Why is faith in Christ compared to trusting an ark in the sermon?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ is likened to trusting an ark as both symbolize safety and deliverance from judgment.

In the sermon, the ark symbolizes Christ, who provides safety in the face of judgment. Just as Moses was placed in the ark to evade Pharaoh's decree, believers are 'placed' in Christ to escape the judgment of sin. This metaphor illustrates that faith requires entrusting our whole being to Christ, just as Jochebed made the difficult decision to release Moses into the river while trusting God's providence. Our faith rests upon Christ, who is the ultimate refuge and the one through whom we are delivered from the wrath of God.
