That's My King! ... Do You Know Him?

This is fairly well-known clip from a sermon by the late S.M. Lockeridge. I played this for the VBS staff last week in staff devotions. If this doesn't get your blood pumping to praise the Lord, I don't know what will!

I'm not a big fan of the visuals that go along with most of the video versions that are out there, but this one isn't too bad. Note that the audio doesn't start until 20 seconds in.
