Welcome to our worship service.
We trust that your Easter, while unique, was meaningful. It is such a privilege to bring this service to you. To access the videos, and prayer info, just click on the underlined words and they will open up in your browser. Just a reminder that we will share communion together this week. It is part of the sermon.
Leave comments if you want to, either here at the website, or through our facebook page.
It is my prayer that even though we are absent from one another, the Holy Spirit will bring Jesus alive with you as you worship Him.

It is so good to see the church doing well and making a difference in these times. Keep up the great work in impacting Whyalla & beyond. Our love, thoughts and prayers are always with you. Thanks for the message on a clean heart Ps. Richard.
Keith & Janet
Thanks Keith and Janet. WBC is a special group of God’s people and it is a privilege to be a part of them. So many have a heart for this city and further afield too. Thank you for your love, thoughts and prayers. Richard
I’m grateful for a house boarder as God gave me company when I would most need it. I am also thankful to the people within our town and Australia as a whole trying to focus on positives and bring love and laughter into homes. I am grateful for our ability to connect with others during these times here with our neighbors and further afield. I am more than grateful to my church family and home group in particular for the love and connection that continues. I’m thankful for Richard and Karol in continuing to bring our Sunday worship to our homes so we can hear God’s word, and to Ratna to introduce me to other Christians from her Adelaide church to spend time in prayers with others Thankyou Lord Jesus for filling my life with promise and positivity during such times
I am thankful for my family and all they do within their own neighbourhoods. I am thankful for Kaitlins safety during this time and her ability to help others during this time, so very thankful for the gifts you have given her
Thank you so much Hellene for your comments. Love your heart in all this. Being grateful is like a virus all on its own – just by reading how grateful you are to all that God is doing and how He is blessing you, make me think about how grateful I am for Him. P.S We misses you on Tuesday. Hope you are feeling better. Richard
Thanks Richard
Love the sermon and it’s direct relationship between current life and our need to clean ourselfs spiritually as well as physically. Same today as in King Davids time
Thanks Hellene. King David is a great example of what God can do in and with a person’s life.
I am grateful for being able to travel back home to Whyalla with the family. For bringing Richard and I to Whyalla to support people to be God’s light in this town. God has truly blessed and supplied our needs and for that I am truly grateful. I am grateful for God’s love washing me clean and being faithful to the promises he has given me over the years.
Thanks Karol. Having lived with you for a few years, I know the depth of this gratefulness too. God is incredible. Got to say that in addition to what you have said, I am grateful for you and our children. He is amazingly faithful in His love and grace. 🙂
Dear Richard Greetings from Pastor Deane May the LORD JESUS continue to use you and Bless the Gathering at Whyalla You are continually upon my Heart .So wonderful to see that the Vision The LORD Gave us so many yrs ago is still active today Just like the ch at Ephesus, Keep the word faithfully in your heart, do not rest upon your Laurels ,Keep on preaching the truth as you do. I Long to visit you again but alas health and old age have caught up with me . But I have fought the faith and worship with a Wonderful group of People down here in Huonville TAS we record our service on http://www.epiphanyministriestasmania.com Looking forward to reunion with you in Glory Your Brother in the LORD JESUS Pastor Deane STEVENSON
Thank you so much Pastor Deane. You have encouraged me deeply, especially with the charge to keep the word faithfully in my heart and not to rest on my laurels. WBC is a special congregation that has benefited greatly from people who have ministered to her. Each I am sure have left some of their spiritual DNA. Huonville must be a beautiful part of the world down in Tasmania. Thanks for the link. I will check it out.
God’s richest blessing upon you Pastor Deane. Until we meet at the great feast. Richard
Thanks Richard, I like how the songs connected to the Sermon, Nothing but the blood of Jesus washing us clean.
Hi Amaya. I love how some worship leaders mold the truths contained in old hymns with current worship songs. Yes, nothing but the blood of Jesus washes us clean.
This is a great song after hearing the sermon.

Thanks Zali. I appreciate your support. Love hearing your song suggestions.
Timely message Richard! Funnily enough Tim and I have been studying the same verse this week and about King David. How gracious God is to forgive us but oh how much do we need His cleansing! Was uplifting Hellene, Karol and Richard to hear about what you are grateful for. Thanks for blessing us with your sermons each week Richard…..and Karol your chuckles in the background are gold! Tess
Thanks Tess. You are incredibly encouraging. I am often drawn to David because his relationships are so real, both with people and with God. Doesn’t surprise me that you and Tim have been looking at these verse at all. God wants us clean. It is our pleasure, Karol and mine, to serve WBC in this way. Richard
