This sermon from Exodus 30:11–16 explored the census and atonement price commanded by God, emphasizing that every Israelite, rich or poor, was to offer the same amount—a half-shekel—as a symbol of belonging to God. This atonement price served as a reminder of their redemption and pointed forward to Christ, whose precious blood is the true price for our salvation. We were reminded that Scripture is our only sure standard, and that Christ is the only sufficient sacrifice. The message called us to examine whether we are truly counted among God's people, resting in the atonement He has fully provided.
