Rosebank Union Sermon Audio

Richard explores the "strange" and often unsettling work of God in the lives of His people. Drawing from Isaiah 29, the message addresses the danger of "Ariel"—a Jerusalem that had become a center of religious activity but whose inhabitants' hearts were far from God. Richard challenges us to consider whether our own worship has become a mere means to an end or a cultural ritual used to manipulate God, rather than a genuine reorientation around His sovereign throne. This powerful call to move beyond empty religious performance invites us to examine the true seat of our affections and rediscover a faith rooted in an authentic, heart-led love for the Lord.
