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!

Balancing our lives across all the different demands on our time can be really challenging. Work, family, church - all need/demand our attention and we can find it very hard to feel we are getting it right. In this service we will take a practical look at how we can approach getting our relationship with God right, and even challenging if there can be a balance, or maybe this is the wrong approach? 
22 July 2018 - 'Is Jesus out of reach?' - given by Eric Lowe
This illustrated talk looks at how and where we can get to know Jesus. Many of us feel, from time to time, that we are in a dark and unreachable place where no-one, let alone Jesus, is approachable for help and support. We will look at some of the people Jesus did meet and reached out to. We will hear what he said about who he was looking to help and get to know. Finally, we see what happened in the early church as Christianity began to spread throughout Europe.
