MY YES TO GOD

Welcome to VIVA Church for another powerful VIVA SUNDAY service! Join us as our Lead Pastor, Frank Seixas, brings a transformative message titled “MY YES TO GOD,” based on Luke 5:1-11. This is a story of obedience, faith, and transformation—where Simon Peter and his companions encountered Jesus in a way that changed their lives forever.

In this passage, Jesus invites Simon to “launch out into the deep” despite his exhaustion and previous failures. Simon’s reluctant but obedient “yes” leads to an overwhelming miracle—the largest catch of fish he had ever seen. Through this miraculous moment, Simon realized the power of saying “yes” to God, even when it doesn’t make sense. Jesus then gives Simon a greater calling: to become a “fisher of men.” This moment of surrender and faith sets the foundation for Simon’s life-changing journey with Christ.

As we dive into this message, we’ll explore the importance of our own responses to God’s invitations in our lives. Will we, like Simon, trust Him and say “yes” even when we’re tired or uncertain? When we make ourselves available to God, He not only blesses us but uses us to impact the lives of others. Come and be inspired to say “yes” to God’s plans, and watch how your faith can shape the world around you!

  • 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.
