If Only I Had It To Do All Over Again Series

Contributed by Scott Chambers on Oct 3, 2008

The message examines Solomon as he reflects upon his life toward the end of his days.

In preparation for this message I decided to Google the phrase, “If only I had it all to do over again” and needless to say, I was amazed by the results.

And what’s more, did God make a mistake in making him king? In fact, should God have refused the Israelites request for a ...read more
