Title: “Joy No Matter What”
Series: The Book of Philippians

During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. From Troas we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrace, and the next day we went on to Neapolis. From there we traveled to Philippi, a Roman colony and the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days. —Acts 16:9-12 (NIV)

“No individual has any right to come into the world and go out of it without leaving behind him distinct and legitimite reasons for having passed through it.” —George Washington Carver
