinks about Israel is that kind of fork in the road, and that getting it wrong does not stay abstract. History shows, and the teaching is direct about this, that failure to think rightly about Israel leads predictably toward antisemitism. The sheer volume of scripture on Israel, which Brian counts at roughly 3,500 references, is part of his argument: a church that majors on the majors cannot treat Israel as an afterthought.

The series called Unbreakable is the most direct Tribe has been on this subject. Brian is careful to say it is not a political series, though it carries political implications. The aim is to help the congregation sit with what the Bible actually teaches about Israel rather than rushing past it to personal application, and to recognize that indifference or hostility toward Israel stands in tension with the God who says Jerusalem is always before him.
