  1. Beyond Attendance: Building a Connected Class One Day Seminar By Scott Badgett

  2. Purpose • To determine from scripture how to develop a class that is “connected” and keep it from becoming “fragmented”.

  3. How do you think adults take to public recognition for their attendance and/or lack of attendance? What if you were the person always there (lot’s of stars)? What if you were the person that had a few to no stars? How would you feel? Does the attendance display truly promote unity? Connectedness? Competition?

  4. What does it say about a class as to what is important?

  5. 1 Samuel 15:22b …to obey is better than sacrifice… God desires us to have a heart of obedience and not just rote actions.

  6. Group 1 How would you describe a “connected class” (a.k.a. healthy class)? Group 2 How would you describe a “fragmented” or a “disconnected” class (a.k.a. unhealthy class)?

  7. What goes on in a “Connected Class”? • Real prayer • Sincere • Heartfelt • Real share time • Trusting • Open • Spending time together outside of class/church • In homes • For recreation • For ministry • Go through struggles/hardships together (not alone)

  8. What makes the difference in or what is the make-up of a “Connected Class”? • Holy Spirit • Matthew 18:20 “Where two or three…” • Acts 1:8 “…receive power…” • Acts 4:8 Peter became bold when addressing the Jewish leadership. • Acts 9:31 “…strengthened and encouraged…”

  9. How else does the Holy Spirit impact relationships, a class, and ministry?

  10. 2) Love others as yourself • Matthew 22:39 “…love your neighbor as yourself.” • Think about others and not just yourself • Be accepting of others (ex. Guests) • Be open, trustworthy

  11. 3) Be focused yet willing to change in order to be obedient • Matthew 6:33 “Seek you first the kingdom of God…” • Detour – still get to destination, but must overcome obstacles • Side trips may enrich the journey

  12. Recognize others’ gifts and allow them to minister using that gift (see how each fits into body). • 1 Cor. 12:4-11, 12, 26 • Different gifts (i.e. spiritual endowment) and same Spirit • Different ministries (i.e. service, ministering) and same Lord • Different activities (i.e. an effect, operation working) and same God
