Today we are continuing our series of messages from the gospel of Mark under the heading:
LIFE CHANGER … SOUL SAVER.
So take God's Word and turn with me to Mark chapter 5 as we continue learning about the challenge of changing. Hey .. it's not easy to change .. is it? Whether it is changing your way of living or your way of thinking … change is hard .. but not impossible.

Apparently, FACTS don't create lasting change because only one out of ten people will change, even in a crisis. So, it takes more than FACTS to bring change. What about FEAR?

The doctor says, "With your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, if you don't change, you're going to have a stroke, heart attack or die." And yet .. even in a crisis .. 90% of the patients won't change their lifestyles.
Well .. if it's not FACTS or FEAR ..perhaps it's FORCE. A wife says to her husband, "You either change, or I am leaving." All three of the big "F's" are in that one. Well .. case study after case study has taught us that none of the big 3 F's: FACTS .. FEAR and FORCE brings about lasting change. And yet .. those three are what most people depend upon to bring change to themselves or change for a loved one or friend leaving them frustrated and hopeless.
Well .. if those three are not change factors … what brings about lasting change? We've been learning that what's needed for change is FIRST, a new relationship that inspires and sustains hope. SECOND, from that new relationship comes a new way of thinking. And THIRD, from that new way of thinki ...
