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! |
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? 
02 December 2018 - 'Israel 70 years on' - given by Steve Hammett
09 December 2018 - 'Loving your enemies' - given by Matthew Swain It is natural for us to like our friends or those who are kind to us, but how should we treat those who dislike us? This talk seeks to look at the message of love that Jesus preached and the impact that it can have on our lives and those around us? 
16 December 2018 - 'Is being good, good enough?' - given by Luke Harrison
"Is being a good citizen, friend and neighbour good enough for God? How does God value our good deeds and can they ever be sufficient to result in us receiving an eternal reward? In this session we will evaluate what God wants from everyone that believe in Him, and how we can ensure that we are acting in a way that pleases God." 
30 December 2018 - 'Finding contentment - this year, next year, sometime, ever?' - given by Jeremy Ward
