What does Tribe teach about asbury revival?
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 the Asbury revival came up during the second week of the "Turn the Cat Around" series, when Pastor Brian opened the floor for the congregation to share what they knew and felt about what was happening at Asbury University. People brought firsthand accounts, wrestled with whether it qualified as true revival, and some expressed disappointment that crowds had been turned away. Brian said he was cautiously optimistic, and while he pushed back gently on the label, he was clear that God was evidently up to something real.
Connected to that conversation, Brian mentioned a prophecy from a man named Bob Jones, who had said to expect revival when the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl, and he tied that to what seemed to be unfolding at Asbury. The discussion was honest and unhurried, reflecting the same theme that ran through the rest of the service: being in God's presence matters, and what He does there is not always predictable or something anyone specifically asked for.
The Asbury conversation was not the main text of the message, but it grew naturally out of a service that had already been shaped by a testimony of unexpected physical healing during a prayer meeting. For this congregation, the revival was less a headline to analyze and more a living example of the kind of thing they were already paying attention to.
Taught from Judges 6:1-27 · Joshua 24:16-24 · Luke 10:19
“He is under no obligation in perpetuity to answer any of your why questions.”

The passage taught · Joshua 24:16-24
16 The people answered, “Far be it from us that we should forsake Yahweh, to serve other gods;
17 for it is Yahweh our God who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way in which we went, and among all the peoples through the middle of whom we passed.
18 Yahweh drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who lived in the land. Therefore we also will serve Yahweh; for he is our God.”
19 Joshua said to the people, “You can’t serve Yahweh, for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God. He will not forgive your disobedience nor your sins.
