Pressure - A friend or Foe?

Memory Verse: 1 Timothy 6:6
"But godliness with contentment is great gain"

Lesson Text: Matthew: 13:3-8, 18 - 23

Lesson Introduction
Pressure is the amount of force applied to an rea on the surface of an object. At one time or the other, we have all had too much to eat leading to discomfort - pressure. When you continue to fill a balloon with air, at some point the balloon will burst because the pressure created by the air inside is too much for it to withstand.

Just like inanimate objects can be under pressure, humans are subject to pressure as well, however, the pressure we experience as humans has its roots in  what we feel (emotion) leading to physical effects on our minds and bodies (stress)
