Summary

The parable of the prodigal son shows us, among many things, how the gospel creates a new and different kind of community. The parable shows us a family that is unraveling and falling apart—it is experiencing assaults on its integrity and cohesion. In this sermon, we will see that the story of the prodigal son gives us a picture of an assault on community, because of idolatry which is only overcome by agony. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 5, 2008. Series: The Fellowship of Grace. Scripture: Luke 15:11-14. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

0:57.1	his father, father, give me my share of the estate. So he divided his property between them.
1:06.7	Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had set off for a distant country
1:13.5	and there squandered his wealth and wildlife it. After he had spent everything, there was
1:20.6	a severe famine in that whole country and he began to be in need. So he went out and
1:28.6	hired himself to a citizen of that country who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He
