Tom Thompson opened the Vineyard Leaders’ Gathering 2025 with a powerful message exploring the call, the cost, and the joy of the Kingdom, through the life of Isaiah. In this talk (part one of two talks), Tom reminded us that we are living in a greater story, a Kingdom story, and that God’s revelation isn’t just for knowledge but for transformation.

Though the cost of leadership may be high, joy is found in the hope of a coming day when Jesus will make all things right. Our lives now are meant to reflect that future reality with faithfulness, worship, and mission.
