Do you have bicyclists at your church? Invite them to be involved in ministry together. Here are a few ideas:

“¢ Many cyclists are already riding for various good causes: diabetes and cancer research, to support the Arthritis Foundation, and many others. Support them financially and with prayer as they train and ride in these events. Sponsor a cycling team that wears jerseys with the church logo. Promote the events to get more people to ride for these causes. Show up and cheer along the course.

“¢ Members of Northeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, started a bicycling group with a nucleus of road and mountain bike riders from the church. They have built intentional community with one another and reached out to cyclists who do not have a church home or relationship with Christ.

“¢ Each week bicyclists at Newsong Church, based in Irvine, California, ride their bikes to local parks and distribute sack lunches and build relationships with people in the homeless community.

The Power of Repetition

One of the most significant things I learned over the course of more than four decades of preaching in the local church is people don’t need to be taught something new as much as they need to be reminded of what they already know.

Solutions for Ministry Stress

The fear of the Lord leads to a life of holiness and obedience, while the comfort of the Holy Spirit brings peace and strength amid trials. These two spiritual qualities enable us to be all God wants us to be as we seek to live out Jesus’ mission.
