As the end of this year is getting close, I have been spending some time summarizing 2009, especially in regards to my work in Korskyrkan, Uppsala. It all began a few weeks ago as I started thinking about what I have been teaching. What are the main elements of my sermons? 65000+ words later. What [...]
I’ve decided to publish some of my sermons (2007- ) here on my website. The work has started and more will be added later on. To access them, you will have to sign up for a free account here at korslind.com (sign-up here)
The sermons are only available in swedish (mp3/audio and pdf/notes).
After sign-up and login, [...]
We´ve started out a series of sermons on discipleship in Korskyrkan. I’ve created a special series site with some material (all in swedish). The whole series is built upon Romans chapter 12, where Paul writes about discipleship from three perspectives. Paul explains that discipleship is all about how we relate to God, the christian fellowship [...]
Okay, so the Swedish humanist society is on the go once again. This time with a campaign that resembles a lot of a campaign in England. The other evening, as I was getting on the subway, I saw this big advertisement saying “God probably does not exist”. It’s almost amusing (deliberate?) that the humanist society [...]
I went to Sofia kyrka (part of the swedish lutheran church) this afternoon. There Jonas Gardell (comedian, writer and artist) shared his view on who Jesus Christ was.
Om Jesus
Gardell previously wrote a book called About God (2003) and this easter his new book About Jesus (2009) was published. I haven’t had the time to read [...]
Emergent and missional church are two of many new names or definitions, all trying to describe “new” ways of church life and organisation. At the core it’s basically all about creating a definition of the ecclesiology (the study of doctrine pertaining to the Church itself as a community or organic entity and with the understanding [...]
I have been preparing for yet another sermon. The title is “One step further” and has to do with the fact that we all need to change certain things in our lives and this Sunday we will be looking at how we can make that next step of change happen. As I’ve been writing I [...]
I’ve already written a post on my impressions from my visit to the New Wine summer conference “Kingdom come” (can be found here). As I went through my notes I found some from a seminary called “The top 10 tasks of Christian leadership”. Sometimes I get a bit suspicious about top-lists (even though I like [...]
The last couple of days has been a time of summarizing and contemplation, as I returned from my visit to the UK and New Wine’s summer conference “Kingdom Come”. So what are some of my major impressions? One might think that it was visiting the National Gallery at Trafalgar Square and looking at some of [...]

I’ve just prepared my new photogallery and it’s finally up and running with a few photos. A couple of days ago I also developed my first role of Holga-negatives, which was an exciting experience. I’ll upload a few of them any day now.
Please visit the webgallery and feel welcome to leave a comment or two [...]

The last couple of months have been busy to say the least.
At the end of 2008 I decided to end my employment at EFS-kapellet, Lund and headed back to Stockholm again. As I was preparing to return to Stockholm, Korskyrkan in Uppsala contacted me about a pastors vacancy opportunity and it turned out to be [...]

So, I am back from my trip to Tanzania. It was a rather intense 2,5 weeks with lots of new impressions and experiences. We spent most of the time in the small village of Kapolo, just about 10 kilometers from the rural city of Ifakara which can be found close by the main mountain reef [...]

My summer reading of biographies continues and this time with a book about John Wesley. I’ve started to read “Wesley and the People called Methodists” written by Richard P. Heitzenrater. The first part of this 300+ pages volume is about the early development of the Church in England and how it gradually became the Church [...]

Im getting close to the end of the book and slowly a picture is being formed within of who this extraordinary person was. In a recent posting Reflections on “Wigglesworth – the complete story” I shared some of my initial reflections. Wigglesworth seems to have been very much criticized specially for some of his teaching [...]

This spring I decided to dedicate part of my summer-reading to a few, different biographies. Why? Well, mostly to get inspired and hopefully a bit stirred up and encouraged to go deeper and explore more and maybe even new areas of my discipleship.
The first book I decided to read was Wigglesworth – the complete [...]

Back in 2004 I saw Sofia Coppola’s debut movie Lost in Translation staring Bill Murray (Broken Flowers, The Darjeeling Limited, The Royal Tenenbaums) who plays the role of a actor named Bob Harris.
Harris is in Tokyo, Japan to film a commercial for Suntory whiskey. As he arrives to the film set he meets the Japanese [...]

It’s been quite some time since I posted anything here. The last couple of weeks have been pretty busy. Last Sunday (Day of Pentecost) I preached about what happened when the Holy Spirit was poured out on all the followers of Christ back in Jerusalem, 50 days after the Easter drama when Jesus was crucified [...]

I was sitting out in the sun this afternoon reading the last couple of chapters in a book. Beside me sat a group of three. It was really hard to really focus on the reading and I was constantly interrupted by their conversation. Suddenly the two girls made a comment on the trousers I believe [...]
