The word journey is interesting. Developed from Latin, it originally meant a daily portion. It developed into the Old French word that is transliterated into our English word, journey. It came to be understood as a day's work or a day's travel. Today, we use it to mean traveling from one place to another. The word journey sounds more exciting and adventurous than the word travel. As a matter of fact, we use the word journey to communicate a long and difficult process of transformation and personal change. This will certainly take place for Paul during the Second Missionary Journey.
Paul will begin this transformation with both Silas and Timothy. The team will establish works in Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens, and Corinth before they return to Antioch at the completion of their journey. It is the establishing of the Philippian church that is important for us this evening. This background will help us as we study this letter in the weeks ahead. Acts 16 develops three key citizens of Philippi: Lydia, a demon-possessed slave-girl, and a jailer.
