Passover (1 of 7)
Series: Living Out the Feasts of Israel
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Leviticus 23:4-5
Who doesn't enjoy a good feast? While Pastoring in Odessa, Texas we met a man named Jesse Gore, his wife Penny and their three sons, and oh yes, their dachshund named Samson. They soon became a part of our extended Easley family.

I've always been grateful for the Gore's friendship. You say, ''Ernest, that's all good but what does that have to do with feasts?'' I'm glad you asked!
The Gore's introduced us to what they called ''a Gore throw-down.'' The first time I heard that expression I imagined some wrestling event. I soon discovered their ''throw-down'' was not about fighting, but about feasting! I mean, a serious ...
