    3. The Persecuted Church (Justin Martyr responds) - Jonathan Omara

    Tacitus, for example, a 1st century writer who was not a believer, indicated how Emperor Nero blamed Christians for the Great Fire of Rome that happened in AD 64. There was a rumor that Nero played a part in causing this fire and, whether the rumor was true or not, he diverted the attention to the Christians, saying that they did it, and Tacitus writes that he, “inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called "Christians" by the populace."

    2. The birth, growth and formation of the Apostolic Church - Manzi Kagina

    Jesus Christ builds His Church through the power of the Holy Spirit, beginning in Jerusalem at Pentecost and extending the gospel throughout the Roman world through the witness of the apostles. Key Text: Acts 1:8 The book of Acts is the first volume of church history. It records the story of the church from its explosive beginning on the Day of Pentecost to the imprisonment of Paul at Rome, one of its greatest missionaries. During those three decades, the church expanded from a small group of Jewish believers gathered in Jerusalem to embrace thousands in dozens of congregations throughout the Roman world. Acts describes how the Spirit of God superintended, controlled, and empowered the expansion of the church. Indeed, the book could well be called “The Acts of the Holy Spirit Through the Apostles.”
