The Bridge Week 4 Discussion Guide

Summary
This sermon explores Isaiah 55 and focuses on seeking true fulfillment in God rather than chasing temporary satisfactions. The pastor uses the story of Swedish DJ Avicii as a modern example of someone who had worldly success but still struggled to find meaning. The sermon emphasizes God's invitation to all who are thirsty to come to His waters, highlighting the contrast between human ways of seeking fulfillment and God's higher ways.
