    The Nature and Dynamic of Ministry and the Nature and Purpose of the Church

    By T. Austin-Sparks
    2
    GAL 1:15

    T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes the profound nature and dynamic of ministry, asserting that true ministry is the outshining of Christ from within believers, not merely a function of teaching or preaching. He highlights the Apostle Paul's transformative experience on the Damascus Road as the source of effective ministry, which is rooted in a personal revelation of Jesus Christ. Sparks further explains that the Church's purpose is to embody this New Humanity, reflecting Christ's presence and glory in the world. He challenges conventional views of ministry and the Church, urging believers to recognize their inherent calling to minister Christ in their daily lives. Ultimately, he calls for a deeper understanding of the Church as a collective expression of Christ, transcending institutional boundaries.
