There is That Scattereth, and Yet Increaseth • Mark Richards • 2023-11-26 | Little Vine Primitive Baptist Church

Summary

The sermon explores Proverbs 11:24, emphasizing the paradox that those who scatter or give generously increase, while those who withhold tend toward poverty. This truth is illustrated through the metaphor of a candle set on a candlestick in Luke 11, symbolizing Jesus Christ as the light of the world who increases by giving light rather than hiding it. The preacher connects this to John 1, highlighting Jesus as the Word made flesh who dwelt among us to reveal God's glory. The message encourages believers to be like the candle, shining their light openly to bless others and themselves.
