the story i find myself in

so ry, holly, amanda, and i headed out to ecclesia sunday night and suddenly i was taken back to almost every church i have ever worked with....scu, sacred, rockharbor, the journey etc...it is was a cool/wierd feeling. anyways robbie led worship and then the associate pastor came up to teach. the passage he taught from was isaiah 5 and it was interesting....we were all talking afterwards about what the pastor taught and in the passage there are many 'woe to you's' (as in any good prophet book) and what the pastor seemed to do was talk about all the extreme instances of how bad these people were. like how they were expanding for their own sake, or how they were drunk all the time....i dont know....this post isnt going where i thought it was going to go...having trouble putting into words what i am thinking...i think the bottom line is that it seemed that after interpreting the passage like we had it interpreted to us - it seemed that i got off scott free - like the prophet wasnt speaking to me because i wasnt in the extreme catagory that he was speaking to...to me, it seems like in the passage that there is a deeper message then what was taught....ok - done with this very confusing post....just trying to get some words out... peace.
