“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you.” (Philippians 1:3)
We frequently see this verse of scripture on greeting cards and notes exchanged between Christians.
The Philippian jailer and his household probably made up part of the church of Philippi. Paul probably remembered the jailer’s conversion and the hospitality he showed Paul and Silas.
Lydia, the seller of purple, from the city of Thyatira, was the first convert at Philippi. When Paul and Silas left their friend, the jailer, they went to Lydia’s house. She was probably part of the Philippian church along with her household.
Then there was the damsel possessed with a spirit of divination. She was saved and was likely a part of that church.
Oh, how sweet are the memories of a Spirit filled church made up of Spirit filled, Godly people. No wonder Paul said in this letter, “I thank by God upon every remembrance of you.”
