WEBVTT 00:00:00.059 --> 00:00:01.326 I'm glad that you are all here. 00:00:01.326 --> 00:00:07.666 So we've been walking through this Les Mis series and just to remind ourselves a little bit. 00:00:07.666 --> 00:00:22.733 We started with Jean Valjean, the character that modeled grace for us, not only learning to offer grace, but learning to accept grace and to let it affect the way he acts and the way he lives. 00:00:22.733 --> 00:00:29.109 Then we moved to Javert, the law, the authority who leaned into justice. 00:00:29.109 --> 00:00:40.267 It became kind of a contrast to grace and we saw the difficulty in trying to lead a life of pure justice in an imperfect world. 00:00:40.267 --> 00:01:02.470 We learned about Fantine, who was a character that represented the people who can fall through the cracks of our society, those who can fall into those places where they aren't cared for in our systems, where they are left to figure it out for themselves and often do not. 00:01:02.470 --> 00:01:07.256 But today, this chapter is the bright spot in the middle of Lent. 00:01:07.256 --> 00:01:25.635 We are talking about God's gift of love, romantic love, agape love, godly love, and it is modeled in this relationship, this romantic relationship between Cosette and Marius. 00:01:25.635 --> 00:01:30.167 So are you rooting for him? 00:01:30.167 --> 00:01:32.393 Right? 00:01:32.393 --> 00:01:35.469 We have to root for him a little bit in this thing for sure. 00:01:35.469 --> 00:01:37.325 Well, remember Cosette. 00:01:37.325 --> 00:01:39.271 Her life starts out pretty rough. 00:01:39.271 --> 00:01:46.581 She's the daughter of Fantine, remember the one single mother who tried to make it and just didn't quite make it. 00:01:46.581 --> 00:02:05.311 She was left with this innkeeper and his wife who turned out to be pretty non-reputable, and after an understatement, I guess right, and she ends up with this couple. 00:02:05.311 --> 00:02:15.532 But Fantine, when ultimately she dies, valjean is able to connect with her and to understand that he actually played a part in Fantine's dying. 00:02:15.532 --> 00:02:19.388 Here's about Cosette, this young daughter that she was trying to get back with. 00:02:19.388 --> 00:02:28.633 So Valjean commits to finding Cosette right and takes her with him and begins to raise her as his own. 00:02:28.633 --> 00:02:34.173 But in all of that turmoil he ends up having to escape to hide again. 00:02:34.173 --> 00:02:41.050 If you'll remember, Valjean is actually still a criminal and so the justice, javert, is always hunting. 00:02:41.050 --> 00:02:47.750 And so in all this turmoil of getting Cosette, well, he starts getting exposed again. 00:02:47.750 --> 00:02:48.770 So they have to go hide. 00:02:48.770 --> 00:02:50.473 They hide in this monastery. 00:02:50.473 --> 00:03:02.768 Well, cassette starts to grow a little bit and starts to feel pretty hemmed in, maybe even prison-like circumstance, living in this monastery, hiding. 00:03:02.768 --> 00:03:36.478 And slowly Valjean lets her kind of get out into the world and she connects with this young man named Marius and the romance, the chemistry, is there right from the beginning and as that romance begins Valjean gets worried again, possibly a self-serving anxiety, in the sense that he had finally learned to love somebody else, a daughter, cassette, and now he might lose her to this Marius into marriage. 00:03:36.478 --> 00:03:39.889 So he takes her away again. 00:03:39.889 --> 00:03:48.028 So now I'm going to switch to Marius, just to get you all caught up, because not everybody has read the story or is reading through the book with the rest of us. 00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:57.133 But Marius, born into aristocracy, so often humanity tends to lean towards haves and have-nots. 00:03:57.133 --> 00:03:59.907 Well, the aristocracy would be haves. 00:03:59.907 --> 00:04:05.852 But he starts to wrestle with this idea of how that works. 00:04:05.852 --> 00:04:28.264 He starts getting sympathy for those who are leading toward revolution, those in the rebelling stage of all of this, and so in the midst of this, he falls for Cosette, although they are mostly in hiding, so they kind of have to be tricky about how they find each other. 00:04:28.264 --> 00:04:33.053 But when Valjean realizes that this is happening, he gets spooked. 00:04:33.053 --> 00:04:34.942 He takes her away again. 00:04:35.283 --> 00:04:45.509 Marius, very upset that this young lady that he loved now doesn't know what to do with his emotions, what to do with his grief. 00:04:45.509 --> 00:04:48.730 He jumps into the rebellion with both feet. 00:04:48.730 --> 00:05:03.404 Now he's really ready to fight and he's there, he's at the barricade, and you might appreciate, pastor Matt's, if you're reading the book with us, his description of this barricade, because it's kind of interesting. 00:05:03.404 --> 00:05:06.665 Everybody's there for kind of weird purposes. 00:05:06.665 --> 00:05:11.406 You think they're there for this rebellion, but everybody else has this other thing too. 00:05:11.406 --> 00:05:13.901 Valjean's checking out Marius. 00:05:13.901 --> 00:05:16.142 He wants to know if Cosette really ought to love him. 00:05:16.142 --> 00:05:22.767 Javert is in disguise trying to undermine the rebellion but also find Valjean. 00:05:22.767 --> 00:05:31.666 Marius is kind of in there, he's fighting but really he's just upset that he's lost Cosette. 00:05:31.666 --> 00:05:42.086 Everybody's kind of in these mixed emotions, this mixed stage of we're rebelling kinda, until Gavroche, the young kid. 00:05:42.086 --> 00:05:53.009 He gets killed as the battle begins on either side of the barricade and everybody straightens up and says wait a minute. 00:05:53.009 --> 00:05:54.596 The innocent kid gets killed. 00:05:54.596 --> 00:05:56.298 I remember why we're here. 00:05:56.619 --> 00:06:13.245 Battle ensues, marius gets injured in this battle, seriously injured, and Valjean rescues Marius, rescues him most likely because of Cosette, whom he loves as a daughter. 00:06:13.245 --> 00:06:18.920 He rescues Marius, brings Marius back to where he can heal and be made well. 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:23.026 But it's worthwhile noting that Marius doesn't know. 00:06:23.026 --> 00:06:24.589 It's Valjean that saves him. 00:06:24.589 --> 00:06:26.701 So they start their life together. 00:06:26.701 --> 00:06:29.944 Valjean is a patriarch of sorts. 00:06:29.944 --> 00:06:45.262 Marius and Cosette are now romantic and then Valjean, again feeling guilt, not being able to deal with grace given to him, confesses to Marius about all the bad things that he has done, but none of the good things. 00:06:45.262 --> 00:06:51.326 And so Marius starts to pull cassette away from this bad guy, valjean. 00:06:51.326 --> 00:07:01.704 And it's not until the very end that Marius learns that it was Valjean who actually saved him. 00:07:01.704 --> 00:07:20.848 And they get this climactic scene in which they're able to come to Valjean and acknowledge this super selfless act that he had learned in his full story arc to be a selfless man of grace that not only received it well but shared it well. 00:07:20.848 --> 00:07:24.076 And there's your light and your shining hope. 00:07:24.076 --> 00:07:25.098 Isn't that fun. 00:07:25.098 --> 00:07:31.809 All right, what are we 10 minutes in? 00:07:31.809 --> 00:07:41.019 And all I did was tell you what happened in the story, all right, well, now I can preach a sermon, because we're all caught up a little bit. 00:07:41.019 --> 00:07:43.081 Hopefully you're understanding. 00:07:43.721 --> 00:07:55.050 The theme for today is love itself, and in Les Mis, in this version, we're seeing all the different variations of how love is often played out. 00:07:55.050 --> 00:08:03.317 We have romantic love, obviously, with Marius and Cosette, but there's familial love too. 00:08:03.317 --> 00:08:12.884 Probably Fantine is the best, loving her daughter, so much she says I got to figure out how to make this work and does everything she can to try to make sure Cosette gets taken care of. 00:08:12.884 --> 00:08:25.404 And then I would say agape love, godly love, may be best represented by Valjean in rescuing Marius, even though he kind of wanted Cosette for himself. 00:08:25.404 --> 00:08:37.745 So you see, all these different love representations, and the interesting thing to me is how those representations, those understandings, start to overlap. 00:08:37.745 --> 00:08:40.601 How are they the same? 00:08:40.601 --> 00:08:51.249 We think of romantic love and godly love as being so distinct, and yet are there things that are similar, are there things that they share? 00:08:51.249 --> 00:08:59.702 And so we're going to do that with 1 Corinthians, 13, 1 through 13. 00:09:00.644 --> 00:09:02.885 And many of you had this with your wedding. 00:09:02.885 --> 00:09:08.255 Seriously, yeah, okay, there we go, all right. 00:09:08.255 --> 00:09:11.427 A couple of you are honest, the rest of you? 00:09:11.427 --> 00:09:14.657 What would you have read up there, besides the love passage? 00:09:14.657 --> 00:09:19.509 For gosh sakes, my goodness, love is patient, love is kind. 00:09:19.509 --> 00:09:23.422 It just takes me right to weddings when I hear this passage. 00:09:23.422 --> 00:09:25.162 I really do appreciate it. 00:09:25.162 --> 00:09:31.123 So this is Paul, all right, I can't think of anything funny to say. 00:09:31.123 --> 00:09:37.681 I'm usually good with something about sirens, and no, it's not there. 00:09:37.681 --> 00:09:41.519 Anyone Say a prayer, someone's having a bad day. 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:42.442 There we go, all right. 00:09:44.134 --> 00:09:45.259 Today's not the day of prayer. 00:09:45.259 --> 00:09:46.022 Is it the day of prayer? 00:09:46.604 --> 00:09:46.783 May. 00:09:46.783 --> 00:09:47.908 Every time I hear a siren. 00:09:47.908 --> 00:09:51.043 Oh well, there you go, you're right. 00:09:51.043 --> 00:09:56.397 Maybe that's our invitation when you hear a siren, to say a little prayer because somebody's in danger. 00:09:56.397 --> 00:10:02.802 All right, with the siren having moved on jumping back into 1 Corinthians 13. 00:10:02.802 --> 00:10:07.245 They call it the love passage because he's defining love. 00:10:07.765 --> 00:10:20.662 This is Paul who wrote the letters that are most of our New Testament, writing to the church in Corinth, who have turned out to be kind of a feisty bunch. 00:10:20.662 --> 00:10:23.235 You know, it's good for us to remember this is early, early church. 00:10:23.235 --> 00:10:28.326 They're just figuring out how to be church at this point. 00:10:28.326 --> 00:10:36.538 It's this new understanding of coming together, this new way of worshiping, this new direction to God and this group in Corinth. 00:10:36.538 --> 00:10:47.677 They'd become kind of feisty and Paul wanted to help them remember what was really important In all of this. 00:10:47.839 --> 00:10:56.187 As we lead church, we can do good things, but if you're not doing it with love, you might not be doing it right. 00:10:56.187 --> 00:11:01.875 It's interesting too, pastor Matt, who wrote the book we're working through. 00:11:01.875 --> 00:11:07.601 He talks about Paul sort of feeling his way around it, just throwing things out there. 00:11:07.601 --> 00:11:14.267 But I have sympathy for Paul, because have you ever tried to define love in words? 00:11:14.267 --> 00:11:29.548 I mean, sometimes we have a hard time even deciding if what we're feeling is love right, when you're getting down to that stage of well, do I want to spend 80 years with him or not? 00:11:29.548 --> 00:11:31.131 Right? 00:11:31.131 --> 00:11:34.577 We've all had that question that we're wrestling with. 00:11:34.577 --> 00:11:47.183 And if you're talking about godly love the wrestling with understanding godly love and how to accept it but also how to share it in the best ways I mean we wrestle with that. 00:11:47.183 --> 00:11:49.135 We're trying to figure out how to do it best. 00:11:49.135 --> 00:12:03.509 It's not always easy knowing how to live something like that out, and for me, I count that as job security, because as long as we wrestle with that, I got something to say for 20 minutes on Sunday mornings. 00:12:03.509 --> 00:12:09.427 We wrestle with love and understanding exactly what it is. 00:12:09.427 --> 00:12:27.038 So I have sympathy for Paul as he wrestles with it, but he does have this one tight principle this one he's holding on to really, really tightly principle this one he's holding on to really, really tightly and I would say it has something to do with. 00:12:27.038 --> 00:12:29.143 Love is not just a head thing. 00:12:29.143 --> 00:12:32.769 It's not all about what's going on in your brain. 00:12:33.115 --> 00:12:35.120 Listen to the first part of this passage again. 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:42.418 If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels. 00:12:42.418 --> 00:12:48.787 A good thing, yes, if you're speaking the words that angels are bringing to this world and sharing. 00:12:48.787 --> 00:12:55.519 We assume angels are connected to God, sharing words that are important to us from God. 00:12:55.519 --> 00:13:00.143 If we are able to speak in those tongues, we're feeling pretty good about ourselves. 00:13:00.143 --> 00:13:10.842 Right, if I can speak like angels and say the things angels want, said, we're feeling good and yet listen to what Paul does here. 00:13:10.842 --> 00:13:19.145 If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 00:13:22.636 --> 00:13:25.505 You see the counter position there. 00:13:25.505 --> 00:13:28.803 Do you feel the car just stopping really fast? 00:13:28.803 --> 00:13:36.208 If you find yourself doing amazing things but don't have love, then you're doing nothing. 00:13:36.208 --> 00:13:40.964 I hope you're feeling that contrast. 00:13:40.964 --> 00:13:47.216 He continues on. 00:13:47.256 --> 00:13:57.240 And if I have prophetic powers, prophetic powers, you're able to again to speak for God, maybe even to look into the future and speak into that future in the way God would have you speak. 00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.121 You have prophetic powers. 00:13:59.121 --> 00:14:04.869 You understand all mysteries and all knowledge. 00:14:04.869 --> 00:14:08.744 Right, he's laying it up thick and high. 00:14:08.744 --> 00:14:26.721 If you have prophetic powers, you understand all mysteries, all knowledge, and if you have faith so as to remove mountains I'm going to call that strong faith, we're moving mountains, removing mountains. 00:14:26.721 --> 00:14:31.803 Strong faith you can have all of this but do not have love. 00:14:31.803 --> 00:14:34.000 You are nothing. 00:14:36.616 --> 00:14:37.863 Do you feel that contrast? 00:14:37.863 --> 00:14:41.082 I mean Paul's laying it thick here. 00:14:41.082 --> 00:14:49.647 He's going right at us saying you could have the absolute best, but if you don't have love, you're just playing around. 00:14:49.647 --> 00:15:08.451 If I give away all my possessions and if I hand over my body so that I may boast Now remember this would be a Christian virtue, especially 2,000 years ago Very selfless, I'm handing everything over, I'm giving it to people who need it. 00:15:08.451 --> 00:15:12.017 I'm not owning anything, overly relying on anything. 00:15:12.017 --> 00:15:14.759 It's very, very selfless. 00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:19.124 I give away all my possessions. 00:15:19.124 --> 00:15:38.365 This massive contrast that he's trying to get us to understand you could have everything that we in our brains and in our lives see as amazing, but without love it's nothing. 00:15:38.365 --> 00:15:44.225 This is what I feel him holding on to here. 00:15:44.225 --> 00:15:57.206 He's trying to tell us at least in my reading, that there's something here that is deeper than our wisdom can reveal, deeper than our brains, our simple minds can take in. 00:15:57.206 --> 00:16:16.475 We can find the logic in a certain concept or philosophy, in love, but if that's all we found, we've missed what I would call the spiritual reality of that concept of that philosophy. 00:16:16.475 --> 00:16:23.028 We've got it wrapped up in our brain and organized in our brain but we're not feeling it. 00:16:23.028 --> 00:16:29.966 Well then, we're going to stick to it, only as long as it continues to make sense. 00:16:29.966 --> 00:16:32.864 Not because it touched our hearts. 00:16:35.696 --> 00:16:46.226 The church in Corinth it kind of gets characterized, as you read through the letter, as this church that feels like it has it all figured out. 00:16:46.226 --> 00:16:52.605 They've got it all organized At least they believe they've got it figured out. 00:16:52.605 --> 00:16:54.318 And Paul wants them to know. 00:16:54.318 --> 00:16:57.326 I'm not sure you figured it out. 00:16:57.326 --> 00:17:00.464 You might have nothing. 00:17:00.464 --> 00:17:07.457 You figured it out, you might have nothing. 00:17:07.457 --> 00:17:09.520 Dr Crouch, in workingpreachercom he points out this description. 00:17:09.520 --> 00:17:12.286 He says the church's factions seem to exude this attitude. 00:17:12.286 --> 00:17:27.038 We are right Pillars of the church, beacons of truth, giants of faith, and we tower above you people who are not one of us. 00:17:27.038 --> 00:17:30.151 Do you hear that? 00:17:30.151 --> 00:17:40.449 How he's describing, how we see Paul describing this church in Corinth, why he feels he needs to write this passage to this church? 00:17:43.791 --> 00:17:56.001 I think that we might possibly have even had engagements with churches like that Kind of feel like they've got it rigged. 00:17:56.001 --> 00:18:03.884 There's a certain overconfidence. 00:18:03.884 --> 00:18:15.761 I wouldn't be surprised if people in this room had actually been part of a church like that, that super confidence. 00:18:15.761 --> 00:18:16.484 We've got it figured out. 00:18:16.484 --> 00:18:19.085 Certainly not here at United Methodist Church of Westlake Village. 00:18:19.085 --> 00:18:21.593 We have proper humility here. 00:18:21.593 --> 00:18:56.416 But you know that church the type of church it might be greatly proud of its mission program but rarely engaging with anyone that they're serving this kind of church might feel good about itself, so good about itself that it doesn't really reach out or share the witness that they've come to understand, the love that they've come to understand about God, just pleased with who they are. 00:18:56.416 --> 00:19:01.471 It might be that kind of church. 00:19:01.612 --> 00:19:38.955 And the message I think to that kind of church, and when we become that kind of people, is that this passage may be better characterized not as the love passage but the humility passage, the passage that wants us to remember how important it is that we understand not just the logic of it but have some deeper sense of the love that lay underneath it, that we have it so strong that even when we start wrestling with it, we still trust that it lay within our hearts. 00:19:38.955 --> 00:19:45.996 Because this love that we're talking about, this love that Paul's talking about, it's only the beginning. 00:19:45.996 --> 00:19:53.304 It gets tougher. 00:19:53.304 --> 00:20:03.550 Paul also tells us w ell, many people tell us in our scripture, and if we're going to look at a full context of scripture. 00:20:03.550 --> 00:20:07.954 Loo k at all the ways we're supposed to be loving. 00:20:07.954 --> 00:20:10.497 We're supposed to love our enemies. 00:20:10.497 --> 00:20:11.738 Cardinal fans, Pirate fans, Detroit fans. 00:20:11.738 --> 00:20:13.880 We got to love them all. 00:20:15.761 --> 00:20:27.940 It's not easy, but listen in scripture it says this in Matthew, in Luke, 1 Peter, in the Hebrew Bible, old Testament, Exodus, Proverbs. 00:20:27.940 --> 00:20:33.976 Paul's talking about it in Romans, etc. 00:20:33.976 --> 00:20:34.256 Etc. 00:20:34.256 --> 00:20:37.851 You know what else? 00:20:37.851 --> 00:20:44.577 We're supposed to love the stranger, love the alien in our midst. 00:20:44.577 --> 00:20:49.434 If you look through Scripture, it's in Leviticus, the Old Testament. 00:20:49.434 --> 00:20:59.717 It's in Deuteronomy, it's in the letter to the Hebrews, letter to the Romans, it's in the gospel of Matthew, et cetera, et cetera. 00:21:01.625 --> 00:21:09.930 That love that Paul is calling us to, it's big, it's tough. 00:21:09.930 --> 00:21:22.536 It's the center of so much of what we're supposed to be understanding, or at least trying to understand, about how to live here, how to live well, how to live abundantly. 00:21:22.536 --> 00:21:33.417 I think this humility might be the uniting principle that is undergirding all of our understandings of love. 00:21:33.417 --> 00:21:41.997 We've been talking about Agape love and its being essential to godly activity. 00:21:41.997 --> 00:21:52.511 We have to have love for God and love for others in order to truly be experiencing what God wants us to experience in that love, in that sharing. 00:21:52.511 --> 00:21:59.667 If we want to know God in our good acts, love needs to be at the center of that. 00:21:59.667 --> 00:22:01.509 We talk about familial love. 00:22:01.509 --> 00:22:25.290 If we don't embrace humility in our relationships, we're likely only to love others for what we can make them, not who they are, which really isn't that just a celebration of ourselves and not God, not the other person? 00:22:27.272 --> 00:22:28.994 And what about romantic love? 00:22:28.994 --> 00:22:30.797 Marius and Cosette? 00:22:30.797 --> 00:22:34.941 What advice would we give them about a successful marriage? 00:22:34.941 --> 00:22:43.670 What part would humility play in that advice? 00:22:43.670 --> 00:22:57.743 I know Brenda and I were sneaking up on 32 years of marriage, but I think we're probably babies in this room with that. 00:22:57.743 --> 00:23:02.914 Anybody up to 35 years of marriage yeah Right. 00:23:03.924 --> 00:23:04.027 40? 00:23:04.027 --> 00:23:06.827 Yeah, all right. 00:23:06.827 --> 00:23:09.977 How many are right in that 40 range? 00:23:09.977 --> 00:23:14.230

don't know that you get very far. 00:23:35.853 --> 00:23:37.871 45 years anybody in that range? 00:23:37.871 --> 00:23:42.690 45 years, right, I'll get there. 00:23:42.690 --> 00:23:45.769 I'll get

00:23:59.895 Have we learned that Ken already was humble, so he didn't have to learn it? 00:23:59.895 --> 00:24:00.397 He's Canadian. 00:24:00.397 --> 00:24:04.085 Those guys, they were humble from the beginning. 00:24:04.085 --> 00:24:05.808 Got the Canadian roots All right. 00:24:06.009 --> 00:24:06.369 50? 00:24:06.369 --> 00:24:08.957 , 55? 00:24:08.957 --> 00:24:12.852 Oh, man, we're still

All right, what's the secret? 00:24:26.554 --> 00:24:31.391 You have it figured out? 00:24:26.554 --> 00:24:39.573 Well, I know Phil's not going to tell me because he's an engineer, but Jeanie, I think Jeanie will tell me what's the secret. 00:24:39.573 --> 00:24:42.013 Is humility involved there? 00:24:42.013 --> 00:24:45.230 Would you tell Marius and Cosette how important that was? 00:24:45.230 --> 00:24:49.403 Yes, what other words would you use? 00:24:49.403 --> 00:24:58.346 It's a little too much honesty right here for a Sunday morning. 00:24:58.346 --> 00:25:04.826 Keep on loving each other, amen, amen, amen. 00:25:05.709 --> 00:25:17.845 Well, my friends, I feel like what we're trying to learn from Les Mis, what we're trying to learn from our scripture, from Paul, is just the importance of recognizing that there is something larger than any of us. 00:25:17.845 --> 00:25:31.242 God has offered and put amongst us the truth of love, and it's going to be something we're only getting tastes of, but they'll be blessed tastes. 00:25:31.242 --> 00:25:41.588 Let's keep ourselves humbled so that we can always be accessing that love in the ways that God wants us to know that love. 00:25:41.588 --> 00:25:51.183 Let's not get overconfident about thinking we have it figured out, but remember God is always leading us, god is always guiding us, god is always guiding us. 00:25:51.183 --> 00:26:16.267 We're going to share our musical offering today, a Heart Full of Love, and I invite you in this time to be reflecting on the significance of love in your own life, both Agape love, but maybe in particular, the romantic love that Marius and Cosette share in this song 00:26:22.614 --> 00:26:39.509 A heart full of love, a heart full of song. 00:26:40.088 -->

day, for it isn't a dream, not a dream after all.
