Acts 16 is the account of Paul and Silas bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ to Philippi. The presence of Christ filled this city as many turned to him repentance and faith, and then formed a church. Paul loved this new church. Later, he wrote the letter of Philippians to them. It, too, is filled with Christ. Today we take up this letter to fill our souls with Christ for his glory and our joy.
