A.W. Tozer illustrates the church as an ark amidst the floodwaters, emphasizing that just as Noah's ark was the sole means of salvation during the flood, the church of Jesus Christ serves as the only refuge for the saved in a perishing world. He stresses that being part of the church is essential for salvation, as it is the body of Christ where life is found, and outside of it, there is only loss. Tozer clarifies that while joining a local church does not guarantee salvation, Christ is the door to the true church, and one must enter through Him. He warns against the independent Christian life, which neglects the importance of being part of a church community, despite the presence of hypocrites. Ultimately, Tozer calls for recognition of the church's vital role in God's plan for salvation.

David Wilkerson emphasizes the interconnectedness of believers as members of the body of Christ, drawing from Paul's teachings in 1 Corinthians. He illustrates that just as a human body cannot function with only one part, Christians cannot be truly united with Christ while isolating themselves from one another. The sermon highlights the importance of community and mutual support among believers, asserting that each member is vital for the body to function effectively. Wilkerson reminds us that we are all nourished by Christ, the bread of life, and that our relationships with each other are essential to our spiritual health.
