Is the church the new Israel

Our preacher this week is Ryk Botes a South Afrcian born preacher and a graduate of the Masters seminary. He was ordained at Grace Community Church in California after completing His M.Div degree at the Master's Seminary he says "my role in a church was I hoped to be a full time paster but God had other plans for me and now I am an itinerant preacher visiting church's through out the south of England". Ryk looks at the question "Has the church replaced Israel". Using Isaiah 61 Ryk will see if this is true or False.
