Philippi in 1 Thessalonians 2
fih-LIP-eye
This place shows up in 1 Thessalonians 2:2: “but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
1 Thessalonians 2:2
“but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.”

When you hear philippi in 1 Thessalonians, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read 1 Thessalonians 2:2 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
