T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes that the Church is fundamentally supernatural, originating from heaven and sustained by divine power. He explains that true Christianity, embodied in the Church, must be recognized as a spiritual entity that encounters opposition but ultimately prevails through supernatural support. The sermon outlines essential features of a true local church, including heavenly light, life, food, fellowship, and order, all of which reflect Christ's presence and purpose. Sparks warns against the dangers of relying on worldly methods, which can lead to a loss of spiritual power and impact. He calls for a return to the supernatural foundation of the Church to fulfill its divine mission.

Leonard Ravenhill challenges the church to reflect on its current state, contrasting the supernatural power of the early church with the superficiality of modern congregations. He emphasizes the urgency of the church to prepare for the impending judgment and the need for genuine spiritual revival, rather than mere entertainment or superficial gatherings. Ravenhill calls for a return to the roots of apostolic faith, where the church was marked by miracles, prayer, and a deep relationship with God, rather than being bogged down by tradition and superficiality. He urges believers to seek the Holy Spirit's power and to live out their faith authentically, as the early church did, to impact the world around them.
