Unlike the carefully planned persecution of the Church in Jerusalem, the persecution of the Apostle Paul in Philippi arises out of chaos and runs through a series of rash reactions of the part of a host of low characters in the city. But senseless persecution is persecution all the same, and it's a problem for the Church. In the this sermon, we consider what the apostles taught the Church in the first century about how to deal with persecution, whether calculated or senseless.
