It is estimated that around 100,000 Christians died during Nero's persecution, accounting for 1/10 to 1/20 of Rome's population at the time.

The early Christian church faced periods of persecution from the Roman Empire between 64 AD and 313 AD. Christians were harassed and killed for their beliefs, as they refused to worship Roman gods or the emperor. Their beliefs were seen as treasonous. Many early church leaders and missionaries, such as Peter, Paul, and Polycarp, were martyred through methods like crucifixion, burning, and wild animals. However, Christianity continued to spread rapidly despite the persecution. Eventually, Constantine issued the Edict of Milan in 313 AD granting religious tolerance to Christianity.Mi 361 lesson 4 persecution early church-19th century

Christians were persecuted for refusing to worship Roman gods, meeting secretly, and being seen as disloyal. Persecution methods included torture, exile, burning, feeding to lions, and crucifixion.

Initially, Christianity was considered a sect of Judaism by Romans and afforded the same legal protections as Judaism. However, theological differences emerged in the New Testament, with Christians separating themselves from traditional Jewish beliefs and practices. The destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD marked a defining break, as Judaism and Christianity each underwent redefinitions centered on their distinct religious identities and leadership.EARLY CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION.pptx

In ministry, women have diverse roles focused on service, discipleship, and support, contributing to the church and community through various activities.

Spiritual Disciplines:

Support and Encouragement:

Discipleship is important because it fosters spiritual growth, deepens a believer's relationship with God, and equips them to live out their faith and share it with others. It's a process of learning, growing, and becoming more like Christ, guided by God's Word and through relationships with other believers.
Here's a more detailed look at why discipleship is important:
1. Fulfilling the Great Commission:
Jesus commanded his followers to "make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19-20).
Discipleship is the practical outworking of this command, going beyond initial conversion to ongoing growth and transformation.
It involves teaching believers to obey all that Jesus commanded, not just initial beliefs.
2. Growing in Spiritual Maturity:
Discipleship helps believers mature in their faith, moving beyond basic understanding to a deeper knowledge of God and His will.
It involves learning to apply biblical principles to all areas of life, including relationships, work, and service.
Through discipleship, believers can develop Christ-like character traits and learn to live a life of purpose and meaning.
3. Building Stronger Communities:
Discipleship fosters unity and mutual support within the church community.
It encourages believers to encourage, challenge, and pray for one another.
When believers are actively involved in discipleship, they are more likely to participate in church life and contribute their gifts to the body of Christ.
4. Empowering Believers to Share Their Faith:
Discipleship equips believers to effectively share their faith with others and invite them to follow Jesus.
It provides the tools and confidence needed to disciple others, creating a ripple effect of spiritual growth.
Discipleship is not just about personal growth; it's also about reaching out to the world with the love and message of Christ.
5. Impacting the World for Christ:
Discipleship is essential for building a strong and vibrant church that can impact communities and the world for Christ.
Disciples who are equipped to live out their faith can make a significant difference in their families, workplaces, and neighborhoods.
By making disciples, the church can continue to grow and fulfill its mission of reaching the lost and transforming lives. Despite the benefits, many self-professing Christians today are not involved in discipleship. A recent study from the Barna Group showed that 39% of Christians were not engaged in discipleship at allthat is a huge percentage! And while 61% said they were involved in some level of discipleship, there are different levels of involvement.
In the Barna study, they defined Christians who were engaged in discipleship community as those who were both being discipled by someone and discipling others. We understand that discipleship is a broad term, and can encompass many things. For reference, here is how we define discipleship at Life on Life:

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Ephesians 6:1-3 Honour thy father with thy whole heart, and forget not the sorrows of thy mother. Remember that thou wast begotten of them; and how canst thou recompense them the things that they have done for thee?
