Sarah trabajo inaplayan mo amita mam panahan para salahat

So every cloud has a silver lining.

So you word Madalas. Nothing.

human, you know, give them encouragement.

Saiba, Nick. Break ABBA.

Nathaniel. So there's a silver lining to

each of our dark clouds. So meaning Madam positive

hopeful and aspect. It was among a negative

situation and can we say silver lining in Abila manga believers

tied up, but black and white. Yes, my good days and bad days

pero para satin. Even in our bad days, there is

good the sobbing as a genuine Merriman cuddly man Simon

Donato. See Christo Satin Gap was a

journey or some pilgrimage. Nothing darkness, nothing.

Buhai please off walking through this darkness.

Really important place for us to know that while life is dark, so

there are bright ways of walking through it and there's a silver

lining to each of our dark cloud.

That was a passage poor nothing anyone facts of life in

articulate me Solomon. So firstly, the clouds of life

can be very dark and secondly, the lights behind the darkness

give hope. So part of our sermon points and

important highly again, the clouds of life can be very dark

and #2 the lights behind the darkness give hope.

Okay, so before we fully begin, let us all pray.

Heavenly Father, as we now turn to the preaching of Your Holy

Word, we depend upon You because apart from Your Spirit, we can

neither see nor understand the truth that gives life.

And as you have spoken in Scripture and through

ecclesiastics, for you teach us wisdom for our pilgrimage in a

world marked by toil, oppression, loneliness, and the

need for godly companionship. So grant all, Lord, that Your

Spirit would open our minds and soften our hearts and remove all

our every distraction, every thought, prideful thought, and

every fear that keeps You from keeps us from receiving Your

Word. David, Faith and Lord, we ask

that you give clarity to your servant who will preach today

that Christ may be exalted and your people strengthen and make

your true shine upon us, O Lord, that we may discern your ways,

that we walk in obedience, and that we find comfort in your

presence. And we ask all this in the name

of our Lord Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen. OK so firstly Antigua goes

sampan that the clouds of life can be very dark.

So Nikita Nathan poster verse Punito Nishapur Binasa Dinnaton

to right these words. A parable Pagisipan Panama to

amongst adios so dharampur dito yung lahat namanga Tao dito

sambando and Maggie Cristiano. So the first dark cloud is

oppression by others. So sabrosa verse one if you can

read with me again. Again I saw all the oppressions

that are done under the sun, and behold the tears of the

oppressed, and they had no one to comfort them.

On the side of the oppressors there was power, and there was

#1 to comfort them. So last chapter in the

Pinagusapan natin last week nagsalita see Solomon tonkotsu

injustice andito nakita Nathaniel resulta nang

injustice. Now Baba is a workplace or some

nation or kahit Satima homes or magazines.

As a church injustice, it will lead to oppression and

So now witness needs Solomon tears this Ibiza passage, and

behold the tears of the oppressed.

So buckets allow me to Matamis among the Kong 4 or in a

Medium power human oppressors. Pero wala silang non compete

young oppressors done so paulit ulit there was #1 to comfort
