That sometimes you need to listen to God even when everyone else thinks that you are crazy? That you are responsible for following God and helping your family before you need to worry about saving the rest of the world? That God will provide protection and hope and a way out even when it seems impossible?
That human nature doesn't change...Noah's sons were "saved" did some very inappropriate things.
There is a lot of symbolism (baptism, etc.) and a foretelling of Jesus. (God sending us a way out, without which will end in death and destruction)
That's just off the top of my head, lol, so I am sure there are tons of great things that others can come up with.
