Home for Christmas: Finding Belonging in the Embrace of Jesus

Welcome to the Coffee Creek Church Podcast! In today’s episode, Pastor Clark Frailey leads us into part three of the Christmas Playlist series, diving deep into the theme of “Joy” as we celebrate Advent. Pastor Clark reflects on cherished Christmas music, the pursuit of lasting joy, and how the true meaning of home isn’t found in a place, but in a relationship with Jesus. Drawing from scripture, personal stories, and insights from theologians like CS Lewis and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, this episode reminds us that even in moments of loneliness and imperfection, there’s an invitation to belong and experience real joy. --- 📅 Join us live on Sundays at 11 AM - both in person and online. 📌 Follow us on social media: Facebook: https://facebook.com/coffeecreekchurch Instagram: https://instagram.com/coffeecreek.church App: https://coffeecreek.churchcenter.com/ ================= 00:00 "Advent Joy and Gratitude" 03:24 "Building a Spotify Playlist" 07:16 "Not Home, Like Christmas Story" 12:41 "Jesus Invites You Home" 15:25 "Life's Temporary Nature Explained" 19:08 "Love Others as God Does" 23:37 "Joy Through Jesus' Invitation" 25:01 Silent Night Candle Service Christmas, Advent, Joy, Coffee Creek Church, Podcast, Jesus, Homelessness, Home, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon, Christian mission, Giving, Impact report, Temporary world, Belonging, Refugees, outsiders, Community, Candlelight service, Sabbath, Solitude, Silence, Hospitality, Prayer, Sharing joy, CS Lewis, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Love your neighbor, Leviticus 19, Eternal home
