Special Day Session with Graham Furtick | Future Camp 2026 Message

Main message: Praise is a mature, costly response to who God is and what He has done; true worship looks like the undignified, sacrificial love of the sinful woman in Luke 7 and is determined by how deeply we understand our forgiveness. The sermon called listeners to stop being passive or judgmental and to actively praise (lift hands, shout, celebrate) with eyes fixed on Jesus.

Key points:

• Praise defined: admiration for who God is, what He's done, and what He will do.
• Three responses in the Savior’s presence (from Luke 7): praisers (the sinful woman who gets undignified and pours out costly worship), pointers (the Pharisee who judges), and pocket people (guests who remain passive).
• True praise costs something (the woman poured out her most valuable perfume) and often looks foolish to others; it flows from recognizing how much one has been forgiven.
• The level of our praise is tied to our perception of our sin and salvation—those forgiven much love much.
• Practical “how” to praise: biblical Hebrew concepts introduced (e.g., yadah—lifted hands; shabach—shout; halal—celebrate/dance) and an invitation to participate visibly and sacrificially.

Scriptures mentioned: Luke 7:36-50, Psalm 113, Isaiah
