SHIFT TO SACRIFICE

by | Apr 13, 2025 | Kingdom Culture

Welcome to VIVA SUNDAY! We’re so glad to have you in the room with us today and grateful for everyone joining us online as we go deeper into our Kingdom Culture series with Lead Pastor Frank Seixas. Today’s message is titled “Shift to Sacrifice,” and it’s all about returning to the heart of worship—not just through music or emotion, but through daily surrender. In a culture that often promotes comfort, ease, and self-focus, Jesus is calling us into a life marked by sacrifice, obedience, and devotion.

This message challenges us to move from songs to sacrifice, where worship becomes more than a Sunday expression—it becomes a Monday lifestyle. From starting your day with God, to forgiving those who’ve hurt you, to choosing integrity when no one’s watching—real worship costs something. Pastor Frank unpacks what it means to be a living sacrifice, and how the most powerful worship comes from a heart that says, “Not my will, but Yours be done.” As we learn to live this way, we discover that sacrifice leads to intimacy—and God draws near to the broken and surrendered heart.

At VIVA CHURCH, we believe that God is shifting us from performance to presence. It’s not about perfect words or polished actions, but a life that is fully yielded to Him. Let’s reframe worship as a lifestyle, renew our altars daily, and become a people marked by wholehearted devotion.

  • 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.
