Philippi named after Philip of Macedon. An important city, a Roman colony. (i.e. – a military position for the defense of the empire on the frontier. The lack of Jews in Philippi may be because of its status as a Roman colony.

community, no synagogue was allowed by Jewish custom.

the Lord works through the Word to open the hearts of men! (cf. Romans 1:16)
