In Week 1 of the Easter series titled, "The Road That Leads Home," Pastor Jimmy Carter speaks on, "You Are What You Love," emphasizing that our identity and direction in life are defined by our deepest affections. Drawing from the biblical account in John 12, Jimmy contrasts the radical, costly generosity of Mary—who anointed Jesus's feet with expensive perfume—with the prideful greed of Judas, illustrating that proximity to religious life does not guarantee a transformed heart. He argues that human desires are naturally "disordered" and deceitful, acting like a broken compass that points toward selfish idols rather than God. Jimmy concludes that Jesus does not just offer forgiveness but seeks to reorder our hearts through the practice of generosity and humility, urging the congregation to ensure their lives are marked by personal sacrifice rather than outward performance.
