A JOURNEY OF FAITH: EVERYONE MATTERS

Join us this VIVA SUNDAY as our Lead Pastor, Frank Seixas, delivers an inspiring message titled “A Journey of Faith: Everyone Matters.” Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12:12-27, Pastor Frank will delve into the profound truth that we are all integral parts of the body of Christ. Whether we feel insignificant or overwhelmed, each one of us has a unique and essential role to play in God’s grand design. Through this message, we will be reminded that in God’s family, no one is redundant, and every contribution is valuable.

In his sermon, Pastor Frank will address the misconceptions that can arise within the church community. She will challenge the thoughts of those who feel they can’t contribute (“I can’t do anything!”) by emphasizing that every member is divinely placed and purposefully crafted to fulfill a specific function, as highlighted in Ephesians 2:10. She will also speak to those who feel burdened with doing everything (“I have to do everything!”) by illustrating the importance of honoring and valuing every part of the body, as God Himself has arranged them to work together harmoniously.

Finally, Pastor Frank will confront the notion of self-sufficiency (“I don’t need anybody else.”) by stressing the interconnectedness of the body of Christ. As Romans 12:15 and the latter verses of 1 Corinthians 12 reveal, we are called to rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn, sharing in each other’s lives and experiences. This VIVA SUNDAY, let us come together to celebrate our diversity and unity, recognizing that each one of us is a vital part of the body of Christ.

  • 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.
