FROM MY PLANS TO GOD’S PURPOSES

by | Sep 7, 2025 | Shift From Me to Him

This VIVA SUNDAY is going to be unforgettable! We’re back to three services, and it’s BAPTISM SUNDAY with 55 people publicly declaring their faith in Jesus through water baptism. What a powerful testimony of God’s transforming love and the new life we have in Christ!

Our Lead Pastor, Frank Seixas, will continue our brand-new series SHIFT — From Me to Him with the message SHIFT: FROM MY PLANS TO GOD’S PURPOSES. While our own plans are often limited and uncertain, God’s purposes are eternal, life-giving, and unshakable. This message will remind us that salvation and transformation come when we let go of control and align our lives with the will of God.

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.
