Some cities have been called cities of joy but actually they have been cities of sin, he said. In this scripture passage it says that Philip went to a city in Samaria. Philip had a Greek background but he was a deacon - a lay person. He was the messenger to this city. This city became a city of joy because one person did the will of God by proclaiming Christ to them. Philip was also a man with a mission and a message. He preached Christ.
