Plenty Is Not Enough
Rev. Dr. Barbara Boyd, guest preacher at First Congregational Church of Norman, UCC -Oct 18, 2026Scripture: Philippians 4:10-13Guest preacher Rev. Dr. Barbara Boyd, retired Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Oklahoma and retired Presbyterian Church (USA) clergy, picks up where last week's reading left off, with Paul's words on having plenty and being in need. A troubled boy on a Texas ranch who grabs two watermelons, Ruth gleaning in the fields, and the hunger here in Oklahoma lead to a harder question. Paul learned to be content, but did Jesus ask for something more? Barbara preaches against the text and leaves us with one of Tom Boyd's favorite sayings: if I have two chairs and you have none, I am a thief.00:00 A Path of Light: Opening Prayer02:04 Thirty-Four Years Ordained03:10 Scripture: Philippians 4:10-1304:17 Jake and the Two Watermelons08:31 Plenty and Not So Much12:15 Ruth Gleans the Fields14:35 When Plenty Is Not Enough18:06 Preaching Against the Text19:57 Four Ways to Live with Wealth21:16 The Jesus Path: Want Less24:40 If I Have Two Chairs
