SHIFT (Part 1)

by Pastor Frank Seixas | Jan 5, 2025 | Shift

Welcome to 2025 at VIVA CHURCH! This Sunday marks the beginning of a powerful new season as we step into the word for this year: SHIFT! Join us for an inspiring message from our Lead Pastor, Frank Seixas, as we explore what it means to advance, accelerate, and move forward in every area of our lives. Drawing from Philippians 3:13-14 and Isaiah 43:18-19, Pastor Frank will challenge us to leave the past behind and embrace the new things God is doing. This is the year of forward momentum—are you ready to SHIFT?

In this message, Pastor Frank will unpack how we can experience a SHIFT in our perspective, spiritual growth, and engagement. From renewing our minds (Romans 12:2) to living in the supernatural (Ephesians 3:20), this teaching will inspire you to see beyond the natural and align yourself with God’s extraordinary plans for your life. Whether it’s choosing faith over fear, gratitude over complaint, or an eternal focus over temporary satisfaction, 2025 is about stepping into the fullness of what God has in store. Let’s walk by faith, not by sight, and believe that all things are possible with God!

This is your year to SHIFT into new levels of purpose, hope, and transformation. Don’t miss this foundational message that will set the tone for 2025 at VIVA CHURCH. Invite your friends and family to join us for this special kickoff to the year, and let’s embrace all that God has prepared for us. Together, let’s declare: 2025 is the year we SHIFT forward in Jesus’ name!

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.
