CONNECTING WITH THE COMMON MAN

Sam Walton was in the mid 90s named as one of the richest men in America. You'd never know it! He drove a pickup and lived like a regular person. Asked why he didn't drive a Rolls Royce, he replied, "Where would I put my dogs?" He was successful at least in part because he connected with the common man.

That's why Jesus came as a man to earth, God with us, to connect with the common man. He is an uncommon God.
