About

Dr. Adrian Platts' sermon, "Learning to Walk," explores what it truly means to live a Christian life worthy of God's calling, drawing from Ephesians 4. He emphasizes that the Christian walk is marked by humility, gentleness, patience, love, and unity rather than legalism, guilt, or striving to earn God's favor. Through personal stories and practical examples, he illustrates how kindness leaves lasting healing while harshness leaves lasting scars, reminding believers that spiritual growth is a lifelong journey. The sermon highlights that salvation is a free gift of God's grace through Jesus Christ, not something that can ever be earned through good works. Because believers have already been accepted by God, they are called to preserve the unity of the Spirit, live joyfully in the assurance of salvation, and respond to God's love with lives that reflect Christ's character. Ultimately, Christians are invited to stop trying to "balance the scales" through performance and instead walk daily in gratitude, grace, and the unshakable oneness they already share in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
