What does Tribe teach about fine flour?
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 fine flour is rooted in the feast of Shavuot as described in Leviticus 23. The two loaves presented at Pentecost were made with fine flour, and the congregation worked through what that actually requires: the grain goes through the tribulum, a threshing instrument, before it becomes fine flour. That process is not incidental. It is the point.
Brian connects this image to the way God uses pressure and difficulty in the lives of believers. The fine flour does not arrive without the grain being broken down. That grinding process is what produces something fit for an offering. It is a picture of how God works in people before he works through them.
The two loaves, made with fine flour and presented together, are one of the central images Brian draws out from the Shavuot ordinance to show what Pentecost reveals about Jesus and his people. The detail is not decorative. It is there, he teaches, because God designed these feasts to carry meaning that repays careful attention.
Taught from Leviticus 23:15-21 · Acts 2:1-4
“The law reveals sin that condemns us, but the spirit reveals the Messiah who saves us.”
From Seven Lambs and Two Loaves
The passage taught · Acts 2:1-4
1 Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
