It's Not Business. It's Personal. // Bob Sorge

All too easily we handle our ministries like a business, measuring success by things like numbers, finances, profile, and "Likes." But to Jesus, ministry to His church is not business. It's personal. This short film is a gripping call to anyone involved in ministry or servant leadership in the church.

Thank you for this, Bob. What a needed message 11 years after you posted this.

I can recieve deeply what you say, because of your voice. At school, if we need the students to pay attention to us, and to hear what we say, a soft, slow/quiet and gentle voice is the best way to proceed. For myself, when I listen to sermons, audio books or scripture.. very often i slow the playback speed to 0.75, and I also turn the volume down. This slows the content so that i have time to process, and the low, gentle volume assists deep absorbing into my heart .. allows me to feed and drink of what God is saying . Your voice is deeply impacting
With you Bob, I dont have to adjust my settings.. your voice is totally beautiful ! A joy to listen to. Thank You

Your voice is beautiful, God has tuned your instrument in such a way that I feel compelled to listen closely... Not because I can not hear you but because, I need to hear you, you are doing exactly what God intends for you to do, and your doing it well. Pain can be beautiful when understood...
Thank you for continue to preach the word.

Lord Jesus I thank You for giving such a wonderful opportunity to be your bride. I choose to worship You in spirit and in truth. That's all that matters.

This video has marked me in ministry. I can’t even describe how much.

[aquaboost]

the heart of Jesus for His Bride is beginning to rise up in the Body of Christ through more and more men of God, its exciting to catch a glimpse of what is coming -it won't be church as status quo,

[alancraig]

This temptation is all too real and, I must admit that there are times I have failed miserably.  You are stepping on some toes here, including my own, but please don't stop!!  I really needed this reminder.

[lharoldsen]

I am a clinical social worker, not an ordained minister, but I see my job as helping bring people to the Healer. When I think of my practice as a business, I lose the joy. When I think of it as a ministry, I love what I do. It's easy to think of myself as a really good therapist and believe I'll find answers in the social sciences and research, but I know the only help that is worth much comes from Christ and when I forget myself and tap into His spirit, healing happens.

[JessicaOlivares]

One of the best books I've read, for everyone serving the Lord in any area of ministry this books is a MUST read. God bless you Mr. Sorge!

[LibertyNotLicense]

You are an astounding gift to us--one for which we often thank Him.
The Bride yet doesn't realize whom you are. But He does. And so do we. We love you, and pray for you, friend of the Bridegroom.

Such a "Powerfully permeating". message... only truth can accomplish such a task!

[OscarRamos-qlio]

Jesus is returning soon.

Jesus Christ is King.

[cherishdeb]

And yet it is so hard (on our flesh) to look to god for approval and not man.this video is awesome, I've read 2 of ur books, 'the fire of gods love' & 'the rejection & praise of man'. U r a seasoned believer & ur experiences helped me through some trying seasons that I would not have understood so clearly otherwise. I praise god 4 u.

[mattanddanacandler]

This message is powerful, can not say it any better than the video> 
It is personal. 
Joel, amazing job.

[AndresTorresd]

i would like to add spanish subtitles to this video, how can i do it?

[derricklogan]

I appreciate much of what Bob shared. However, the credits at the end of this video are filled with such irony that it soured the whole thing for me. Is that not the exact thing that he's speaking out against? After watching and absorbing this, why in the world would I care who created it or scored it? Come on, man.

"After I'm finished serving the bride, is she talking about me or is she talking about him?"

[AlBenTheWheat]

Awesome. Right from the start. It should be " Levite" to HaShem alone. Not Worship leader. Worship leader is already focusing on an audience. But Levites, minister to Him. What goes up certainly comes down too!!!!
