"Grace Beneath the Waves" Jonah Week #2 Text: Jonah 1:17–2:10 Topic: Prayer, Salvation, Listening, Obeying Big Idea of the Message: When Jonah literally hits rock bottom, God rescues him and redirects his thoughts and actions. Application Point: God can hear your prayer, save you, and create space for you to listen to and obey him, even when you are at your lowest point. Discussion Questions: What is one thing that stood out to you from this week’s message? Tell us about the worst day of your life. How was God present with you when you were at your lowest point? What purpose does prayer serve in difficult times? Salvation Belongs to the Lord. What things has God done to redirect your life toward his purpose? How can we pray for you this week?

Text: Jonah 1:1–17 Topic(s): Calling, Disobedience, Providence, Salvation Big Idea of the Message: Jonah rejects God’s call to preach to the city of Nineveh and finds himself floating in a sea of regret. Application Point: Don’t try to outrun God’s purpose for your life; it is futile and often costly for you and for those around you. Discussion Questions: What is one thing that stood out to you from this week’s message? How have you run from God’s purpose and plan for your life? What were the consequences of your running from God? How do our actions impact the people around us? What would keep you from running toward God rather than running from him? How can I pray for you?

How would you explain God's initiating love show in the Gospel to someone who thinks the Christianity is only about being religious? How do you experience the love of God in the Christian life? Why is it important for others to understand the love of God in Christ Jesus? ...Rainier Valley Church exists to glorify God...(1 Cor 10:31) How would you explain to someone who isn't from a church background what it means t
