Starter motors draw a lot more amperage than lights, radios, horns, etc. Remove and fully charge, or replace, the battery. Most auto parts stores will test and charge batteries for free. Be sure to clean the battery terminals and cable connections with abrasive cloth or a battery terminal brush.

If the battery is sparking tighten down the connectors... because if they were tight they couldn't possibly spark. Its not going to work very well and could likely damage everything electronic if they are loose.
