Daniel 1:1-3
Welcome to Babylon
Pastor Mwindula Mbewe · 25 January 2026 · Daniel Series
In Welcome to Babylon, Pastor Mwindula Mbewe introduces the Daniel series by confronting the reality of God’s people living faithfully in a hostile and foreign culture. Drawing from the book of Daniel, the sermon explores what it means to be taken from a place of spiritual familiarity into “Babylon”—a system that seeks to reshape identity, loyalty, and worship. This message highlights God’s sovereignty over nations and history, even when His people appear defeated or displaced. Pastor Mbewe challenges believers to remain steadfast, discerning, and obedient to God while living in a world that pressures them to conform. The sermon sets the foundation for understanding faithfulness, holiness, and hope in exile, reminding Christians that God is at work even in unfamiliar and difficult circumstances.
