His House Church International Statement of Messianic Faith
His House Church International is a Spirit-filled healing praise, worship and teaching Church. His House Church International is led by Pastors Jack and Sharon Valentino. They are joined by Messianic Rabbi Jay Fielding of Beth Chaim Messianic Congregation Network Ministries. His House International has a magnificent live worship team led by Bonnie Bailey. Pastor Jack Valentino was brought to the Lord many years ago through a Messianic Jewish Believer.
We are a Christian Church who honors our Jewish foundation in a Jewish Messiah! We worship within a modern and scriptural Hebraic context. We have our primary worship on Erev Shabbat, Friday evening, and on Sunday, the Lord’s Day. We practice both the Old Covenant Feasts and Holidays within their Messianic context and New Covenant Holidays within their Messianic context. We share communion at many services and on every Erev Shabbat add the traditional Baruchas or Blessings over the Bread and Wine. We start our Erev Shabbat services with the beautiful Sabbath Candle Lighting prayer and the sound of the Shofar blast.
Join us for God’s Appointed Times, Messianic Biblical Holidays and Special Modern Day Remembrances such as Israel Independence Day and Yom Ha-Shoah, Holocaust Memorial Day. Please see our calendar of dates of services.
We have been moved by the Holy Spirit to love Israel, the unsaved House of Israel, and our Hebraic roots, without giving up the grace, diversity, and beauty of our Church body. We serve the Church body as a light to restore the Hebraic roots of our Messiah. We use Jesus and His Hebrew name, Yeshua, (Yahweh Salvation) interchangeably. We use Messiah and Christ interchangeably.
We teach the whole Bible, (Genesis to Revelation) as the Living, Inherent Word of God. We Believe salvation only comes through personal repentance and acceptance of Yeshua into our hearts as our Passover Lamb. Yeshua, Jesus is the perfect and only blood sacrifice needed to wash us of our sins permanently. We believe in Baptism as an outward sign of our Born Again experience. We continue to learn and follow the Old Covenant and New Covenant commandments not to become righteous, but rather to practice living in submission to the Holy Spirit in our process of sanctification. All the Law and all the Prophets teach us how to Love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
As a mission to the unsaved Jewish people, the House of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, we remain Christian. We Believe Christianity is the prophesized extension of Judaism to its fullness in a Jewish Messiah. Yeshua HaMashiac came so that all humanity, the world, can be grafted into the Blessings of Abraham by faith. Gentile Believers should not convert to ethnic Judaism; rather, Paul called his ministry to the Gentiles to be a guiding light of love in a Jewish Messiah to his people the House of Israel.
We discourage Jewish legalism in our congregation, but encourage following Torah as a means of personal worship as each individual and family is guided by the Holy Spirit. We encourage Holiness through the submission to the Holy Spirit that leads to righteousness by faith and love for God, ourselves, and others. We keep Shabbat and God's Appointed Feasts and Holidays as a blessing to remind us of God has done, is doing, and will do for us in Messiah, rather than as ethnic Jewish Holidays. As an example, Paul encourages the Church to keep the Feast of Passover in the spirit of truth and not by the old malice of righteousness by keeping the law.
We also encourage our Church body to teach and embrace a love for physical Israel. In fact, God prophesized the rebirth of the modern state of Israel as an end time blessing and sign. The promise of the physical land of Israel to Abraham and his descendants is a type or shadow for the spiritual promise of eternal life for Believers grafted into Abraham's Blessings. One way we learn we can trust God to fulfill his promises to Believers is by His faithfulness to the House of Israel. Yeshua continues to work through both the Nation of Israel, as well as the Church to bring salvation to the world. Paul said God's covenants to his people are irrevocable.
