Days of Awe and a Call to Return to the Lord | Pastor Stephen Baberadt Jr.

We have entered the Ten Days of Awe—the sacred window between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Pastor Steve unpacks why God’s appointed times (the Moedim) still matter for every believer, how the Hebrew year 5787 speaks of the power of the mouth and of completion and holiness, and why Rosh Hashanah is literally “the feast no man knows the day or the hour.” These days are not optional tradition; they are God’s calendar for realignment. Teshuvah is the call of this season: return, declutter, and realign tongue, mind, and heart with the Word. It is not shame or striving; it is reconnecting to the Lord so we can stand ready before a holy God. Jesus has already fulfilled the atoning sacrifice of Yom Kippur. Now is the time to forgive, to be forgiven, and to prepare our lives for what God is about to do. 📌 Key Timestamps: 00:00:04 – Welcome and the Ten Days of Awe 00:02:41 – Happy New Year 5787 / Shana Tovah 00:05:10 – Hebrew letters, numbers, and the decade of the mouth 00:07:33 – God’s appointed times are for all His people 00:12:15 – Rosh Hashanah: the feast no man knows the day or hour 00:19:47 – The Ten Days of Awe and the call to repentance 00:25:06 – Teshuvah of the tongue, mind, and heart 00:29:11 – Yom Kippur and Jesus our atonement 00:32:47 – Closing prayer 🙏 Scriptures: Isaiah 55:8-9, 1 Corinthians 15:52, Lamentations 5:21 and many more
