# Summary
The sermon explores the theme of faith and obedience through the metaphor of boats in the Bible. It highlights various biblical stories where boats played a significant role, such as Noah's Ark, Moses' basket, and the fishing boats of Peter and the disciples. The sermon emphasizes the importance of trusting God even when circumstances seem dire or when His instructions seem illogical. It teaches that faith requires action and that God's provision is often just beyond our immediate perception, waiting for us to step out in faith and obedience.
