Opening up the parable of talents we think about all that God has entrusted us with and what we do with it as we consider "Are we ready to meet our Lord" and "are we ready to serve him in this place"? "Your boat is whatever represents safety and security to you apart from God himself. Your boat is whatever you are tempted to put your trust in, especially when life gets a little stormy. Your boat is whatever keeps you so comfortable that you don't want to give it up even if it's keeping you from joining Jesus on the waves. Your boat is whatever pulls you away from the high adventure of extreme discipleship." (Ortberg. J. 2001. If you want to walk on water you've got to get out of the boat).

Jesus met a woman at a well and shared with her the ‘water of life’ that he could offer. Unlike actual water - which we need to drink constantly, Jesus offers ‘living water’ – hope and salvation that will never leave us and will quench our spiritual thirst in our day to day lives. This Samaritan women also realised that Jesus knew all about her past, and yet still met with her, and wanted to share his life with her too.
The parable of the mustard seed represents three things, (i) the smallness of the Christian faith at the time, thought it has grown to be great (ii) the smallness of our faith, but that it can grow and flourish, (iii) that on our own we feel small like the mustard seed, but together as God's people we can be part of something much bigger and greater, God's eternal Kingdom. The parable of the pearl represents (i) the preciousness of the Kingdom, (ii) that to 'own' it means we have to give up things that we shouldn't do, and (iii) that we should put God's Kingdom above all else, being willing to sacrifice anything for it.
