Our hope is the “bringing dead things to life” kind of new. So we begin our series, Resurrecting Hope: Lenten Living in a Wounded World, by “walking among the dead” and naming false hopes. Please join us as we hear from Nehemiah who is walking among the ruins of the great city of Jerusalem. ## Related Content [Sermons](https://www.cccolathe.org/blog/tag/sermons) [![Image of Pastor Scott](https://www.cccolathe.org/hubfs/FC5ABDDB-DC43-47E5-AA64-4B2D97C323D9_1_201_a.jpeg)](https://www.cccolathe.org/blog/author/scott) ##### [Pastor Scott](https://www.cccolathe.org/blog/author/scott) #### [Be Rich: Genersoity](https://www.cccolathe.org/blog/be-rich-genersoity) In first Timothy 6, we are challenged to “be rich”, not just with superficial wealth, but in our...
