During the Gospel Coalition conference in 2013, Kevin DeYoung gave a thoughtful, spirit-led sermon on Luke 15. He was able to bring new, challenging perspectives to this well-known passage. The passage is below, followed by the video of his sermon, followed by some notes on his sermon.

Tim Keller reveals there is more to Abraham's bargaining with God about Sodom, including questions Keller asks about why Abraham didn't bargain further--to one righteous person. A link to the audio file is at the end.
