I really wanted to get a strong image of the rays of sun bursting through the clouds. I feel it has turned out flat, noisy and unfocused. I would really apperciate input on how to improve the quality of such a shot.

The noise can be cleaned up with noise reduction software. An agressive curves adjustment will increase the contrast for you (s-curve). You might also want to take the forground into silloutte. I would clone the church spire out. You can also play with Hue/Saturation and maybe Colour Balance adjustment layers to give the colout more impact.
