The first in a series of ’Talks’ by Stephen Best on Authentic Church. Many want Church to change, but change it into what and at what cost? Authentic Church reminds us of the essentials that comprise the real church. Part 1 focuses on ‘What Is Church’?

Before we start reimagining and reinventing the church, Authentic Church Pt. 2 on 'CG Talks’ reminds us who church is for.

CG Talks - 'Authentic Church Pt. 3' maintains that authentic demands authentic spirituality. Authentic spirituality represents a people being shaped together into the image Christ.

CG Talks - 'Authentic Church Pt. 4’ describes how authentic church implies the expectation of the manifest presence of the Holy Spirit.

CG Talks - 'Authentic Church Pt. 5’ explores how Authentic Church enjoys authentic worship, which centres around Jesus’ reference in Jn. 4:22-24 to there being true worshipers, who worship God the Father, and who worship in Spirit and truth.

"When Christians put the church ahead of the Kingdom, they settle for the status quo and their own kind of people." Howard A Snyder
