At WGBC, we have been hearing sermons based on Romans 9-11 recently.  It is a three sermon series that ends on November 14.   The people called Israel were chosen to be the lead-people in sharing the message of God to all humanity.  But the Jews rejected the God revealed in the Christ.  Because of their rejection, God then rejected them.  But, a remnant has been secured.  God has not given up on the Jews (or the Gentiles).  Not all, but some of both the Jews and the Gentiles will be saved.  Salvation has always been free, but salvation must be received.
