When you look at the Apostle Paul's initial visit to Macedonia on his Second Missionary Journey it might be easy to label his efforts a failure. He was whipped, beaten and jailed in his first town Philippi. He was forced into hiding and snuck out of town in the middle of the night in Thessaloniki. He had to flee Berea in front of another angry mob and ended up in Athens. Might seem like a failed effort, but Paul address's this "failure" in his 1st letter to the Church at Thessaloniki and puts his efforts in spiritual terms. This gives us a springboard to discuss success and failure in our culture and how seeming failure can actually be the path to great success. We also look at how our past failures can hinder our ability to be obedient to God. From 1st Thessalonians 2:1-2.
