Gospel Courage

1 Thessalonians 2:1-2

You know, brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not without results. We had previously suffered and been treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in the face of strong opposition. (NIVUK)

Paul's gospel mission was dangerous. Before arriving in Thessalonica, he and Silas had commanded an evil spirit to leave a disturbed slave girl, in Philippi. Her owners made money out of her occult predictions, and they were very angry that their source of income had gone. They dragged Paul and Silas to the marketplace accusing them of practising an illegal religion. That excited a mob to attack the Christians and, to restore public order, the magistrates ordered that they be stripped and severely flogged in public before being shackled (Acts 16:16-40).
