On this Wayman Wednesday, hear a classic message from Pastor Wayman Mitchell that will stir your soul and challenge your limits. In “The Challenge to Greatness,” Pastor Mitchell preaches from 1 Kings 4:29–34 on how God enlarged Solomon’s heart and gave him supernatural wisdom—not because Solomon wanted fame, but because he wanted to help God’s people.
This sermon challenges every believer to surrender fully to God’s will, embrace self-denial, and believe that God can do “exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.”
