 H.J. Vine ( - )
Read freely text sermons and articles by the speaker H.J. Vine in text and pdf format. H.J. Vine was involved in the early Plymouth Brethren movement. The Plymouth Brethren are a conservative, low church, nonconformist, Evangelical Christian movement whose history can be traced to Dublin, Ireland in the late 1820s, originating from Anglicanism.
Among other beliefs, the group emphasizes sola scriptura, the belief that the Bible is the supreme authority for church doctrine and practice over and above "the [mere] tradition of men" (Mark 7:8). Brethren generally see themselves, not as a denomination, but as a network (or even as a collection of overlapping networks) of like-minded independent churches.

Honour the Son
“That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honours not the Son honours not the Father which has sent Him” (John 5:23).
In gatherings where a deep sense of God’s presence has been realized, one has often experienc ... read more
How God is Known as Father
The highest knowledge of all is obtained through our Lord Jesus Christ alone! Advanced religious thought and modernism deny this! While they profess to reverence Him in measure, they refuse the honour which essentially belongs to Him as the Revealer of th ... read more
How to Conduct Oneself in God’s House which is the Assembly of the Living God
The above words are given to us by the Spirit in 1 Timothy 3:15, where we are also told that the assembly is “the pillar and base of the truth.” It is where the faith of God’s elect is found, where the faith which was once delivered to the saints is ... read more
I Come Quickly: Hold Fast
Revelation 3:11
The Lord is coming again, and Scripture shows plainly what will mark those who are prepared for that momentous event. Enoch was ready to go when God took him, and Elijah also, in his day, and they were both translated.
Those who are ... read more
I have Loved Thee . . . I Come Quickly
Revelation 3:9-11
These words are said by our Lord Jesus Christ, not to men who are prominent in world affairs or who are famous for great learning or successful work, but to His saints who have a “little power,” and who look with eager longing for ... read more
I Have Overcome
Those who believe on the Son of God have something to overcome. Eternal life is theirs through faith in Him and they can never perish, but there is that which is antagonistic, and it is dangerous to be indifferent in regard to the matter, lest we be overc ... read more
I Trust My Soul to Jesus
Tom was the son of a miner living in the north of England. His parents loved him tenderly, and, being earnest Christians, they often prayed that he might be brought to accept the Saviour, who was so dear to them. He was indifferent, however, and loved the ... read more
In Christ Jesus
2 Timothy
In the second letter to Timothy “the difficult times” that should be present in the last days are spoken of once, but of that which is ours “in Christ Jesus” seven times.
This is surely significant, and it would be healthful if we ... read more
In the Midst of the Assembly
Who is in the Midst of the Assembly?
The answer to this question determines for us the nature and character of the gathering; and seeing it is our Lord Jesus Christ Himself—as Hebrews 2:12 tells us—the One who is exalted above all as Heir of all th ... read more
In Thy Presence
From the darkness and the perils
Of a world by Satan swayed
Peace we find in God’s own presence,
Where our minds on Him are stayed;
Leaving thoughts that once distressed us,
Holy themes our tongues employ;
Grace and truth are k ... read more
Inclusive and Exclusive
It is important, in relation to the oneness of the saints of God, to understand the truth of the one body; to grasp in faith the fact of it “There is one body.” This is a fact whether we grasp it or not, but the Holy Spirit has given us the truth of i ... read more
Intimacy
The ties of Divine love which bind the Lord to His own and His own to Him are close, and real, and living. Whether we view Him as the Head of His body, the assembly, and our oneness with Him thus, as the Spirit shows us through Paul, or as the risen Son o ... read more
Jerusalem and its Royal Owner (As seen by Zechariah)
To those who belong to the assembly of which our Lord Jesus Christ is the Head it is declared, “Jerusalem above is free, which is our mother”; and our character is now being formed by God according to that of the heavenly city. It is revealed in its s ... read more
Jesus, The Son of God
A welcome calm followed the bitter storm! Certain religious leaders questioned a poor man regarding his life-long blindness, and how he was saved from it. Born blind, he now stood before them with good eye-sight. How was this to be explained?
The blind ... read more
Let Him Boast
1 Corinthians 1:31, N.Tr.
In what does this scripture ask us to boast? Certainly not in the state of the world! Its present condition has caused large numbers to abandon their former boastings as to its progress. Nor do the inspired words above quoted ... read more
Leviticus and Hebrews
Nearness and Response
One of the great distinctions of this third book of the Bible is found in the name given by Leah to her third son. She called him Levi, which means joined or united, for she said, “Now this time will my husband be joined unto me ... read more
Light For All
Perhaps nothing has so effectively warped and dwarfed those who have been delivered from the world systems of religion like such expressions as “special light,” “more light,” “new light,” and “the light is with us.” This claiming of “lig ... read more

Love to All the Saints
The love of God told out in Christ upon the cross of Calvary has been shed abroad in the hearts of those who have believed the gospel, and it has produced what the law demanded but could not secure—love to Him who first loved them. God and His love are ... read more
Love to the Brethren
For anyone to be entirely devoid of “love to the brethren,” is a sure sign that he is still unregenerate. “He that loves not his brother abides in death,” we are told. There may be proud claims of light and righteousness, of being in advance of ot ... read more
Lovers! Of What and Whom
God’s own love has begotten a family which loves Him, so that we read in the Word of “them that love God” (Rom. 8; 1 Cor. 2). His love is declared to be “His great love wherewith He loved us, even when we were dead in sins;” and we are called up ... read more

My Father
Exceedingly dear to the heart of our Lord Jesus Christ were the things which He spake of as “My Father’s.” Those who contemplated His glory on earth, afterwards said, when the Holy Spirit was given, it was “a glory as of an only-begotten with a fa ... read more
My Soul Waits upon God
“Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not be fai ... read more
Not Ashamed
Various kinds of messengers have been used by God. Angels have brought His messages to men. But it is His way today to use sinners saved by grace. He enables them by His Holy Spirit to tell of forgiveness and salvation through His Son, our Lord Jesus Chri ... read more
Not Forsaking the Assembling of Ourselves Together
The Lord is coming again! The midnight cry has gone forth after long ages of slumber! “BEHOLD THE BRIDEGROOM! GO FORTH TO MEET HIM” (Matt. 24). This was foretold in the Scriptures of Truth. And to it and to the glory of the coming One, the Spirit is b ... read more

Praising and Blessing God
With the above words the inspired gospel of the perfect Man ends (Luke 24:53), and we may well ask, what caused the disciples’ hearts to rise up thus and with such great joy to praise and bless God? They had just seen that perfect Man ascend from earth ... read more

Questions on Prophetic Subjects
“A Great Wonder in Heaven”

THE WOMAN is Israel, f ... read more
Reconciliation
Romans 5:10-11; 11:13-15; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21
Four times, beloved, we have “reconciliation,” as such, spoken of in the New Testament, and the very fact that it crowns the first great division of the Epistle to the Romans, shows its importance. Fo ... read more
Recover us Again
There is a response awakened in many hearts by that deep-toned chord of Psalm 85:6, “Wilt Thou not revive us again: that Thy people may rejoice in Thee.” The word “revive” could be read “recover” (khaw-yaw, the same as in Isaiah 38:9).
The ... read more
Redeemed and Reconciled
