(Matthew 4:18-19 NLT) One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers--Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew--throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. Jesus called out to them, "Come, follow me, and I will....

(Matthew 4:19 NLT) ". . . . how to fish for people!”

(Proverbs 11:30 NIV) The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and the one who is wise saves lives.

(Colossians 4:5-6 NIV) Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

1. Wise in our moments.

(Psalm 37:23 NKJV) The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.

(Proverbs 16:9 NLT) We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.

• Be Intentional

• Add Value

(1 Corinthians 3:6 NLT) (Paul) I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow.

2. Wise in our manners.

(Matthew 5:13-14 MSG) “Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth... Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world.”

(Matthew 5:16 NLT) In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

3. Wise in our message.

(1 Peter 3:15-16 NLT) Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ.
