Illustrating a Heart of Apostasy | Hebrews 3:7–11 | Kyle Swanson

Could your heart be growing harder toward God... without you even realizing it? Many people hear God's Word every week—but hearing isn't the same as obeying. In this message from Hebrews 3:7–11, Pastor Kyle Swanson unpacks God's loving warning against apostasy and explains how a heart can slowly drift away from Christ through unbelief and small daily compromises. You'll discover: ✅ What it really means to harden your heart. ✅ Why seeing more miracles or having more evidence doesn't create genuine faith. ✅ How small compromises quietly lead to spiritual drift. ✅ Five heart-searching questions every Christian should ask. ✅ How to remain faithful to Christ and enter God's promised rest. If you've ever wondered: "How do I know if my heart is growing hard?" "Can a Christian drift away from God?" "What does the Bible teach about apostasy?"
