Funny story about Seth’s post…before this post on overdelivering he posted a note about a webcast that is coming up. I jumped over to the site, on24 I think, to sign up and they had a note about a nice little bonus for signing up, a discount on Seth’s new book.
Guess what, it’s not a discount it’s the usual Amazon price. Not very expensive, but certainly didn’t live up to the promise.
The take away here is that I’m sure it wasn’t Seth’s fault or doing. He simply gave someone the task and they added the little tidbit.
In the church we are often giving others instructions to carry out, be sure they understand the principles and not ‘adding’ to the event or executing the orders in a way that doesn’t tell the same story as you are trying to tell.

Thanks for the encouragement. We’re beginning a series tomorrow morning that can prove to be life-changing. Even though I felt like God has put this series on my heart and has even started to work in our church as we prepare for it, I have to admit that I am a little hesitant as I promote it- will God come through? Will the promises I made about this series of messages only let people down?
I appreciate your encouragement- “when it comes to your message, remember: no promise is too big.”
