Once gave a sermon on Information Security, but instead of talking about technology or companies, I talked about the soul, the gospel, and the security we all can find in Christ. Come see have a threat assessment and risk analysis of your eternal soul right now!

1. Spiritual Security

2. Are You Secure?
 Do you have enough money?
 How about your retirement?
 Have insurance?
 Do you lock your doors?
 What about a security system?
 Think you’re secure?

3. So What if I Told You…
 You are not secure
 Everything can be taken from you
 Tomorrow you could have nothing
 You’re vulnerable because….
 You’ve only thought of security in this world

4. Matthew 6:19-21
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on
earth, where moth and rust destroy, and
where thieves break in and steal. “But store
up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust destroys, and
where thieves do not break in or steal; for
where your treasure is, there your heart will
be also.”

5. Spiritual Security
 Jesus was talking about security you cannot find here.
 Jesus says that your security here means nothing.
 Tomorrow, thieves could steal, natural elements destroy.

6. Security 101
 You have Threats, Risk, and Vulnerabilities
 Vulnerabilities is how you are weak
 Threats are things that can attack you
 Risk is the probability the threat can exploit your
vulnerability, and also the impact of that happening
 We combat this with Prevention, Deterrence, and Response
 We want to prevent threats from attacking, deter them as
well, and also respond when we notice we are attacked.

7. Security 101
 So how does this apply to us spiritually?
 No matter how good you are, you have to be good 100% of
the time all the time
 Your adversary only has to be right ONCE for a breach to
occur.
 So realize, you WILL be breached.

8. You Will Be Breached
 Let’s understand why.
 Threat: Ephesians 6:10-12
 The threat is not earthly or physical
 Your vulnerabilities will not be physical either
 Threat: Satan; a roaring lion; 1Peter 5:8
 Threat: Bad company corrupts good morals 1Corinthians 15:33

9. Does this look secure to you?
But….. They have a lock!

10. You Can Prevent It
 Psalm 1
 This person minimizes his risk to various threats
 This person keeps himself grounded in the Word
 The security of the wicked ones are revealed
 Ephesians 6:10-18
 The armor is not physical, it’s spiritual.
 It’s layered. Not one silver bullet.
 Basics first, then maturing
 Praying binds it all together.

11. You Can Respond
 When a breach happens, the world has not ended, but there
is work to do!
 You want to know what data was taken, how much, and by
whom.
 Peter Vs Judas
 Confess to each other; James 5:13-16
 Prayer: Psalm 51, an example
 The idea of response is to recover from an incident

12. You Can Learn
 We can make changes : Matthew 18:8-9
 Jesus said we might need to make changes so that we might not
give sin opportunity
 Sometimes these trials teach us: James 1:2-5, 12
 Even when we fail, trials teach us so that we might succeed
 Add to your virtue knowledge..: 2Peter 1:5-10
 There is growth beyond mere faith that is needed to be secure
 Those who don’t work for maturity forget their spirituality

13. Christ Provides the Ultimate Security
 John 10:27-30
 Romans 8:31-39
 This doesn’t mean that we are not in danger and there is no
risk in sin. Remember, Paul said earlier in Romans 6:1-2
 We can fall away, but it is not God’s doing. It is ours.
 Users and poor operation security make companies
vulnerable everyday. Same thing with Christians
 James 1:14-16

14. If You Do Not Have Christ…

15. This Is Your Security

16. So what’s the risk?
 Where is our treasure, if not in heaven?
 If we are not dead to sin, we are dead to Christ
 If we seek to save our life here, we lose it. If we lose this life,
we gain a better one (Luke 17:33)

17. To those not in Christ
 You have no security
 You are vulnerable
 You are accepting a risk you cannot afford to accept
 Don’t be without security
