Brian Smith, Student Pastor, encourages students to "reclaim their church" and emphasizes that they are the church now, not just the future of it. He urges them to set an example for other believers in faith, love, life, and purity, as Paul instructed Timothy. He highlights the importance of encouragement, not just as compliments, but as giving courage to others. He shares anecdotes illustrating true encouragement and the power of love and comfort within the church community. He stresses the necessity of the Holy Spirit's presence and guidance, comparing aligning with the Spirit to having the wind at your back. Brian's vision for the church includes members who encourage one another, offer comfort and love, are sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and demonstrate true humility by considering others more important than themselves, avoiding selfish ambition and division. He concludes with a prayer for these qualities to define their church and student ministry.
