New Creation Identity: From Toiling All Night to Resurrection Dawn

Chris Berglund preaching at The Gathering Church in Colorado Springs about new creation identity and leaving spiritual exhaustion.

Many of us are spiritually exhausted because we’ve been “toiling all night”—fighting sin like a verb instead of receiving identity like a gift. In John 21, resurrection dawn changes everything: Jesus meets the disciples with a finished breakfast, a restored heart, and an unbroken net. This is an invitation out of striving and into union—where Christ’s life becomes our life.

This week, we explored Matthew 11—where Jesus invites the weary into rest—and how the “violence” of the kingdom often looks like forgiving, releasing debt, and choosing mercy.

A fresh look at Genesis: rest, enthronement, and the dove

Chris Berglund preaching at The Gathering

What if Sabbath isn’t inactivity but enthronement—Christ’s life reigning through us? From Noah’s dove and rainbow to the priestly rest we’re invited to right now, Genesis points to a single reality: the Kingdom within, enthroning Jesus in the heart until His life, not our striving, flows.

At The Gathering in Colorado Springs, we’re not building outward through ambition—we’re letting Jesus build inward through love, surrender, and union. This message unpacks the four “Beholds” of John 19 and invites us to become a people formed by Christ alone. Discover the story behind Company 318 and how God is knitting together a family rooted in revelation, humility, and communion.

Home at Last: The Gospel of Union and Belonging

Communion elements representing the Gospel of belonging – The Gathering Church in Colorado Springs

So many of us have heard a version of the gospel that centers on distance and striving. But what if the gospel is actually a love story—one that begins in the Trinity and ends at a Table? In this reflection, Leah Ramirez unpacks the radical truth of face-to-face union with God and what it means to live from communion instead of performance.
