Thanos

the merciless mad titan

Welcome

everyone to Redemption Church in Plano Tx. My name is Chris Fluitt

and I have been so excited about our new sermon series for such a

long time. Let’s jump right into scripture.

Exodus 14:13-14 (NIV2011) “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Jesus

Vs

God

will fight for you. Sometimes in our struggle we need a reminder

that God will fight for us… we only need to be still.

To

help us remember that we have a series entitled Jesus Vs.

Jesus

will fight for you, but how does Jesus fight? How could he possibly

fight your worst foes? Well we are going to see Jesus stand toe to

toe against one of the most terrifying villains.

Jesus

Vs Thanos

The

merciful savior Jesus Christ, vs the merciless mad Titan Thanos. How

do you think this fight might go?

You

got a look at Thanos in our intro video. He is a bad guy.

Thanos

He

hails from a moon of Saturn called Titan and is often called the “Mad

Titan.”

Recent

measurements have Thanos to be 8 feet tall and nearly 1000 pounds…

that is half a ton. Beyond being large, he also has super-strength,

speed, and an advanced intelligence.

Infinity

Gauntlet

The

Mad Titan is never satisfied with his abilities. He is obsessed with

gaining all the power in the universe. He seeks to gain all this

power through the infinity gauntlet. It is a metal glove that is

jeweled with 6 infinity stones. By wearing this infinity gauntlet

Thanos then becomes the strongest being within the comic book

universe.

Thanos

is definitely a bad guy, yet he is more complicated than most

villains. He has a specific purpose for the power he seeks.

Thanos

As

revealed in our intro video, Thanos’ home world, Titan, was once

beautiful but fell to ruin because of the people who lived there.

Thanos reveals his plan to “save” the world…

As

Thanos said himself “With all 6 stones I could simply snap my

fingers and they would all cease to exist… I call that mercy.”

How

could Jesus possibly defeat Thanos? Earth’s mightiest heroes, the

Avengers, had a lot of trouble in their fight against Thanos.

Empowered with the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos does indeed snap his

fingers and all who saw the movie, Avengers Infinity War, got a front

row seat to what Thanos calls Mercy.

Jesus

Vs Thanos

How

could Jesus possibly defeat Thanos and the power of his infinity

gauntlet?

At

the heart of this cosmic comic combat is this very theological idea

of mercy.

MERCY

Mercy

is showing compassion toward an offender or enemy, instead of using

power to punish or harm.

Mercy

is showing kindness and love. Mercy is forgiveness & patience.

Jesus

Do you know what Easter is about? Jesus took the sin of the world in the garden, just before being betrayed by Judas Iscariot. He would soon be passed around in mock court trials, and would ultimately be sentenced to death by the Jews, and would be killed by the Romans. Don't stop there, as that is not all that happened. Jesus was laid in the tomb after being taken down from the cross. What happened three days later is what we want to celebrate today!

Happy

Easter! Welcome to Redemption Church. We are coming to you from

Plano Tx and we have good news for you. Jesus Christ is alive.

My

name is Chris Fluitt and I am glad to share this time with you.

We

sometimes take for granted that people understand what

Easter is all about. Today I want to talk to you about the what.

Easter

is about WHAT

Good

reporting is the who, what, when, where, and why. You could spend

immeasurable time studying the journalistic reporting of the final

week of Jesus’ life. All the “who’s” of that final week…

There is great debate over the “when”… When exactly was the

“high Sabbath” and when exactly was Jesus crucified. Archeologist

have tried to search out the “where”… where is the spot known

as Golgotha/Calvary… and “where” is the tomb?

And

then there is the all-important why. I am not sure we have really

exhausted all the “why” of the final week of Jesus’ life. There

is so much depth in this story. I have found that all my study just

leads me to more need for study. Can you relate?

Today

in an interest of time I would like to focus on the “what.”

What

happened?

What

did Jesus do? What did Jesus go through? What did Jesus say?

The

Last Supper

Jesus

spent an evening with his 12 disciples. This is called the last

supper. He shared time with them and even ­­sang a hymn with

them. He knelt before them and washed the feet of every disciple…

even the one named Judas who Jesus knew would betray him.

It

was here at this meal that Jesus shared bread & wine. He told

them the bread was His body and the wine was His blood and that we

should do this same act in remembrance of Him. We refer to this act

as communion and we still partake of his body & blood in

remembrance.

Judas

the betrayer leaves to go do his evil deed. Jesus & his 11

remaining disciples leave the supper table and go a place called the

mount of Olives. Here, Jesus reveals that “this very night” He

will be taken and that all of his disciples will scatter and even

disown him. (Matthew 26:31-35) Peter took issue with this and said

He would never do such a thing… Jesus told Peter that He would deny

Jesus 3 times before the rooster crows.

They

traveled further to a garden called Gethsemane that was at the foot

of the Mount of Olives. Jesus went to pray and told his disciples to

wait and watch with Him.

Matthew 26:38 (NIV2011) Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

Jesus

was aware of WHAT was about to happen. What Jesus felt I don’t

think we could ever fully understand.

Matthew 26:39 (NIV2011) Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father,

Do you know what Palm Sunday is? Have you ever wondered what Hosanna means? Hosanna is a word that has two meanings; one meaning fulfills the other meaning.

Welcome

to Redemption Church! It is a special day in Plano Tx!

I

have a question for you to consider. Can

your Faith save someone?

Palm Sunday

Today - Palm Sunday, is a special day in the church.

It

is the day that Jesus enters triumphantly into the city of Jerusalem.

He enters as a King. He is welcomed as a King.

It was prophesied that Jesus would come as a servant.

There

is also prophecy that He will come as King, and on this day, Palm

Sunday, Jesus was received as a King in Jerusalem.

Everyone

felt on this day that Jesus had come to save… But the way Jesus

would save would be a surprise. Jesus is going to save in an

unexpected way…

They

thought that an earthly king had arrived who would overthrow the

Romans through bloody warfare and would then set up his own

government. But this is not how Jesus saves. Jesus taught us that

if we live by the sword we die by the sword.

Jesus

has come to save, but he would save through a different means - the

cross.

On

this day Christ was received as King.

Large

crowds gathered as he came into the city riding on a colt… a

donkey. The prophet told them in advance of this day…

Zechariah

9:9 (NIV) Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of

Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and having

salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a

donkey.

They

recognized this moment!

This was their King… their salvation.

Why

the donkey? Riding in upon a Donkey symbolized that he was coming in

Peace… Not war, which riding in on a horse would have symbolized.

Jesus Christ has not come to conquer you, but to save you. Not to wage war on you, but to liberate you! How important is this knowledge Redemption?

And

here is why we remember this day as PALM SUNDAY. They cut down palm

branches

and laid down cloaks in front of Jesus. This was an amazing moment.

A time to Rejoice!

Mark 11:8 (NIV)Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields.

Mark 11:9-10 (NIV) Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, "Hosanna!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!" "Hosanna in the highest!"

–

A Hebrew Phrase Yaw-shah

naw

The

word Hosanna holds 2 uses. Both uses can be found in Psalm 118:25-26.

Psalm 118:25-26 (NIV)

O LORD, save us;

26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.

Hosanna means;

* A Rescuer has come.* A cry for rescue.

A RESCUER HAS COME – RESCUE US

Hosanna isn't a sweet lyric to rock yourself to sleep with. IT IS A DESPERATE CRY “SAVE ME NOW” and also a decl...

What

a beautiful day to be alive. Thank you God for this moment! Are you

thankful to be alive today?

Welcome everyone to Redemption Church. We are a mighty Church in Plano Texas. My name is Chris Fluitt and I am so excited! Today we are baptizing people! I am so excited about it! Greetings to everyone in the room and to everyone experiencing God’s Word online.

We

are in the final week of our series – All Things New

All

Things New

We

have been studying the New that Jesus brought us in Acts chapter 2!

We

have talked about hearing & believing the Gospel – the good

news that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again.We

have talked about repentance. That change of mind and a new direction

where we turn from sin and turn toward the savior.

We

have talked about Baptism in Jesus name for the forgiveness of sins.

Going down into that water and coming up a brand new & clean

person ; and having the name of Jesus placed upon you.

And

we have talked about receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. That same

Spirit that created the world in Genesis 1… that same Spirit that

was in Jesus Christ… that same Spirit that raised Jesus from the

dead… that same Spirit can dwell inside of you! It is powerful!

And it is Brand New.

Let’s

read these 2 verses that we have preached from these last weeks.

Turn to Acts 2:37.

Acts 2:37 (NIV2011) When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

The

“THIS” they heard was THE GOSPEL! They believed and they asked

what they needed to do…

Acts 2:38 (NIV2011) Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Do

Not Stop

When

you receive the Gospel, you are receiving something new, but do not

stop!

When you repent, you are receiving something new, but… DO NOT STOP!

When

you are baptized into the wonderful name of Jesus, you are receiving

something new, but do not stop!

When

you are filled with the gift of the Holy Spirit, you are receiving

something new, but do not stop!

Jesus

has more new for you

Acts 2:39 (NIV2011) The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”

The

promise is for you and no one else… no

The

promise is only for your children… no

The

promise is only for those in our circle, our church, our city, our

nation, our skin color… no

The

promise does not stop! It goes on and on!

His

Promise goes beyond what you can see, hear, and think.

1 Corinthians 2:9 (NIV2011) …“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for tho...

Did your Grandma tell you stories about the Holy Spirit as a child? Have you wondered what all that is about? Stick with us as we look into the book of Acts, to see what Jesus has to offer us.

Hello

Redemption Church! Our God makes ALL THINGS NEW! Hello to everyone

online. We are glad you are tuning in! God wants to do new in you.

We are in the 4th week of our

sermon series All Things New.

All

Things New

I

want to remind you that Jesus brings us new in Acts chapter 2. We

have been looking closely at the new powerful things that happened in

Acts the 2nd

chapter.

Acts 2:37 (NIV2011) When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

Peter

answers this question!

Acts 2:38 (NIV2011) Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus

does something new in Acts Chapter 2

In week 1 we talked about hearing and believing the Gospel – the good news! Hearing the gospel is BRAND NEW! In week 2, we told you about the power of repentance.

Repenting of your sin and turning to Jesus is BRAND NEW!

In

week 3, last week, we told you about baptism.

Being

buried in Christ is BRAND NEW! Next Sunday we are having multiple

baptisms! 6 people have declared that they wanted to baptized in the

wonderful name of Jesus! Isn’t that exciting! Thank you Lord!

There

is still more new for you! Tonight we are going to step into the

newness of the Spirit! Let’s look at this important verse again

from Peter in Acts 2 and 38.

Acts

2:38 (NIV2011) Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of

you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.

And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

The

Gospel is UNCOMFORTABLE

You

know I need to be transparent with you. Being a preacher is not

easy. There is a real pressure to try to only say things that are

going to make everyone happy… to not say anything that might make

people feel uncomfortable… and by all means don’t say anything

that someone may disagree with.

It

is a very real pressure and I don’t know a preacher alive who has

not at some point felt it. But Peter, stood up in Acts 2 gave this

uncomfortable message. He looked people in the eye and told them

they were not ok as they were, but that they needed something.

I

can imagine some people in that crowd disagreeing with Peter. I can

even picture some people being mad at the apostle. Yet, I do not

doubt for a moment that what Peter said, although uncomfortable, was

absolutely TRUE! We need to accept this uncomfortable truth – The

Gospel is uncomfortable.

Stepping

into new is often uncomfortable. And as I told you last week, the

deeper you step into new the more voices will appear that will tell

you that “you don’t have to do that.”

God

did a new thing in Acts 2 that alarms people so much that they hardly

touch this chapter, or the rest of the Book of Acts. But I want to

Do you know what Baptism is? Have you been baptized? Maybe you have been baptized, but you still want to learn more about it. Baptism is something new that Jesus has for you in acts chapter 2.

Hello everyone! Welcome to Redemption Church. We are so glad to be with you. My name is Chris Fluitt and I am glad to be sharing God’s word with you today. Thank you to our growing number of Youtube & podcast subscribers. Please help us by liking and leaving a comment. This helps us reach more people with the important message of God’s love.

We are in the 3rd

week of our sermon series All Things New.

All

Things New

We have been looking

closely at the 2nd chapter of the book of Acts. Jesus

brings us new in Acts chapter 2.

In week 1 we talked

about hearing and believing the Gospel – the good news that Jesus

died, was buried, and rose again. Believing this gospel will bring

you to ask a question.

Acts 2:37 (NIV2011) When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

Peter answers this

question!

Acts 2:38 (NIV2011) Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Last week, week 2,

we told you about the power of repentance. In repentance we confess

our sin and we receive a NEW MIND, NEW DIRECTION, NEW FOCUS, &

NEW LORD!

Jesus

has more new for you

I want to

encourage you to keep walking in the new, but I also need to warn

you. The deeper you walk into God’s newness, the more you will

start to hear discouraging voices saying “You don’t have to do

that.”

You will actually

hear fellow Christians tell you that “you don’t have to do that”

or “that’s just optional and not necessary.” This is the case

with our subject of baptism.

Baptism

Baptism has long

been a subject that has brought division within the Church of Jesus

Christ.

How are you to be

baptized?

* Submerged or

sprinkled?

* Baptized into

the titles father, son, and holy ghost, or in the name of Jesus?

* Infant baptism?

Why are you to be

baptized?

* To join a

church membership?

* To declare your

faith outwardly?

* To wash your

sins away?

Is baptism even

necessary?

These are just some

of the questions that the subject of baptism brings up. These

disagreements have caused many people to not walk in the new. So

let’s look to the Word of God.

In Acts 2:37 the believers asked what they needed to do. Peter answered in the next verse.

Acts 2:38 (NIV2011) Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Peter said repent

and what?

Be

Baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus, for the forgiveness

of your sins

Do you believe in the Gospel- the good news that Jesus died and rose again for you? Don't stay there. You must go farther, you must repent.

Hello Plano Tx! Hello to everyone who is watching online, or is in the room with us. We are glad you are taking the time to receive the Word of God. My name is Chris Fluitt and I pray that the word of God will change your life tonight.

We

are in the 2nd

week of the ALL THINGS NEW series.

All

Things New

People

are hard wired to be attracted to new. This is likely because God

our creator is really into New things.

Last week we told you –

Jesus

brings us New in Acts Chapter 2

When I say new, I am NOT saying a refresh, turning over a new leaf, or applying a new coat of paint. I am talking about a COMPLETELY NEW CREATION.

2

Corinthians 5:17 (NIV2011) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new

creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

Jesus

brings us NEW in Acts Chapter 2. We need to walk in the New. Here is

how just like Acts 2 shows us.

You need to hear the message of the Gospel - the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ! The believers in acts chapter heard this same message and they believed it.

Acts

2:37 (NIV2011) When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart

and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we

do?”

Belief

is awesome. We celebrate belief around here. Some people believed

for the first time last Sunday in this altar! How awesome is

that!!!???

Yet..

Jesus

has more NEW for YOU

If

you stop at belief you stop walking in the new Jesus has for you.

Jesus has more new for you, so take a step into the new.

We

are about to read verse 38 where Peter gives an answer to what they

need to do. I want you to notice that the answer to “what do we

need to do next” is not “Then Peter said… oh nothing. Believing

is enough.”

Let’s

take a look.

Acts

2:38 (NIV2011) Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of

you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.

And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Tell

me what was the first NEW thing Peter told them to do?

Repent

– Metanoeo

Repent

means to…

* Think

differently. To Change one’s mind.

* “Turning

with contrition (sorrow for what one did) from sin to God” –

Tyndale

Repentance

is a NEW MIND, NEW DIRECTION, NEW FOCUS, NEW LORD!

Luke

15:7 (NIV2011) I tell you that in the same way there will be more

rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine

righteous persons who do not need to repent.

Acts

3:19 (NIV2011) Repent, then, and turn

to God, so

that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come

from the Lord,

Acts

8:22 (NIV2011) Repent of this wickedness and pr...

We are all excited about new things - Aren't you? Of course you are! We are all wired to appreciate the new. God wants to give us new. Are you looking for new?

Hello, and welcome to redemption church in Plano, Texas. I am pastor Chris Fluitt and I am glad to be here to share the word with you today. Whether you are watching online or in person, thank you very much for being with us today.

We

are in a brand new sermon series we are calling All Things New.

All

Things New

* Don’t

you just love that OLD car smell?

* I

love it when I hear the countdown 3-2-1 Happy Old Year!

* Of

course you have heard that 40 is the OLD 20… 60 is the OLD 40…

Orange is the OLD black…

We

have all heard this right? Of course not.

People are always attracted to new things rather than old things. Remember this the next time you hear someone ask...

* Is

that a new dress?

* I

just bought a new car!

* I’m

starting a new job.

People are hard wired to be attracted to new.

God is also really into new things. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV2011) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

In John 3 Jesus tells us about a new birth…

John 3:3 (NIV2011) Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. ” John 3:4 (NIV2011) “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked…

Nicodemus didn’t understand. Jesus gives a brand new birth that does away with the old.

Revelation 21:4 (NIV2011) ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Revelation 21:5 (NIV2011) He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!”

All

Things New

If

you are into new things, then I have great news for you. God is going

to make all things new.

If

you are looking for something new today, then you need to look to

God.

Jesus

brings us new things

Jesus

brings us new things.

There

are many scriptures in the gospels where people marveled at Jesus.

They say things like…

* We

have never seen anyone do the things He has done.

* We

have never heard anyone speak with such authority and knowledge of

Scripture.

* Those

closest to Him, his disciples often asked “What kind of man is

this? Even the winds & waves obey him.”

In

other words, when people saw Jesus they saw something brand new.

When He spoke they heard something new. When they were near Him they

felt something new.

Jesus

brings us new things! Do you understand how difficult it is to bring

something new that no one has ever experienced before?

The

wise king Solomon says in Ecclesiastes 1:9…

Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NIV2011) What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

Hello

Redemption Church! Hello to everyone watching and listening online.

Greetings from Plano Texas! My name is Chris Fluitt and I am glad to

share God’s Word with you today.

We

are in the 3rd

week of our Greater than series.

Greater

Than

No

one searches for lesser things… We search for greater.

Our world is searching for

greater. And our world has a hierarchy, a system for assigning value.

Here is that Hierarchy.

Sex

Money Power

The

world believes and acts like nothing is greater than sex money and

power.

In

week 1 we told you there was something greater than sex. Love is

greater than sex.

In

week 2 we told you there was something greater than money. Love is

greater than money.

In

week 3 we you there was something greater than power. Love is greater

than power.

Are

you searching for greater?

Our

world has this hierarchy, but there is something greater than what

this world values. Are you searching for greater?

1 John 4:3 (NIV2011) but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

This

is a great verse! It tells us there are 2 kinds of spirits. You can

place all spirits into 2 groups. They are either ANTI-CHRIST or

PRO-CHRIST… They either acknowledge Christ or disavows Christ.

(Christ is the center of the entire spiritual world.)

1 John 4:4 (NIV2011) You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

“Overcome

them?” Who is them? Answer: The anti-Christ spirits.

You

have overcome every anti-Christ spirit, because the one who is you is

GREATER than the one who is the world. Who is this one that is

greater… the one that is in you? IT IS JESUS!

Jesus

is greater. If Jesus is in you, then you have greater within you and

can overcome any evil.

Do

we really believe this? What is a heathen

#1

Who believes Jesus is greater?

#2

Do you believe that He lives inside of you and empowers you?

If

you really believe this it ought to become noticeable in your life.

In

your worship, prayer, devotion…

In

your countenance, the look on your faith, the pep in your step…

In

your courage & faith…

It

should be noticeable to everyone that greater is within you! Jesus is

in you!

God

promises that if you will walk with Him… if you will be of the

spirit that acknowledges him… then greater things will be present

in your life.

Deuteronomy 11:22-24 (NIV2011) If you carefully observe all these commands I am giving you to follow—to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him and to hold fast to him— then the Lord will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you. Every place where you set your foot will be yours:

We

are in the 3rd

week of our Greater than series.

Greater

Than

No

one searches for lesser things… We search for greater.

Our

world is searching for greater. And our world has a hierarchy, a

system for assigning value. Here is that Hierarchy.

Sex

Money Power

The

world believes and acts like nothing is greater than sex money and

power.

In

week 1 we told you there was something greater than sex. Love is

greater than sex.

In

week 2 our care pastor Marshal Blessing told you there was something

greater than money. Love is greater than money.

Today

I want to tell you there is something greater than power.

Power

Our

world is after power.

We

are hearing everyday about the growing field of people who will be

running for president. We are getting close to 20 people who will be

giving a lot of time, effort, and money to gain the power of the

presidency.

On

your job there are often people jockeying for position to receive the

next promotion. That promotion means power.

People

will almost do anything to gain power. We know all too well that

people will lie, steal, cheat, and sell themselves to gain power.

…and is the power ever enough? No the hierarchy says that we need

more.

This

hierarchy is programmed into us from a young age. See if you

recognize these power slogans directed at children.

“I

have the power”

Heman

“By

your powers combined”

Captain

Planet

“Heroes

in a half shell, Turtle power”

Teenage

Mutant Ninja Turtles

“It’s

morphin’ time” as they would summon their power.

Power

rangers

“You

underestimate the power of the dark side.”

Darth

Vader – Star Wars

We

are programmed from a young age to love power. There are so many more

examples…

Super

Mario would need a power up. Pac-Man would eat power pellets. Popeye

would eat spinach to gain his power. Every kid wanted to buy a power

glove – “now you’re playing with power.”

The

love of power

Humanity

is in love with power. Let’s talk about the love of power.

Place

a person by the side of the road with a sign saying they are

desperate for help… very few people will be attracted to that

scenario.

Now

place popular singer, Ariana Grande, on the same road and watch

people stop whatever they are doing to attempt to have a selfie with

the pop star.

Why
