Today we started a brand new series entitled, “Upset The World” with our Oversight Pastor Tim Ross! Aside from being the oversight pastor of Transformation Church, he is the lead pastor of the multi-ethnic, multi-generational Embassy City Church in Irving, TX. His dynamic teaching style and uncanny ability to make people understand the gospel message is the reason why he has been such an asset to ministries across cultural and denominational lines. Pastor Tim is happily married to Juliette, and they have two sons.

this weekend y’all ready
get your bibles i want you to go to the
book of acts chapter number 17 the book
of acts
chapter number 17. i want to read the
first
nine verses then we’ll pray and see what
the lord would say to us all right acts
chapter
17 verses one through nine here’s what
it says
paul and silas then traveled through the
towns of amphipolis
and apollonia and came to thessalonica
where there was a jewish synagogue as
was paul’s custom
he went to the synagogue service and for
three sabbats in a row he used the
scriptures
to reason with the people he explained
the prophecies
and prove that the messiah must suffer
and rise from the dead he said
this jesus i’m telling you about is the
messiah
some of the jews who listened were
persuaded and joined paul and silas
along with many god-fearing greek men
and quite a few prominent women
but some of the jews were jealous
so they gathered some troublemakers from
the marketplace to form a mob
and start a riot they attacked the home
of jason
searching for paul and silas so they
could drag them out to the crowd
not finding them there they dragged out
jason and some of the other believers
instead
and took them before the council paul
and silas have caused trouble
all over the world they shouted which is
why i just shouted
and now they are here disturbing our
city too
and jason has welcomed them into his
home they are all guilty of treason
against caesar for they
profess allegiance to another king named
jesus the people of the city as well as
the city council were thrown into
turmoil by these reports
so the officials forced jason and the
other believers to post bond
and then they release them i want to go
back to verse number six and i just want
to read this
outlandish statement that they make paul
and silas have caused trouble all over
the world
they shouted and now they are here
disturbing our
city too
if you want to know the title of the
sermon spoiler alert
let’s upset the world
and i believe that god wants to upset
your world
in a way that you live your life for
christ
in a way that you’ve never lived it
before
and i’m telling you it starts for you
this
weekend bow your heads let’s pray shelby
holy spirit upset us
amen stand in my prayers
i pray quick i want you to think about
uh uh
the the the chapter that i just read
that paul and silas
are on these missionary journeys they
are going from city to city
and they are going from synagogue to
synagogue as jewish men
proclaiming that jesus christ is the
messiah that this
jewish rabbi is actually the prophesied
messiah
that has been declared for the last 4
000
years i just want you to think about
that for a moment that
that god’s first prophecy about christ
was genesis 3 15 when he said the seed
of the woman shall bruise the head of
the serpent
and he shall bruise his heel
four thousand years between the time of
that prophecy given
uh to mary through eve hear me
a prophecy came to mary through
eve eve representing uh the first woman
in
creation god was literally speaking to
her but through her
down many generations to a person that
wasn’t even
put on the earth yet could it be that
there’s some prophetic words
that you’re about to step into in your
life that were given to your great great
great
great grandmother and she might have
thought it was never fulfilled but had
no idea
that when god was speaking to her he was
speaking through her to you
it’s upsetting to even think about that
that this promised messiah would die for
our sins
and give us a mandate according to
matthew chapter number 28 that
we are to go make disciples of
all nations translation go upset the
world
now now when i make this statement some
of y’all might be saying
um we’re already upset culture has us
upset corona has us upset
everything got us upset well i don’t
mean
angry frustration madness
let’s come back to the proper definition
of the word shall we
so by definition uh the word upset means
to overturn
to destroy the power of to overthrow to
defeat to vanquish
i want you to think about that when you
talk about an upset it means simply
to turn over
if you have ever seen something that’s
been by definition
upset it simply means it’s been turned
over i i want to ask you a question
has your life been turned over
have you actually turned your life over
not just to the savior
but to lord i’m gonna take my time right
here
because we all love to sing the songs
about his saving grace
we all love to sing the songs about his
reckless love
and that there’s he’ll go over every
mountain and he’ll run through every sea
and he will come to me
but are you ready to take that l
feel me are you ready to take that l
not that loss that lord
are you ready to take jesus on
as lord and voluntarily through
submission
let him turn your life up side
down let me give you another definition
for the word upset it means to disturb
or
completely to disturb or derange
completely put
out of order throw into disorder
upset a system to upset a mechanism to
upset
an apartment a place a person a thing
i love this one to defeat or overthrow
an opponent
that is considered more formidable as in
war
politics or sports you you’ve seen
upsets
in basketball you’ve seen upsets in
football the team that wasn’t supposed
to win
won something got turned over
i i i believe that where you have been
losing
you are about to start winning
because you’re going to allow jesus to
turn your life
upside down so when i say upset the
world
that can sound daunting all right tim i
i
hear you i feel you but the world is big
i mean i don’t even have a passport
i’ve never been out of my city i mean
you know we went you know i’m close to a
state line so i’ve been to another state
but i’ve never
traveled anywhere anywhere so when you
say upset the world what do you actually
mean well here’s what i’m telling you
you can upset the world around you
god has put all of us in spaces and
places where we can
upset the world that is literally around
us
so whether it’s your mom and him or your
cousin’s name or
your friends down the street or the
people at your job or the people at your
school
each and every single one of us has an
opportunity
to upset somebody’s world
[Music]
now you know that i shoot three-pointers
if i was going to be on a spiritual
basketball team it would be the golden
state warriors because i shoot threes
okay i’m steph curry with mine i shoot
threes
okay so i got three points to this
message that i want you to write down
and please take notes because nerves
rule the entire world when you take good
notes you get good quotes
you get to go outside and spit those
notes
so i want to give you three points and i
want you to put this as the header on it
okay
in order to upset the world
in order to upset the world there’s got
to be three things that you do
there’s got to be three things that
you’re a part of there’s got to be three
things that you’re thinking about
so write this down in order to upset the
world
point number one you must be upset first
you are never going to upset anybody
else’s life
if your life has not been upset
first now now i’m passionate about this
particular point
because i gave my life to jesus christ
january 14th of 1996.
i was 20 years old i was sitting in the
back of the church
and that is the day that my life
literally got turned
upside down i had some regional fame and
success
in california because uh i was a battle
rapper and i had made a name for myself
i was doing shows all over uh l.a and i
i i had a little clout
i had a little had a little little juice
and i went to the club that night
partied to the morning got home about
five o’clock in the morning
took a little nap woke up around 7 30
and i was going with my parents to
church
not because i love jesus because i love
my parents and i was living in a house
and i was 20 years old
and i just felt it was a smart thing to
do since i was under the roof that i
probably should go to church with them
to just let them know i’m you listen i i
you know i don’t believe in your god but
i believe in you
and since you’re kind enough to let me
stay in your house i think that uh
it’d be nice if i just showed up to your
church so i showed up to church
uh went through sunday school with
sister beverly walker
then after it was over we had a little
break about 15 minutes
church started i’m sitting in the back
of the church and i’m
there to do what i do every single
weekend at church up until that time
i was gonna write raps then i was gonna
laugh at the people that spoke in
tongues
then i was gonna wait for church to be
over then my homies were gonna come pick
me up
then we were gonna go to venice beach
and we were going to chill on venice
beach to about five or six then we were
gonna go to eminem’s
eat some nice food all my people from
cali you feeling me right now
we was gonna go to the islands where we
was gonna go to duelins we’re gonna go
to roscoe’s
and then from about 7 30 8 o’clock to
about two in the morning we was going
cruise crenshaw boulevard
and i was going to get with any girl
that wanted to get with me
that was sundays for me wash rinse
repeat
go to church with my parents but then go
do
me until january 14th of 1996
i’m sitting in the back of this church
and i got my entire
world turned up side
down i want you to think about this um
i’m chilling minding my own business in
the back of the church
and uh the holy spirit says to me while
i’m trying to write raps
and people are trying to worship you’re
a sinner
so literally what he said you’re a
sinner
and it wasn’t this like condemning
statement
it was literally a revealing statement
see see a lot of times you think that if
that if somebody points out
a a a a part of your behavior that might
be wrong that they must be condemning
you
no no you need every single one of us
has blind spots and so you need some
people in your life
that will expose your blind spots and
let you know that there is something i
see that you don’t see
the holy spirit was kind enough to just
say amen
you’re a sinner you are disconnected
from god you are out of fellowship
with the god that created you and i’m
sitting on the back row and i’ve heard
every single sermon i’m a pk kid i heard
every single sermon
every single weekend i heard every
single altar call and i missed all of
them
but this day with no altar call during
morning worship while i’m sitting in the
back of the church
you’re a sinner and it was like he was
pointing out a mustard stain on my shirt
hey man you got something right there
you got something right there and the
moment he pointed it out and i looked at
it i thought
have you have you ever hit the ugly cry
when the lord speaks to you about
something that you know you shouldn’t
have been doing
and when you finally get it like you’ve
been doing it and you were cool doing it
until you got a real revelation that you
shouldn’t be doing it
and then all of a sudden you’re like
[Music]
that ugly cry i got hit with the ugly
cry that day
and i’m in the back of the church
back row last row of chairs
sitting there weeping while people are
going through the morning worship had no
idea at the time that my life was being
turned over
that the holy spirit had literally
grabbed my life started turning me over
on the back row
of this church i’m sitting there
and i’m bawling
i can’t i can’t give my life to jesus
right now
it ain’t a good time i got a show next
week
maybe after i get done with the show and
uh uh uh
i’m i’m i’m really promiscuous right now
and i and i got some
some girls out there and maybe i should
wait until i can explain it to them and
the holy spirit’s like no you
need to do this right now well i have an
addiction to pornography and i got a
stash under my bed
and and let me go clear that out first
and and the holy spirit said no no no
you don’t understand
if you don’t walk out of here with me
today you won’t clear that out first
you don’t get right and then come to me
you come to me and then get right
i’m sitting there sobbing and since i’m
a pk i know how the whole service is
going to go
and i know when the article is going to
happen and that was a long time from
when i
realized that i was disconnected
from god so i stood up during testimony
service
set up doing testimony service y’all and
here’s what i said i said um
i give up that was my testimony
everybody was looking like give up what
said i need to get saved right
now and yo that day my life got turned
upside down and let me tell you
something it’s been 24 years
since that moment and i’m still not over
it i am
still as upset 24 years later
as i was the day that i gave my life to
jesus christ
all the homies that i had in the hood
was like yo you’re not giving up these
shows
and you’re not giving up this status and
you’re not giving up
these women for jesus and so you’re
probably going through a phase
and they bet me twenty dollars
that i’d be back in six months
that was 24 years ago and since then
i’ve buried some of them since then i’ve
had to write some of them
if you don’t know what that means
they’re in prison and since then i’ve
had to counsel
the rest of them sometimes at two or
three o’clock in the morning
because they’re going yo man is it
really worth me giving this up
is it really worth me turning my life
upside down
for what you’re talking about i’m like
yeah man your life will never
be the same the only reason why i’m able
to do what i do
the way i do it is because i’m upset
i am as upset now as i was 24 years ago
and i’m telling
you when you really get on fire for god
there is nothing and no one
that’s going to stand in the way of you
being who god has called
you to be so good okay
all right so you got to be upset first
point number two please write this down
i’m coming for somebody right here okay
i’m just telling you right now before i
even read it
i’m coming for somebody right here point
number two okay in order for you to
upset
the world uh you have to let go of
religion
in order for you to upset the world you
have to let go
of religion i’m i’m talking to uh uh my
my my uh lifelong church people now i’m
talking to
the people that were born and raised in
church i’m talking about uh the people
that go back three and four generations
like yeah man i love church
church is good but but but is
he good or is it just the religious
practice
that you enjoy here’s what it says in
acts chapter number 9 verses
1 through 22. i’m reading a lot of
scripture you’re going to deal with that
okay
meanwhile saul was uttering threats with
every breath and was eager to kill the
lord’s followers
so he went to the high priest he
requested uh letters
addressed to the synagogues in damascus
asking for the cooperation and the
arrest
of any followers of the way he found
there he wanted to bring them both men
and women back
to jerusalem in chains let me just pause
right there and say yo
paul was a very devout religious
leader he was a pharisee he loved
god but even in him loving god he was
missing the fact
that jesus was his lord he couldn’t see
it
because of his religion you would think
because of his religion
he could see jesus but it was because of
his religion
that he actually couldn’t see him
i think i need to pause right there how
many of us
are are doing a lot of stuff for god
without god
how many of us are endeavoring to go out
and do a bunch of big stuff
for god that he never said he wanted to
do through
you as he was approaching damascus on
the mission
a light of heaven from heaven suddenly
shone down around him he fell to the
ground and heard a voice
saying to him so so
why are you persecuting me
i love this this this question he asked
who are you lord
yo i just want y’all to think about that
real quick
jesus talked to saul directly
and saul’s response was who are you lord
could it be that there’s a lot of people
that that
love the church but don’t know the lord
of the church
could it be that jesus wants to come
into your life and do
something significant in your life while
you
think you already have a relationship
with him
the real question that you might have on
the inside is i don’t even know you
lord i know about you
but i don’t know you let me take my time
a couple of years back at embassy city i
was preaching a message
and um a man in his seventies came
down to the altar and he gave his life
to jesus christ
and uh we we celebrated the fact that he
had opened up his heart and given his
life to christ but here was the thing
that tripped us all out
we already thought he was saved we
already thought
he had a relationship with jesus christ
not only did we
uh wind up mind blown by it but his son
was mind blown by it as well
and his son said hey dad um i saw you go
down to the altar
uh for for salvation but
but you’re already saved right and he
said no son i’m not
he said um i i thought i gave my life to
christ
in in 1974. but but i didn’t give my
life to christ i gave my life to my
denomination
who are you lord my god
oh you might know assembly’s a god but
you might not know
the god of the assembly
you might know baptist but you might not
know the lord of the baptism
you might know church of god in christ
but you might not know
of the christ in god’s church
you might know pentecost assemblies of
the world but you might not know that
the world
was assembled by the pentecost that
happened in acts 2.
who are you lord i i know that i might
be upset in your world right now because
i’m trying to turn you over
so that you step out of the skin that
you were born
and step into the skin you’re supposed
to be born again
in to who are you lord saw ass and the
voice replied
i am jesus the one
you are persecuting now get up
and go into the city and you will be
told what you must do
the men with saul stood pieces for they
heard the sound of someone’s voice but
saw no one
they heard the sound of someone’s voice
but saw no one they heard the sound
of someone’s voice but saw no one they
heard the sound of someone’s voice but
saw no one they
they heard the sound of someone’s voice
but they didn’t see anything could it be
that you’re having a revelation that
your friends ain’t having
could it be that god’s upset in your
world right next to somebody whose world
is not being upset at all
and you’re trying to convince them to
see what you see but they don’t
and it might be god saying it’s time for
you to separate from that relationship
because i’m trying to call you closer to
me and you’re trying to drag them with
you
well i gotta i gotta slow down on that
i’m trying to call you closer to me
but you’re trying to drag them with you
he couldn’t convince them to see what
they see even though they heard
what he heard
saul picked himself off at the ground
and when he opened his eyes he was blind
oh god it’s so good so his companions
led him
by the hand to damascus he remained
there blind
for three days and did not eat or drink
now there was a believer in damascus
named ananias he spoke
the lord spoke to him in a vision
calling ananias
yes lord he replied the lord said go
over to straight street oh can i just
pause right there
isn’t it isn’t it crazy when you’ve been
living a crooked life that god
in his grace would put you on straight
street
i i isn’t it amazing when when when
you’ve had
uh all of these rules that you’ve been
bended in your favor that god would
correct you and put you on straight
street go over to straight street to the
to the house of judas when you get there
ask for a man from tarsus named saul he
is praying to me right now
i have shown him in a vision of a man
named ananias coming in and laying hands
on him so he can see again
but lord exclaim ananias i’ve heard many
people talk about the terrible things
this man
has done to the believers in jerusalem
and he is authorized by the leading
priests to arrest
anyone who calls upon your name but the
lord said go
for saul is my chosen instrument to take
my message to the gentiles and to kings
as well as to the people of israel and i
will show him how much he must suffer
for my name’s sake so ananias went and
found saul
he laid hands on him and said brother
saul the lord jesus who appeared to you
on the road has sent me
so that you might regain your sight and
be filled with the holy spirit
instantly this man got his world turned
upside down y’all
instantly something like scales fell
from saul’s eyes and he regained
his sight then he got up
and was baptized afterward he ate some
food regained his strength saul
stayed with the believers in damascus
for a few
days yo i this is this is this is so
dope
i want to stop but let me just finish
this and immediately he began preaching
about jesus in the synagogue saying
he is indeed the son of god let me tell
you something when you get your life
turned upside down you don’t even wait
[Music]
when your life has been turned upside
down you know it and you don’t need to
go to bible college to proclaim them
you don’t need a masters in divinity to
proclaim them you don’t need a doctrine
in theology to proclaim them
when he turns your life upside down your
testimony
is enough we overcome by the blood
of the lamb and the word of our
testimony
and when you know that you were blind
but now you can see
when you know that you were down but now
you are up
where you know that you were trapped but
now you’ve been released
something changes
on the inside of you
that testimony changes everything and
you start to speak it
instantaneously because you might not
know all the hebrew
and you might not know all the greek but
you do know i was lost
now i’m found i was old now
i’m new i didn’t used to be convicted
of the stuff i did and now i can sense
god telling me
i shouldn’t be doing that i’ve had my
life turned
upside down all who learned him
all who heard him were amazed isn’t this
the same man who caused such
devastation among jesus’s followers in
jerusalem
can i just say that this is what some
some of y’all gonna go through in the
next few months
after you let this message get on the
inside of you
people gonna say is that the same is
that tasha
cause uh no no tasha used to smoke weed
every day
she always talked about the stuff that
she could see because she used to get so
high but now she’s saying that
that she’s getting revelation but she
ain’t been smoking is that the same girl
that can’t be tony you remember tony was
out there
wildin like tony tony was always hitting
the lick like tony was stealing from
everybody
tony stole his mama’s money
and you mean to tell me he is he’s
tithing
not tony that can’t be tony
upside down
and he didn’t come here to arrest him
and take them in chains to the leading
priests
saul’s preaching became more and more
powerful and the jews in damascus
couldn’t refute his proofs that jesus
was indeed the messiah peep game
religion is not an issue for god
the absence of god is
let me tell you why god in the old
testament told the children of israel
i hate your religious practices now
remember god’s the one that told him to
do those religious practices
why did he turn around and hate what
they were doing because they were doing
it without
him i have a date night with juliet
religiously
friday nights is our date night i love
spending time with my wife we’ve set
aside time religiously
to spend together now if she were to
wake up on a friday morning and be like
baby i’m not feeling that well
and so i don’t think we can go to the
movies tonight and i was like oh no
problem i’ma still go to the movies
though
because you know we set aside this time
to go to the movies so i’m going
to the movies if i go to the movies
without
juliette who i set
time aside to spend time with
then what i’m doing no longer benefits
me or her
see see see when you come to church and
you want to be in god’s presence
that’s good religion when you’re willing
to come to church whether god is present
or not
that’s bad religion when you forget who
you’re actually doing it for
it’s bad religion nothing was wrong with
saul being a pharisee it’s just that he
did not have
jesus as his messiah as he was still
trying to fulfill
the torah when he found out that jesus
was the torah
it changed his life which brings me to
point number three
in order for you to upset the world you
got to let go of your independence
in order for you to upset the world you
must let go
of your independence here’s what it says
in luke chapter number 5
verses 1 through 11. one day as jesus
was preaching on the shore
of the sea of galilee great crowds
pressed in on him to listen to the word
of god
he noticed two empty boats at the
water’s edge for the fishermen had left
them
and were washing their nets stepping
into one of the boats jesus
asked simon its owner to push it out
into the water so he sat
in the boat and taught the crowds from
there when he had finished speaking
he said to simon now go out where it is
deeper
and let your nets down to catch
some fish jesus got on a fisherman’s
boat
and told a fisherman how to fish
who does he think he is
master simon replied we worked hard all
last night and didn’t catch a thing
but if you say so i’ll let the nets down
again i gotta stop right here
listen sit oh thank you holy spirit i i
think for some of y’all
the the the first step of you of you
walking into a relationship with god
where you might not trust him yet but
you step out on faith is just by you
merely responding to whatever he tells
you to do by
if you say so like like i don’t even
know
why i’m out here like this but if you
say so i don’t even know why i’m doing
this but if you say so
i don’t even know why you told me to say
this but if you say so
i don’t even know why i broke up with
him but if you say so
i don’t even know why you told me to
move to tulsa but if you
say so i don’t even know why you told me
to sell that car
but if you say so
if you say so i’ll go
if you say so now now now our business
uh
no disrespect rabbi our business works
at night
you know we we fish and we fish
in the shallow part of the water
at night because when we throw our net
the fish can’t see them
you telling us to go out in broad
daylight in the deep
where the fish can see but if you say so
and this time their nets were so full of
fish they began to tear
a shout for help brought their partners
in the other boat and soon both boats
were
filled with fish and on the verge of
sinking
when peter realized what had happened i
love this
when peter realized what had happened he
fell to his knees before jesus and said
oh lord please leave me i’m such a
sinful man listen i gotta tell this to
somebody right now
you think that god’s got to beat you up
for where he has found you and wants to
come into a relationship with you no no
he will bless you up he don’t have to
beat you up
he will bless you up jesus gets on a
boat of a man
that doesn’t even know if he’s who he
says he is
and he blesses them so good the dude is
reminded of his own sin
see sometimes god ain’t got to beat you
up
to get you to see that you need to
follow him he’ll bless you up
and the blessing will be so extravagant
the only thing you can say i don’t even
deserve it
i don’t even know why you’re even doing
this for me because you know what i did
last night and the fact that you still
gave me a promotion
i might need to stop this foolishness
god has more than one way to upset your
world
sometimes he needs to make the scales
pop from your eyes
other times he just blesses you because
it’s with loving kindness
that he draws you oh lord please leave
me i’m such a sinful man
for he was all struck by the number of
fish they had caught
as were the others with him his partners
james and john the sons of zebedee were
also amazed jesus replied to simon don’t
be afraid
jesus is such a boss hey man don’t be
afraid
from now on you’ll be fishing for people
it’s just stinky like the way you just
caught this fish
i’m gonna let you do that with people
the way i just bless your business
i’m gonna let you be a blessing to
people
and as soon as they landed they left
everything and follow jesus now listen
y’all this
point jacks me up you mean to tell me
that a business owner
just had the single greatest day of
business
the singest greatest the single greatest
day of sales
in the history of the company and their
response
to that level of blessing
is i quit
their their response to that blessing
was i quit the business wait a minute
you just had the single greatest day in
the history of your business i know
but i would rather have the person that
blessed me
than to stay here with the blessing i
don’t know who i’m talking to
but god wants you to know i want you to
get get in love with me and not just
what i
do for you fall in love with the blesser
and not just the blessing
