Sunday Worship
Wise Words
2 Timothy 4:6–8
April 21, 2024 at 10:00 AM
As we continue our sermon series on Paul’s last recorded letter, the part of the Bible we call 2nd Timothy, we will focus on the very personal words Paul pens as he prepares for the end of his life: "I have fought the good fight,” he writes to Timothy, "I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Greg Funderburk will lead us this Sunday exploring the notion of embedding ourselves in a worthy institution to “fight the good fight,” to run our race with intention and purpose with the finish line in mind all the while hewing to the virtues on which a lasting faith in God depends. This Sunday’s music will look backwards to the race we have already run in God’s faithfulness, while also looking forward to the finish line. The congregation will sing Higher Ground, We’ve Come This Far By Faith, and When We All Get to Heaven, and the Sanctuary Choir will offer Rise, Shine as a reminder of the eternal joy still to come. Join us this weekend in worship for some poignant wisdom from Paul’s last letter.
Monday Over Coffee: "A Certain Kind of Joy"
Baseball season has started, and I like baseball, which means I should be happy. But I’m not. Why? Because beginning now in the spring, through summer, and into early fall, my devotion to my favorite team unfortunately makes me vulnerable to wide and, some would say, silly mood swings based on something completely out of my control.

Tend the Table – Men's Fellowship
Join us for a multi-generational Tend the Table Men’s Fellowship event on Saturday, April 27 from 5:00 – 7:00 PM in Tribe Space/Gym. Tribe & Youth boys and adult men of all ages are invited to enjoy tournament-style games and the opportunity to connect and have fun with other South Main men. Cornhole and video game tournaments will be available to enjoy. If games aren’t your thing, then sit back and cheer on the Astros game while enjoying great fellowship.
Tend the Table – Women's Fellowship
There aren’t many places in our lives where we sit across table from women with wisdom and life experience beyond our own and women with fresh perspective and youthful passion different from our own. And fewer still are those places where those women are genuinely invested in us - our health and our joy - with an agape love and grace. We’ve planned exactly that place for the women and girls of South Main Baptist Church on the evening of Saturday, April 27. In addition to conversation and a lovely meal prepared by Miss Sherrie, Alicia Gilpin, M…
