What happens when a believer dies?

Are we asleep… or alive with Christ right now?

In this powerful biblical teaching, we explore the present heaven — what Scripture reveals about paradise, Abraham’s bosom, and the reality of being “absent from the body and present with the Lord.” Many Christians talk about heaven in the future, but the Bible also speaks about what is happening right now for those who belong to Jesus.

Using passages from Luke 16, the words of Jesus on the cross, and the writings of Paul, this sermon examines questions believers have asked for centuries:

• Are people conscious in heaven now?

• Do believers remember their lives on earth?

• Can those in heaven see or understand what is happening?

• What is the intermediate heaven before the resurrection?

• How does the present heaven connect to the New Heaven and New Earth?

This message reveals a powerful biblical theme of continuity — showing how understanding heaven today helps us understand resurrection, eternal life, and the kingdom to come.

If you’ve ever wondered about loved ones who have passed away, struggled with fear of death, or wanted a deeper biblical understanding of eternity, this teaching will strengthen your hope and renew your expectation.

Heaven is not an abstract idea.

According to Scripture, it is a present reality — and Jesus has already defeated death.

👉 Watch, study along, and rediscover the hope of resurrection.
