In church on Sunday, I preached on one of my favorite passages, John 4. It's a great story of how Jesus met this woman at Jacob's well. He had love and compassion for her and set a great example for us. We discussed this story further at our home fellowship on Tuesday night. Basically we agreed that the "neutral zone" that Jesus met her at is really anywhere we go as Christians. The presence of Jesus should be seen in us wherever we go. We should be asking God for opportunities everyday to turn the conversation to deeper spiritual matters.
Any examples of how you all have been able to do that? I think it's great when we can talk about God, Jesus etc. with people before they ever come to our churches.

Hi Evan,
I love this concept.
We are told to go out and be Jesus to the world, but we so often huddle up in churches to just agree with one another on what we already know - and it ends there.
So many times when I've missed church for one reason or another, I find that I connect with someone in a way I wouldn't have, had I been in church that morning. I'm not advocating skipping church in the name of evangelism, LOL, but I think you see my point.
Lastly, I think the love of Jesus starts with love and ends with Jesus. We need to meet people where they're "at" and simply love them. Jesus will do the rest. :)
Just my thoughts on this cold, blustery, snowy Maine day... California dreamin' for sure.
Have a good one!
