Have you heard the fairy tale of the "Little Red Hen?" In this tale, the hen seeks help to being food to the barnyard but none of her friends will help. She goes out alone and finds the wheat, plants it, tends to it, cuts it, has it milled and bakes the cake. After the cake is made, everyone wants a piece but she says no! Is this how God treats us?

7. This is how the
world works: if you
don’t put in, you
don’t get to take
out. You don’t get
to reap where you
did not sow!

8. 2Thessalonians 3:10
For even when we were with
you, we commanded you
this: If anyone will not
work, neither shall he eat.

9. This is how the
world works; but
it’s not the way
god works with his
children!

10. No Red Hen with God
• This was foreshadowed with God’s
providence for the Hebrews!

11. Deuteronomy 6:10-12
“So it shall be, when the LORD your God
brings you into the land of which He swore
to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob, to give you large and beautiful
cities which you did not build, houses full
of all good things, which you did not fill,

12. Deuteronomy 6:10-12
hewn-out wells which you did not dig,
vineyards and olive trees which you did
not plant—when you have eaten and are
full—then beware, lest you forget the LORD
who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
from the house of bondage.

13. Joshua 24:13
I have given you a land for which you
did not labor, and cities which you did
not build, and you dwell in them; you
eat of the vineyards and olive groves
which you did not plant.’

14. No Red Hen with God
• This was foreshadowed with God’s
providence for the Hebrews!
• It is not how He deals with us now!

15. Psalm 103:10
He has not dealt with us
according to our sins, nor
punished us according to our
iniquities.

16. Titus 3:3-7
3 For we ourselves were also once foolish,
disobedient, deceived, serving various
lusts and pleasures, living in malice and
envy, hateful and hating one another.
4 But when the kindness and the love of
God our Savior toward man appeared,

17. Titus 3:3-7
5 not by works of righteousness which
we have done, but according to His
mercy He saved us, through the washing
of regeneration and renewing of the Holy
Spirit, 6 whom He poured out on us
abundantly through Jesus Christ our

18. Titus 3:3-7
Savior, 7 that having been justified by His
grace we should become heirs according
to the hope of eternal life.

19. No Red Hen with God
• This was foreshadowed with God’s
providence for the Hebrews!
• It is not how He deals with us now!
• It is not the future He has planned for
us!

20. Ephesians 2:1-9
1 And you He made alive, who were dead in
trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once
walked according to the course of this
world, according to the prince of the
power of the air, the spirit who now works
in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom

21. Ephesians 2:1-9
also we all once conducted ourselves in the
lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of
the flesh and of the mind, and were by
nature children of wrath, just as the others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of
His great love with which He loved us,

22. Ephesians 2:1-9
5 even when we were dead in trespasses,
made us alive together with Christ (by
grace you have been saved), 6 and raised
us up together, and made us sit together in
the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in
the ages to come He might show the

23. Ephesians 2:1-9
exceeding riches of His grace in His
kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by
grace you have been saved through faith,
and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of
God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should
boast.

24. Ephesians 2:10
For we are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good
works, which God prepared
beforehand that we should walk in
them.
