Hated Without a Cause (Psalm 35)
About this episode
Pastor Nate Holdridge explores Psalm 35, discussing themes of betrayal, prayer, and hope in the context of being wronged.
Title : Hated Without a Cause Speaker : Nate Holdridge Overview: In this week's teaching at Calvary Church, Pastor Nate Holdridge walks through Psalm 35, David's raw prayer as a man attacked, betrayed, and taunted for no reason at all. We trace the psalm's three laments and their shared pattern of pain, honest request, and rising hope, showing how David's cry for vindication points forward to Jesus, who was "hated without a cause" and yet entrusted himself fully to the Father. Along the way, we address the hard question of imprecatory prayer, the ache of being wronged by those closest to us, and the gospel hope available to anyone carrying pain they didn't deserve.
