Linder Road Lectureship_ First Keynote Speaker

Lesson 1 of 6 October 14, 2016

The evening began with a warm introduction of Kevin Hahn, a second‑generation preacher from Lake Houston Church of Christ, highlighting his background, family, education, and missionary service. The speaker then shifted focus to the central theme of his address: the Organic Church, emphasizing that true church health lies in returning to uncomplicated, biblical fundamentals rather than getting tangled in complex structures or “intellectual spaghetti."\n\nThrough vivid personal stories—such as a bewildering engine schematic lesson and a nostalgic Mousetrap game—Kevin illustrated how both secular and religious systems often become unnecessarily intricate. He reminded the congregation that the Bible describes the church simply as the body of Christ, a family, and a pillar supporting the truth. By grounding the discussion in three straightforward concepts—devotion, humility, and unity—he urged listeners to prioritize these virtues in worship, fellowship, and daily life, fostering a church that reflects the simplicity and power of the gospel.
