GENEROSITY: SHIFT FROM SELF-RELIANCE TO TRUST IN GOD

by Pastor Frank Seixas | Mar 30, 2025 | Kingdom Culture

Welcome to VIVA SUNDAY! We’re so excited to have you with us, whether you’re joining in person or online. Today, our Lead Pastor, Frank Seixas, continues our Kingdom Culture series with a powerful message: “Generosity – Shift from Self-Reliance to Trust in God.” We live in a world that tells us to depend on ourselves, but true kingdom living calls us to trust God as our provider. Get ready for a message that will challenge and inspire you to live with open hands and an open heart!

What does it mean to have a culture of generosity? It’s more than just giving—it’s about trusting God, reflecting His nature, and investing in things that have eternal value. Through Proverbs 3:5-6, Philippians 4:19, and Matthew 6:19-21, we’ll discover how generosity isn’t just about finances but about a lifestyle of trust, surrender, and faith. When we shift from self-reliance to dependence on God, we step into the abundant life He has for us!

Let’s worship, lean into the Word, and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to us today! If you’re watching online, drop a comment and let us know where you’re tuning in from. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe to stay connected with all that God is doing at VIVA CHURCH! 🙌🔥

Pastor Frank Seixas

I am Frank the co-lead Pastor and with my wife Chris are the founders of VIVA Church in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. I first came to Canada in 1987, following God’s call to permanently move from Brazil to Canada. In August 1992, I started VIVA Church. In January 1994, I married Chris, and in 1996, I graduated from the Nazarene Bible College of Canada. Later I was awarded Doctor of Divinity (DDiv) from Canada Christian College in 2022.

With a vision to reach people for Jesus, VIVA Church has grown to become a positive influence for the Kingdom, not only in Oshawa but also by planting churches internationally in countries like Cambodia and Uganda. Beyond our work at the local church, I (Frank) serve the body of Christ on the boards of other ministries and churches, and I am part of the Apostolic Ministry of MFI-Canada. I also travel to speak at conferences and many churches around the world.

Chris and I have dedicated more than 30 years to serving at VIVA Church, witnessing the salvation and growth of many. We have been blessed with two beautiful daughters: Leticia, our youngest, and Gabriella, our oldest, who is married to Matheus.
