Public Talks |
Who we are and what we believeThe Parkstone Christadelphian Church has been in Douglas Road, Parkstone, Dorset UK since 1960. The name ‘Christadelphian’ means ‘Brothers and Sisters in Christ’ and we are members of a world-wide community of Christians. We aim to live our life by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, according to the teaching of His followers in the first century AD. We see the Bible as the wholly inspired Word of God and we base all our beliefs on Bible teaching. Central to Christadelphian belief is that Jesus Christ will soon return to the Earth. He will establish the Kingdom of God and grant eternal life to His people – those who have tried to follow Him and His Father. We ask all those who are interested in the Gospel message to study their Bible. It will be our privilege and responsibility to help all those who want to come to a knowledge of Bible truth. MEMORIAL MEETING: Please note that the time for our memorial meeting is 10.30am every Sunday. We then break for refreshments before commencing our public talk at 12.15pm PUBLIC TALKS: The following Sunday afternoon public talks are planned, God willing. All take place at our Douglas Road Hall and start at 12.15pm. (Except where noted) You'll be sure of a warm welcome when you come along! |
21st October 2018 - 'In the Beginning' - given by Marcus Perriman
“We shall take a look at the very start of the Bible and what it claims is the beginning of all things, and then ask how this is relevant today with our understanding of the nature of the universe, and why it is relevant to each of us individually” 
28th October 2018 - 'Time and Chance - a Biblical Perspective' - given by Jonathan Edwards
Consideration of our own experiences of when time, we rarely have enough and chance, which only occasionally seems to work in our favour, appear to be influencing our lives lead us to think about change and choice. The biblical record has a lot to say about time, chance, change and choice and it becomes clear that our understanding can be directed and underpinned if we take the time to appreciate the biblical perspective. 
4 November 2018 - 'Every Picture tells a Story'
- given by Martin Longland THIS WILL BE A FAMILY SERVICE 
11 November 2018 - If Jesus is alive, where is he and what is he doing now? ' - given by Philip Mundey
‘If Jesus is alive, where is he and what is he doing now? Is he a disinterested, passive observer of world events, or does he have an active role in shaping or controlling the big picture? Is he interested in people, and able to guide and support them individually - can he help us today? And will he remain out of human sight, or will he be seen again, perhaps here on earth?’ 
18 November 2018 - 'Seeing and Understanding' - given by John Greenwood
We are surrounded by visual images but we don't always understanding what we see with our eyes. The same can be true of what we hear or read. We jump to conclusions and misinterpret the signs. The Bible is full of word pictures but their significance and lessons for today may not be immediately obvious. For example, when Jesus restored sight to the eyes of a blind man, he not only enabled him to see the world around him but he also teaches us a lesson about seeing and understanding. 
25 November 2018 - 'Living in a Multi-Faith Society' - given by James Bilton
We live in a whirlpool of different faiths and world views. So, how should a Christian relate to non-Christians? Do we keep them at arm’s length to keep our faith pure? Do we try to convert them? Or do we engage with them and try to find common ground, but with the danger that we compromise what is unique about the Christian revelation? How are we to be a good neighbour in a complex world? |
