Until the establishment of the Philippian church,
Europe did not have the gospel. Passing from
Asia to Europe during his second preaching
effort, Paul sailed the Aegean Sea and came to
Samothracia, Neapolis and then to Philippi (Acts
16: 8-12).

Lydia, her household, and the jailer and his
household constituted the nucleus of the church
at Philippi (Acts 16: 14-40). About ten years
later, Paul wrote his prison letters (Philippians
one of the letters). Philippians beautifully
presents the life of the Christian.

"...in the church at Philippi, there was scarcely
anything which required rebuke; there was very
much that demanded commendation and gratitude.
Their conduct towards him, and their general
deportment, had been exemplary, generous, noble.
They had evinced for him the tenderest regard in his
troubles: providing for his wants, sending a special
messenger to supply him when no other opportunity
occurred, Philippians 4: 10, and sympathizing with
him in his trials; and they had, in the order, peace,
and harmony of the church, eminently adorned the
doctrine of the Saviour” (Barnes).
