Theodore Austin-Sparks (1888–1971) was a British evangelist and author. Born in London, he became a Christian at seventeen while listening to street-preachers in Glasgow, and was ordained a Baptist minister at twenty-four. In 1926 he left the denomination and, with like-minded Christians, founded a conference and training centre at Honor Oak in south-east London. From there he published the free magazine "A Witness and A Testimony" until his death, and his conference ministry took him across Europe, North America and Asia. He asked that his messages be shared freely and word for word. Source: Wikipedia (summarized; CC BY-SA)

Opening from Ephesians, Austin-Sparks traces the church’s heavenly calling, conduct, and conflict, grounded in believers’ union with the exalted Christ. He considers the Holy Spirit’s provision, spiritual knowledge, and the church’s witness to God’s wisdom amid opposition from spiritual powers. The message calls believers to walk worthily of their calling, live by the Spirit, and stand in the Lord’s strength in a life on the highest level. Edited and supplied by the Golden Candlestick Trust.
