What does Tribe teach about jewish feasts?
Drawn from the messages 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 Jewish feasts starts with a reframe: Brian Hunter does not call them Jewish feasts at all. He calls them God's family traditions, shared with the Jewish people first but extended as an open invitation to everyone who belongs to God. Israel was simply the first ones invited in. The seven feasts belong to God, and his design in giving them was that his people would use them to remember what he has done, recalibrate away from the pace that work and school and the calendar pull everyone into, and rehearse for future events that have not yet unfolded.
The rehearsal piece carries the most weight in Brian's teaching. He grounds the word in the Hebrew behind 'holy convocation' in Leviticus 23, which carries the sense of gathering for the purpose of rehearsal. The spring feasts, Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Shavuot, have already been checked off. The crucifixion, burial, resurrection, and the giving of the Holy Spirit fulfilled each one exactly. The three fall feasts, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot, still have no check mark next to them. The Feast of Trumpets, Brian teaches, is a rehearsal for the return of Jesus and the rapture of the saints, connected to the trumpet imagery in 1 Corinthians 15 and 1 Thessalonians 4. Yom Kippur rehearses the physical return of Jesus to earth and the national mourning and liberation of Israel, drawn from Zechariah 12. The goal of observing these feasts now is that when those events begin to unfold, the congregation will be like Peter on the day of Pentecost, able to say 'this is that' rather than losing their footing.
This conversation at Tribe grew out of a question the leadership team asked coming out of COVID. Rather than rushing to get back on the world's rhythm, Brian led the church to ask what it would look like to get onto God's rhythm instead. That question pointed them toward the biblical feasts, and the teaching has continued year after year since. Brian says that if you allow the Lord to develop your worldview, you position yourself to be in a place of leadership and influence, calmness, and that steadiness is part of what rehearsing these traditions is meant to produce.

From The Feast of Trumpets： A Rehearsal for What's Coming
The passage taught · 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
