Pastor Derrill preached on “In a Slump” from Hebrews 3:7–19, reminding us that spiritual decline rarely begins with open rebellion—it begins with a heart that slowly grows hard toward God. Through disappointment, delay, pain, and unmet expectations, it’s possible to lose sensitivity to His voice without even realizing it. Hebrews gives a clear warning: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.” The danger is not just making bad decisions; it’s drifting away from God's presence by repeatedly ignoring His invitation to respond. A hardened heart forms gradually, one compromise and one ignored prompting at a time. This message calls us back to honesty and responsiveness. The way we stay soft toward God is not by pretending everything is fine, but by bringing our real struggles, questions, and disappointments to Him. When we remain open and honest before God, we position ourselves to hear His voice and experience His presence once again.
