What does reformation look like in the local church?

Jason Dohm explains in this video that when a church begins to be reformed, it begins to look more like the church life that we see illustrated in the New Testament. This kind of church life is highly relational and highly devoted to preaching, prayer, singing, observance of the Lord’s Table, and to one another.

People invest in each other’s lives. Once a church begins to reform, the impersonal type of church life that is so prevalent today begins to disappear. We begin to know one another better, be a blessing and encouragement to each other, and help each other progress in the faith. 

Acts 2:42 (NKJV) - "And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers."

When a church begins to be Reformed, it begins to look more like the vision of local church life that we see in the Scriptures. Well, what is that? It's highly relational and it's highly devoted to preaching, prayer, singing, observance of the Lord's table and a devotion to one another so that I think I began by saying it was highly relational. I think it probably bookended that by saying that we're really in each other's lives. I think when churches begin to be reformed, the impersonal type of church life that is so prevalent today begins to disappear.

We begin to know one another better and to be a greater blessing to one another and encouragement to one another and actually are helping one another make progress in the faith.
