LC: To write complex sentences using the conjunction 'so'.

- so – is used for showing the reason why something has happened.

LC: To identify what is meant by discipleship.
What do you already know about Christianity?
Before we start the lesson, you will complete a quiz on SeeSaw.
Do you have any special hobbies or talents you like to participate in?
Do you play sports, or cook or sew, or have a group that you’re a part of?
What would you do if someone told you that you had to give up that thing you really enjoy doing, just drop it all of a sudden?
You might be a little sad! But what if they told you that be letting go of that one hobby you love, you would be really great at doing something different?
Discipleship is a journey of spiritual growth. This growth happens as a person comes alongside another to witness to them, pray with them and study the Bible with them.
A disciple of Jesus is someone who is following Jesus, being changed by Jesus, and is committed to the mission of Jesus. A disciple strives to live more like him.
What is Jesus' mission? Why was he sent to earth?
Jesus came to earth to preach the Good News – to give people an understanding of the Kingdom of God and the eternal hope that they had through Him. And Jesus particularly delighted in doing this among the impoverished, the weak, the hurting and the rejected in society. Jesus not only preached the Good News through his words, but He powerfully demonstrated the Good News through his actions!
